    Bajaj Pulsar NS160: My Trusty City Zoomer 

    As the proud owner of a Bajaj Pulsar NS160, I have had quite the adventure zipping through the busy streets and occasional long stretches of my city. Purchased just over a year ago, this bike with its 160.3 cc engine offers the zest I need with a peak power of 15.5 PS and believe me, it does make a difference. The torque of 14 Nm coupled with a 5 speed gearbox ensures a smooth ride even in tricky traffic.Riding comfort is considerable, thanks to its well seat and upright riding posture, making even the longer commutes manageable.
