            Really I've been using ns160
            Really I've been using ns160 for almost 6mon & I'm getting a mileage of 47 in city & 56 in highways really stunned by the mileage. New 2024 model also now have Bluetooth compatibility, turn by turn navigation, led headlamps & thunder drls which is looking cool in the day time. I've done almost 3 services & not faced any issues. The new ns160 reaches a top speed of 125kmph which is amazing, initial pickup is also good asf. For city commute, with muscular look & better mileage surely the ns160 will be outperform with its price.

            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.
