    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.

    I bought an mt 15 2 years 

    I bought an mt 15 2 years ago.The best thing about this bike is the handling, Especially considering i live in aizawl, With having to make turns on sharp corners daily, Other bikes usually feel too stiff after owning an mt 15.However, The seat is a bit too uncomfortable and even more so for the passenger.Being the narcissist that i am, I could care less what my passenger thought.But with a baby on the way, I must bid my farewell to this bike.It's the first new bike i've owned and it has been my baby.I am sad to see it go, And i can confidently say, I've fell in love but it is also leaving me heartbroken, Since response must come first.
