Good for City Riding.
Good for City Riding. Mileage is decent, pillion seat is not that much comfortable, initial pickup is slightly low, sensors are good, Bluetooth connectivity with mobile is only active if the app is running, Bike Service is not much good, not suitable for those who want to speed, both front and rear tyres are good

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.

Super buke
The TVS Raider is a stylish and sporty 125cc bike with great mileage (55-60 km/l), modern features like LED lights and Bluetooth, and a comfortable design ideal for city commutes. It offers responsive performance, affordable maintenance, and is perfect for young riders, though less suited for highways. A great value-for-money option.

A light weight bike
Body is mostly fiber/plastic build so it's light weight and low height bike. I you like low weight bike then definitely go for it. Also as it's 125 cc, it's good for daily use and average is also nice (around 60kmpl). The sound of exhaust is also good when you drive the bike fast and bike's looks attract everyone on the road
