        I get an awesome feeling every time I ride this bike. The tyre grip is excellent, and the ABS performance adds great confidence while braking. Mileage is also impressive at around 40 km/l, making it a solid choice for both performance and economy.

        The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is generally considered a good all-around sporty commuter motorcycle, offering a balance of performance, comfort, and fuel efficiency. It's a stylish, well-built bike suitable for both daily commutes and weekend rides, with a refined 160cc engine and comfortable suspension setup. While it's a strong contender in its segment, it might not be the most exciting
