            Highway tourer
            It's a very good touring bike I am very big fan of cbr 250r as it is discontinued karizma is a very nice option for me. It is a best option for highway touring it has a good seating comfort The only thing I think to be changed was it's tyres . Tyres are not a good one New features ade nice for this bike.

            A Budget Superbike
            This is the first bike I bought ...but after that I realised why I bought it..very very worst customer care support and service centre are worst in my area.Apart from that Smooth experience with bike and it is more comfortable only one thing service costs are too high.if you maintain it good then it will best for the money.But it's a good superbike category falls under budget.

            Review of Ns160
            Overall performance was good and the initial pick up was as good as ns200 mileage also nice it's giving 45-50per liter and the comfort was quite disappointment back was paining and burning during long drive. Top speed it will go till 130 and there is no wobbling when we are going in 100+ Thank you..

            Ns160 comp n160
            Good to handle, but not best for the price because almost every things same comes in n160 except the look with even much more less cost. So if you are looking for look go with this if budget constraints not recommended and the stability of ns is literally top notch If you are a ns lover but you want a good mileage and good power go with ns160
