    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.

    Fun to ride machine 

    I am a happy owner of Yamaha R15S. Although the race riding position intensifies the fun of the riding, on the flipside, it may be a bit hard on the longer ride, especially for a person like me who is procrastinator and who sometimes suffers from backache. Furthermore, while this sporty suspension setup gives the vehicle superior cornering, it also tends to compromise the ride quality, making bumps just a bit jarring to passengers. Furthermore, the smaller fuel tank size requires meticulous planning before embarking on extended rides to prevent fuel exhaustion in isolated areas.
