            The Bajaj N160 naked bike
            The Bajaj N160 is a great blend of power, style, and efficiency. Its 160cc engine delivers enough power for both city commutes and longer rides, and with a mileage just above 47 km/l, it’s impressively fuel-efficient for its class. The dual-channel ABS provides reliable braking, enhancing safety, while the modern design and comfortable seating make it enjoyable for daily use. For anyone looking for a stylish and efficient daily rider, the N160 hits the mark perfectly.

            Good bike to ride
            Smooth bike to ride it has dual channel ABS and the engine sound it totally different from 150 cc segment from bajaj they are providing... And if you compare this bike with any other 160 cc segment bikes then you should need to pay extra amount for the same spec in any other brands.. I would highly recommend you to buy this bike..

            Long travel in R15
            Pros: Good mileage. Worth for money if you prefer to buy a good used bike. Yamaha service is good. Pillion ride can use the seat upto 50kms. More than this, its own risk. Avg speed recommend is 80/90 to 110kmph Mileage: 40-47kmpl Cons: Avoid long ride without break points. This may leads to disc slip in future. Low quality plastics were found in bike.

            I am Yamaha R15 vV4M model bike user for 20 months ago. Look vise good and engine performance also wonderful then maintainaence cost also average charges only my bike mileage given for normal traffic areas given 40-45 kmpl then highway ride given 50-55 kmpl standard performance then safety ABS brakes system is very useful but travel in long ride means back pain coming so travel time taking tea break interval and another one disappoint front LED light focus in night not clear for vision road it's very discomfort for night ride not safety We can add some extra fitting lights for visioning otherwise engine performance maintainance also good power torque giving for 155c is given worth then service showroom also good.
