Trending Questions on Bajaj Pulsar N160 - Answered by Autocar Experts
I currently own a Bajaj V15 and I am planning to buy a new bike for commuting and occasional long drives. My budget is ₹2 lakh. Please suggest a bike that offers good performance, mileage, and comfort.
Since you haven't specified what displacement range or style of bike you are looking at, we'll give you multiple options to choose from.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a good option because it will be comfortable, stylish and will give you decent performance and fuel economy too. Another bike worth taking a look at is the Honda CB300F, which is a friendly naked bike that will also be comfortable and fuel-efficient. You can also take a look at the Hero Xpulse 210, which will be far the most comfortable machine of all the bikes mentioned here.
If you want to stick to the same displacement bracket, bikes like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are the options to consider. Take a test ride of everything you're considering before making a decision.
Kudos to the Autocar team for helping motorists. I appreciate all your guidance and help. I used to ride a Honda Unicorn, but switched to a scooter after becoming a father for safety and convenience. I’m not happy with the scooter and want to return to a motorcycle with a smooth ride, plush suspension, and low maintenance. I need a bike suited to Bengaluru city commuting. I’m 175 cm tall and on the heavier side, and I prefer a model that handles rough roads well. Please suggest suitable options.
First of all, thank you for your patronage, we appreciate your kind words.
Coming to what machine we would recommend, since you had such a lovely experience with your Unicorn in the past, you can look at the same bike even today because it is a no-nonsense, practical and fuel-efficient commuter.
If you want to look at other options in the class, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V are our top picks in the 150/160cc sporty commuter segment.
Take a test ride of everything you shortlist so you can decide what suits you best.
Hello, Autocar. I follow your updates and value your suggestions. I currently own a 2015 Hero Passion Pro in good condition. I want to upgrade to a 160cc bike. I am 5'9", my daily commute is around 60km with family, and my budget is ₹1.5 lakh. I like the NS160. Please guide me.
I am currently using TVS sport 2017 model. My daily commute 54 kms approx. I want to upgrade to 150 - 160 CC to make occasional long rides. I am confused to choose between top contenders. Kindly suggest me in this concern.
Since you are already familiar with the TVS after-sales experience, we would recommend you take a look at the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V.
It is a smooth, comfortable, fuel-efficient and feature-rich offering. However, do bear in mind, it can feel cramped for larger riders, so we'd advise you to take a test ride and figure out if that is the case for you. Another option to consider is the Bajaj Pulsar N160, which has similar attributes to the Apache bikes but is a more spacious machine.
I am 31 years old and have been using a 2016 Jupiter for the last 9 years. I now want to shift to a mid-range bike around 150cc. My riding pattern is around 60km per day, five days a week, with about 70% normal traffic and the remaining in heavy traffic. Can you advise me on the best options available in Hyderabad with a mileage of around 45kmpl? I am 5'10" with a lean build. I have been riding a 2018 Gixxer (my cousin’s) for the last month and generally feel comfortable on it, though I experience slight lower back pain occasionally. Also, please advise on the XSR 155.
I have a 13-year-old Hero Extreme 150 and want to change. I’m 45 and looking at the Honda Hornet 2.0, Hero Xtreme 160 R4V, and Apache RTR 160 4V in the same segment. Pillion comfort is essential. I ride 100-150 km per week and occasionally do long drives. Which bike should I buy, and are there any other good options?
Of the three options you have shortlisted, all are practical and comfortable options which will serve you well. Since pillion comfort is a priority, try to go for a bike/variant which has a single seat. Also, take your preferred pillion with you for a two-up test ride on all the machines. This will help you gauge each bike's strengths and weaknesses for yourself.
You should also consider the Bajaj Pulsar N160 in the same category for its smooth engine, plush suspension and comfortable seating position.
If you are open to extending your budget by a little bit, you can also opt for the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, which will give you a different riding experience than these commuters but will simultaneously also be a comfortable machine.
I currently own a Honda Livo for my daily commute from point A to point B, and I want to upgrade to a new bike in the 125 cc to 220 cc segment for the same purpose. My daily ride is about 20 km in the city. I’m considering bikes like TVS Ronin, Apache, Bajaj Pulsar N160, Hero Glamour, and Honda Hornet. I want reliability and comfort for daily commuting.
All the options you've shortlisted are great at being decently reliable point A to point B runabouts.
Going for a 125cc or 150/160cc option like the Hero Glamour, Bajaj Pulsar N160, or the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V will give you considerably more fuel efficiency than a bigger machine like the TVS Ronin, but at the cost of performance.
We'd recommend taking a test ride of all the options you're looking at and then deciding.
I have been riding Royal Enfield motorcycles for years. First, I owned a Bullet Electra (2023), and then a Himalayan 411 (2020), which has crossed 45,000+ km. Lately, the Himalayan has started showing electrical issues and E20-petrol-related problems, and it has become difficult to depend on it for my daily rides. I travel at least 50km every day and occasionally do 100+ km suburban rides on weekends, so I urgently need a reliable, low-maintenance and practical motorcycle. An upright posture is a must. My budget is ₹2 lakh.
I have a 9-year-old Pulsar 150 and want to change. I’m 35 now. I have seen the Honda SP160, Bajaj NS200, and Apache RTR 160 in the same segment. I am also considering different types like the CB350, Royal Enfield Hunter, and Avenger Cruise. I’m confused about which one to buy. Any other options? I ride 60-80 km per week and occasionally go for long drives.
I’m looking for a bike that looks good and offers lots of features. I’m considering the TVS RTX 300 for its features, but I’m also tempted to wait for the Yamaha XSR. I feel the RTX’s weight might be too much for me - I rode an Apache 160 comfortably, and I don’t think I can handle a bike weighing over 150 kg. I want a bike with 40-50 kmpl mileage, good looks, and plenty of features. I’ve also considered the Pulsar and Unicorn; don’t limit suggestions to these. What should I choose?
Since you're shopping in the 150/160cc segment and want flashy looks, good features and decent mileage too, here are all the options you should consider. The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is a smooth, comfortable yet decently sporty machine. Also, since you mentioned that you want a more manageable machine, we'll stick with options that have a low seat and are lightweight. In a similar vein, you can also consider the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and Honda SP160, too.
If you can extend your budget, bikes like the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 will also fit the bill because they have punchy performance, yet return good fuel efficiency and are lightweight and manageable too.
