      The mileage is not very excellent but best in looks. Even the latest version is no match in looks against it. Affordable bike. The exhaust is not exactly sporting sounding but it's good. Worth it.

      Superbike for me. I am a college student and this bike is best for me. Maintenance cost is very low, hence it is under budget.

      Nice experience for this bike. I want to change the bike with Pulsar N160 Dual Channel ABS. I think this Pulsar N160 gives me best comfort for riding position and great performance with perfect BS6 engine. I think Bajaj has reduced the vibration from the bike so bike sound will also become good.
