    beauty clubbed with performance  

    I love my Bajaj Pulsar NS160 as it is a stylish and fuel-efficient 164.82cc bike, perfect for daily rides. Its engine delivers 14.5 PS of power and 14.1 Nm of torque, with a top speed of around 110 kmph. Riders get around 45-50 kmpl in the city. It's comfortable with a split seat and upright riding position. The handling is decent, though some feel the suspension is stiff on rough roads. Safety features include disc brakes with optional ABS. While it's stylish and economical, vibrations are noticeable at high speeds.

    Embracing Adventure: Yamaha FZ-X 

    That deep crouch, that eagle eye, that precision touch, Yamaha FZ-X says it all. It recreates adventure in a rugged design and power-packed 149cc engine, making for unforgettable rides on and off the road. The muscular stance, raised seats and a high handle bar that the motorcycle creates and then fuses them to modern items like the LED lighting and digital screen to gives it the street look. FZ-X provides this combination between dynamic performance and comfort, having compensated ride quality and impressive handling response. Nevertheless, the fact that its seat height is high on the spinal column may inconvenience the riders who are not physically developed, while its safety component being just a conventional brake may be a drawback. In conclusion, this device is both fashionable and energetic enough to be a great mate during the city explorations.
