Trending Questions on Bajaj Pulsar N160 - Answered by Autocar Experts
Hi, I am an office goer planning to purchase a new bike in 2026 and want to upgrade from a 125 cc to a 150/160 cc bike. I commute about 60 km daily, with roughly 50% on decent roads and 50% on broken roads. Can you please suggest a bike in the 150/160 cc segment that offers both comfort and good mileage?
In the 150/160cc category, your best bets for a comfortable and fuel-efficient machine would range between the Honda Unicorn / SP160, Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Hero Xtreme 160R 4V.
Depending on your physique, each bike will fit you differently. So, we would recommend a test ride of all bikes on both good and bad roads before you make a purchase.
Hi AC team, I am currently 17 years old and will turn 18 in April 2026. After April, I want to buy a new bike for myself. I have enquired about the Honda CB125 Hornet, Yamaha MT-15, NS160, and Hero Xtreme 125R. My first priority was Honda because I am currently riding my dad’s 2012 Honda Shine 125 (Optimax), and I also have a Yamaha FZ-S. I am 5′7″ tall and weigh 60 kg. My maximum budget will be ₹1.2–1.5 lakh. Please suggest a bike for everyday college riding with friends and weekend highway rides.
The Honda CB125 Hornet makes a good case for itself as your first bike with its lightweight, frugal engine and flashy style. You should also take a look at the Hero Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider because there are some areas where these bikes have an upper hand on the Honda.
Bigger bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and Yamaha MT-15 will offer you more performance, albeit at the cost of fuel efficiency. They will also be a little heavier, but it won't be a big difference.
A test ride and a clear expectation of what you want from the bike will help you decide which bike is best for you.
My height is 5′3″/4″. I have been using a Honda SP 125 for 3 years and am happy with the mileage, but I want a bit more power, so I’m thinking of moving to the Pulsar N160. Based on my height, would this be a good choice?
The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is an excellent option in the 160cc commuter class and will make for a good step up from your SP125. In a similar vein, you can also look at the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, which has similar performance and will also return good fuel economy.
Both the Pulsar and Apache have manageable seat heights (approx. 800mm). It should help you get comfortable with these quite easily after a brief adjustment period.
I own and ride a KTM 390 Adventure 2023 and also a Royal Enfield Classic 500, but my work is around 22 kms one way and I am looking for a bike thats between the 2 bikes I already have, light weight like the KTM but easy to ride in the city traffic like the Classic 500 and with fuel efficiency around 50kms per litre at least. What would you suggest I go with, please guide.
I am planning to buy a new 160cc bike. My options are the Apache RTR 160 4V TFT, Pulsar N160, and Xtreme 160 4V. Most of my riding will be in the city at speeds of 60-70 kmph, with occasional long rides. My priorities are mileage, looks, low maintenance, good customer service, resale value, fewer complaints, comfort, performance, and easy availability of spare parts. Please suggest one good option.
I am a regular Autocar follower and need your guidance in choosing my next motorcycle. The bike will be used mainly for city commuting, though not in heavy bumper to bumper traffic. I have previously owned an Activa and a Honda Unicorn. I am 36 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, and occasionally ride with a pillion and my children. I am not very focused on looks or features and am primarily looking for a comfortable, reliable motorcycle for long term ownership. Budget is not a constraint.
If you are open to the idea of a larger, premium machine, then bikes like the TVS Ronin, Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Honda CB350 will be the options we recommend. If you want to instead go for a commuter bike, there are loads of great options in the 160cc space, such as the Honda Unicorn / SP160, Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Suzuki Gixxer.
Take a test ride of all the bikes you shortlist with a pillion to see what suits you best.
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 thinking of buying a bike with good mileage, good for city traffic, occassional long rides and comfortable seating position for pillion riders too. I am interested to opt for Yamaha XSR 155. Does that bike offers that? Or should I go for Pulsar N160 or TVS Ronin 225 or any other bike?
The Yamaha XSR155 you have shortlisted will give you everything you want aside from pillion comfort, as its seat isn't very long. This could be a subjective issue based on your size as well as your pillion's, but by and large, its pillion comfort is likely to be average, nothing to write home about.
It will be a similar story with the Bajaj Pulsar N160 too. The TVS Ronin will offer you everything you are looking for, so that is the bike we would steer you toward. If you are open to considering other machines, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be a good option too.
