How does the NS160 hold up for taller riders?

It's not bad, but not great either for tall riders. I'm 6'1" and had to modify the handlebar position to feel comfortable.

As a 5'9" rider, it feels just right. I think Bajaj designed it with the average Indian height in mind.

Taller riders can manage, but you might want to invest in some aftermarket parts like raised handlebars for better comfort.
Does the NS160 live up to Bajaj's "Fastest Indian" legacy?
30 January 2025 09:53
It's quick for a 160cc, but calling it the "Fastest Indian" is a stretch. It's more like "The Slightly Quicker Than Average Indian."

For its segment, it's pretty fast. You can't expect 220cc performance from a 160cc engine, but it holds its own against competitors.

The NS160 is more about handling than straight-line speed. It might not be the fastest, but it's definitely one of the most fun to ride in its class.

Bajaj's marketing is overselling it. It's a good bike, but it doesn't live up to the hype of being exceptionally fast.

In city traffic, it feels plenty fast. But on open roads, you start wishing for more power. It's fast-ish, not fastest.

The "Fastest Indian" legacy is more about the spirit than actual speed. In that sense, the NS160 delivers with its sporty feel and quick response.

Let's be real, no 160cc bike is going to be the "Fastest Indian." But for what it is, the NS160 is pretty nippy.
Is the Pulsar NS160 really worth the hype?
30 January 2025 09:53
Absolutely worth it! The NS160 handles like a dream compared to other 160cc bikes. That perimeter frame makes a real difference in cornering.
Is the Pulsar NS160 really worth the hype?
30 January 2025 09:53
Overhyped, if you ask me. Sure, it looks cool, but performance-wise, it's not that different from the Apache RTR 160 4V, which is cheaper.
Is the Pulsar NS160 really worth the hype?
30 January 2025 09:53
It's a mixed bag. Great for city riding, but on highways, it feels a bit underpowered. I wish Bajaj had given it a bit more oomph.
Is the Pulsar NS160 really worth the hype?
30 January 2025 09:53
The hype is justified if you're into sporty looks and handling. But for pure commuting, there are cheaper options that do the job just as well.
Is the Pulsar NS160 really worth the hype?
30 January 2025 09:53
I'd say it's worth it for the build quality alone. This thing feels solid compared to some of the flimsier 160cc bikes out there.
Is the Pulsar NS160 really worth the hype?
30 January 2025 09:53
The NS160 is more of a lifestyle choice than a practical one. If you want to stand out and don't mind paying extra for it, go for it.
Is the Pulsar NS160 really worth the hype?
30 January 2025 09:53
It's overhyped in terms of performance, but underhyped in terms of comfort. Long rides on this are surprisingly pleasant.
Is the NS200's maintenance a headache?
30 January 2025 09:49
The NS200 is pretty low maintenance in my experience. I have had mine for 3 years and apart from regular services nothing major. It is easy to get parts and they aren’t too expensive. As long as you keep up with the scheduled maintenance it will run smoothly.
Is the NS200's maintenance a headache?
30 January 2025 09:49
It’s a bit of a headache, especially if you’re unlucky. The clutch cable has snapped in the past and the engine gets too hot. The frustration with Bajaj's service centers is that they are hit or miss. It's not awful by any means but it just needs a lot more TLC than some other bikes I've owned.
Is the NS200's maintenance a headache?
30 January 2025 09:49
If you know what you’re doing, maintenance is reasonable. I do most of the basic stuff myself and only take it to the service center for big work. The engine is pretty rugged, but you got to watch the electricals – they can be a little finicky.
