Q. Between Unicorn 160 and Avenger 160, which one is good?
  • Selecting between the Honda Unicorn and Bajaj Avenger Street 160 would depend on certain factors such as preference of the segment, budget, features required and usage of the bike. If you are looking for a daily commuter with a much refined engine and old-school styling then you may opt for the Unicorn. Honda Unicorn has always been the go-to bike if you were planning to buy a 160cc commuter. On the other hand, if you are looking for a comfortable mile muncher and an affordable cruiser, then the Avenger Street 160 would be a better pick. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

Q. I am planning to buy a bike in this month, I daily commute 75 km's in rough road, I want good mileage and better suspension to handle rough road, In my mind I have three options Honda Unicorn 160, Apache RTR 160 4V, Yamaha FZ Fi V3 price is not a constraint to me. Please suggest which one is better?
  • As per your requirement, we would suggest you opt for the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. With the BS6-compliant iteration, TVS has made sure it is still as sprightly as ever despite the slight drop in power and torque figures. Still, Apache RTR 160 4V is a brilliant offering from TVS stable and offers great ride quality, good handling dynamics, a performance-packed engine and a feature-rich instrument console. The suspension setup soaks up undulations with ease while providing a calm and composed ride. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    I purchased Kawasaki W175 

    I purchased kawasaki w175 after test driving it.It is a very smooth engine and is at its best when in the range of 40-70 kmph.Very good in city conditions easy to handle light weight.The chassis is durable and sturdy.The mileage is a decent 40-45 kmpl.The more you ride it, The more you love it.It’s not for speed enthusiasts, This bike is for the ones who like to cruise smoothly at 60 kmph enjoying the weather, Engine feel without worrying about handling tech and all just classic retro motorcycling experience.Pleasure to shift gears, Decent ground clearance, Accessible seat height, Low kerb weight, Decent shock absorbers decent braking capabilities considering that you won’t enjoy speeds more than 80 in this one and pure motorcycling experience.It’s great for a weekend rides of 50-100kms.Coming to negative tube tyres, Limited showrooms for sales and service, Lack of accessories (given the minimalist design there is great scope of adding accessories), Seat structure and cushioning (not great for very long rides).I am not considering cost of vehicle as negative because you have to try it to believe it… it’s that good a motorcycle.Lastly it’s a great motorcycle for those who enjoy a cruising and a no brainier for beginners to motorcycling.Thank me later after having a test ride.

    I purchased Jupiter 110 Classic 

    I purchased jupiter 110 classic model in 2021.This scooter offers a great driving experience with leather padded seat, The back person is also comfortable.The best thing which it offers according to me is that it doesn't feel like you are riding 110 cc scooter because it's engine feels quite powerful, Which is the trademark of tvs.The pickup is quite slow, It gives the mileage of 60-63 km/l.It body is made up of good quality steel due to which it seems powerful.It also produces a little more vibration but it is not a big problem.After sale services is also excellent you get some free services and some paid services at service centre of tvs.

    There is no doubt 

    There is no doubt that kawasaki is ruling over all the best bikes in terms of looks and style as it actually retains the retro look apart, From, It has a 177cc engine with a five-speed manual gearbox and 12.8bhp which produces 13.2nm torque which rides an amazing.The riding is smooth and comfortable as well.I like all the models of kawasaki due to their engine performance.

    W denoted the modern 

    W denoted the modern range motorcycle with retro looks to give more definition to the bike.And kawasaki was able to pull it off very easily as the design and the looks are so stunning.I enjoy the dual color combination in which it is available.The knee spot over the fuel tank i think is copied from the re version of bikes.But overall, I’m hell impressed with w 175.
