Almost all NS160 reviews seems to have missed out on the powerful headlights 60/55w instead of the usual 35/35w. Please pay attention to the motorcycle and specs befoe reviewing and not get carried away by the usual product marketing!
The first ever pulsar that came out, pulsar 180 with round headlamps and spoked wheels.I swear when I used to ride it with my dad, it felt so awesome.The purring sound down in the revs and the comfy ride! And yeah.It wasn't a squid's fav bike back then.The blue pulsar brought back memories
It's your opinion but for me pulsar 160ns is way better than all its competitors. Even the brakes are damn good in this bikes. Actually handling a bike mostly depends on the rider. And regarding the tyres these are not that bad and MRF tyres always gives you the grip which you need while riding a bike.
TBH i will go with the Apache RTR 160 anyday. It's edgy design, race spec seating posture with good tank grip and those demonic LED DRL'S just make it so much more attractive to me. Also it has got a way better sounding exhaust than Pulsar NS 160. Plus we never know when Bajaj decides to discontinue the bike 😒
Great video, covers all the important points! However, we do have the Single channel ABS in NS200 and even Gixxer now. On another note, what is the helmet that you are using and would you recommend it? I am looking at these currently , a budget of 6k - Current shortlist - 1)SMK Helmets - Glide Sign 2)MT Helmets - Blade Alpha 3)SOL Helmets - SOL 68S II (top of the list for me!) 4) Kranos - Imola
That's the HJC FG-17 Valve. More details on it here - www.6kisleofman.com/estore/ We haven't had a chance to use the helmets that you have shortlisted. Motorcycling forums should be able to help you better.
One the iconic Motorcycle from Bajaj, got my first way back 2007 & crossed more than 50K kms in under 3 years, scaled Leh & mostly traveled all north India, Now scaling Japan on 120BHP machine, Lot of Love from Japan
Please make a comparison video between 200Ns and 160Ns..coz the difference in price between them is not much.. please.. adding Gixxer would be good addition for the comparison..it will help me alot in my buying decision
Wow it was beautiful to see the blue original Pulsar.. The naked beauty that still looks so eye catching! By the way the brand Pulsar is 16yrs old now and not 18..
Love it or hate it but no one can deny the fact that pulsar started it all all good bikes we have today is because pulsar changed the kitna deti he mind set & started performance sports & rest is history
Turning radius??? Engine heating?? Head lamp upper beam alignment?? Fuel indicator???Pls let me know if there is any engine heating issue, gear shifting problem ?? Rare tyre skidding or not?? Chain noise?? Hard clutch? Stiff suspension??
Please review Apache RTR 160, atleast give your thoughts about it like a first ride video... There is no video about it... Would love to hear from you.
Hey there Navaneeth, we shall tell you more about the Gixxer SF ABS once we get our hands on the media bike. About retrofitting the ABS unit, an authorised service centre should be able to help you with that.
Is the new updated twin disc version ok for occasional weekend rides of 200-300kms ?? Was considering NS200 but mileage will be a issue as I have daily commute of around 50-60 km.. Please Suggest.
Hi, thanks for the review... Actually I am planning to buy pulsar ns 160... This is my first bike... So is this good to buy... I am looking for longer durability with good performance....
Hi PowerDrift , can u tell me about telescopic and rear suspension size of Pulsar NS160 and Suzuki gixxer?? And can u tell me about millege of pulsar NS160 and suzuki gixxer and FZ 2.0??
I have ridden an apache 160(not 4v) and the surface of my feet does not fully touch the ground , will this be good or worse ? Please help me to choose the best 160cc motorcycle considering my height ....thanks!
Nicely done varun!😁🙌 its an exciting proposition, but I don't think the gearbox could be as smooth as the gixxers, so I would definitely choose the gixxer over this all day, nothing exciting brought the table as often bajaj do with the pulsar range, a bit disappointed
Considering it competes with Apache 160, Gixxer and Hornet, Bajaj should have provided rear disc as an option from day one. For that matter, even P180 gets it now.
Rear disk is optional same as Apache. There is a space provided for that. pay 2k extra they will install rear disk. u can ask the dealer/mechanic. none of them review about that optional rear disk poor TH-cam channels.
Great job bajaj and thumbs up for the review powerdrift!!! Anyway, what can you say about engine vibration and overheating, is it true issue?compared to gixxer 155 which is preferable? Thanks and God bless!!!
Hi PowerDrift, can u tell me about telescopic and rear suspension size of Pulsar NS160 and Suzuki gixxer?? And can u tell me about millege of pulsar NS160 and suzuki gixxer and FZ 2.0??
Thank you so much for making this video loved it and how did you find the classic pulsar in such an amazing condition and the riding gear looks amazing too
All, I am facing huge problem while riding in wind, the bike really losses it's stability due to wind & I need to slow down to 30 Km/h.. else the bike swings like anything due to wind... pls. Let me know how to avoid the vehicle swinging...!
A bike being squeezed into a segment that does not exist. 150cc segment at present belongs to average commuters. 150cc is the new 130cc. They desire decent looks, comfort, good mileage and cheap servicing cost. With such sporty looks, mono shock suspension and tall height, I wonder who would want to buy this bike. Sidenote : Regular pulsar 150 is already perfect. It does not need replacement.
issue is with the tight clutch, bad rear breaks the tyre seems to lock up and R15 is just 15 k-20k more that gixxer thts why m thinking of the R15 bahut jada refined hai R15
Just a small suggestion, since the audio was a bit too windy while riding, the speech could have been later dubbed in. Anyway still a great job on the review as always :)
Tech2Techy how about comfort on Apache? I've seen Apache 180 with ABS and not the 200RV. Also there's no Fuel Injected variant with Apache and NS200. Does NS200 has ABS?
Apache vibrates like mixer grinder and not liked the quality My friends apache front disc jammed and he falled really bad with a stoppie suddenly. I don't know how he is safe now It can even take life go for pulsar or apache 200 its better built and apache 160 & 180 have 10 years old engine technology with no change only a facelift

#PdArmy
Thank you Samit!
please do a good & bad video of the 2017 Duke 390!😍...love the way you guys present stuff!👌👏👏👏

I wish pulsar made a 400 cc naked sports(NS)....I would buy that over anything.. 😍
Vines World me too bro
But they have Dominar 400
Which was earlier a PULSAR 400
I do have an pulsar 180(2001 model) running good as till now!!!😎😎
One of the best bikes that i have driven till now!!!
Aye! Seems like you have a keeper! ;)
@4:11 look ma no hands! 👻
I liked the fact you kept the dog in frame.
#DoggoLove!
"...gym junkie who skipped a leg day" Hahahaha! Well written script! XD
Haha! Thanks Tumvix!
PowerDrift my Lovely channel
Make a same video on NS200
The doggie in the second last frame was the icing on the cake. Great review, as usual :)
Hahaha! Thank you Ashish!
Happy Independence day, PD.🇮🇳

Just came to office.. sign in to my youtube.. watching power drift video.. love your videos.. across the border.. Happy Independence Day brothers..
One the iconic Motorcycle from Bajaj, got my first way back 2007 & crossed more than 50K kms in under 3 years, scaled Leh & mostly traveled all north India,
Now scaling Japan on 120BHP machine,
Lot of Love from Japan
Please make a comparison video between 200Ns and 160Ns..coz the difference in price between them is not much.. please.. adding Gixxer would be good addition for the comparison..it will help me alot in my buying decision
Every PD video will hav somthing unique in it.. And this time the doggo puts a smile on everyones face with its innocent look...:)
now you should review the 2019 Pulser 160 cc abs veriant . thats very helpful for us
Surely, if we get our hands on it!
good to see that you guys didnt remove the doggo from the last few shots.... and like always an awesome video guys :)
We love them doggos!
That tyres they are taking away the good impression on design
7:16 the doggy approves !
I know this is old video but believe me in 2018 version of this bike blow your mind.
I was thinking why is this looking so ordinary
That baby NS looks cool
We call this the Kawasaki/Bajaj Rouser in the Philippines.
That Doggo in the end though... 😍😍😁😁
Doggos and other animals always have a special place at PowerDrift! :D
I think the 200NS would be a better choice over this at it has fatter tyres , more power, rear disc :)
Happy Independence day :)
Aditya 46 you forgot Liquid cooled engine.
All that comes at an additional cost too. So this might be a good deal for someone with a tight budget might
PowerDrift yup that's true, but 200ns is more fun to ride bike✌🏻
Wow it was beautiful to see the blue original Pulsar.. The naked beauty that still looks so eye catching!
By the way the brand Pulsar is 16yrs old now and not 18..
Love it or hate it but no one can deny the fact that pulsar started it all all good bikes we have today is because pulsar changed the kitna deti he mind set & started performance sports & rest is history
Good point there. The Pulsars truly changed the game.
At last...!!!
I'm not planning for buying automotive but I'm here for you.
Grt review.!
Here for the love of all things automotive eh? ;)
1:37 corrosion in the chain!!!!
That doggo in the end..
#Man'sBestFriend :P
Dear Powerdrift, Can You Guys Make A Review/Comparison Video On Bajaj Pulsar NS160 V/s TVS Apache RTR 160/Suzuki Gixxer/Honda Hornet 160
Turning radius??? Engine heating?? Head lamp upper beam alignment?? Fuel indicator???Pls let me know if there is any engine heating issue, gear shifting problem ?? Rare tyre skidding or not?? Chain noise?? Hard clutch? Stiff suspension??
Please review Apache RTR 160, atleast give your thoughts about it like a first ride video...
There is no video about it...
Would love to hear from you.
As soon as we can get our hands on the media bike. :)
the one who films all this stuff

Hey thank you Sumit. Much love from the team to you.
That dog was a neat inclusion..
Well, he wanted a cameo and we couldn't say no. :)
PowerDrift, try to do video of gixxer sf abs variant and also please let me know if the abs can be fitted to existing gixxer sf bikes?
Hey there Navaneeth, we shall tell you more about the Gixxer SF ABS once we get our hands on the media bike. About retrofitting the ABS unit, an authorised service centre should be able to help you with that.
PowerDrift Thanks for the reply bro! 😊
Dont miss ur leg days u ll become ns160 instead on ns200 #pdarmy
Haha! Someone is a gym addict! :P
PowerDrift not mch... #bigfan #pdarmy
No one can beat hornet's road presence ,looks, refinement, braking, cool factor, brand trust etc
Happy Independence Day folks.. nice presentation varun.. I hope u make a review on gixxer sf abs variant..
Happy Independence Day Manoj!
We shall have the review of the Gixxer SF ABS as soon as we get the media bike. :)
Is the new updated twin disc version ok for occasional weekend rides of 200-300kms ?? Was considering NS200 but mileage will be a issue as I have daily commute of around 50-60 km.. Please Suggest.
Hi, thanks for the review... Actually I am planning to buy pulsar ns 160... This is my first bike... So is this good to buy... I am looking for longer durability with good performance....
You can surely go ahead with this.
Longer durability.dont think so
Varun painter has good presentation skills Well done Varun....
PD, any news about Apache 310rr launch date?
It's expected to be launched soon.
Hi PowerDrift , can u tell me about telescopic and rear suspension size of Pulsar NS160 and Suzuki gixxer?? And can u tell me about millege of pulsar NS160 and suzuki gixxer and FZ 2.0??
why pulsur 160ns not seen on roads as compared to gixxers and hornet although its been a long time since its launch
.Is it Worth buying pulsur 160ns??
I have ridden an apache 160(not 4v) and the surface of my feet does not fully touch the ground , will this be good or worse ? Please help me to choose the best 160cc motorcycle considering my height ....thanks!
If you have a hard time balancing the bike while stopped, you might want to look at other options.
PowerDrift Man I want something from this 160cc segment, what do you think will be suitable??
@@subodhjana9417 gixxer
Seems like our Sagar sir is not much into commuters segment, but good job Varun.. keep it up, nice review :)
Ns 200 😘😘😘
Those cinematic shots ❣️❣️
This thing kills the exclusiveness of NS. I guess the NS 200 sales will drop. Bajaj always messes with sales of NS 200.
Nicely done varun!😁🙌 its an exciting proposition, but I don't think the gearbox could be as smooth as the gixxers, so I would definitely choose the gixxer over this all day, nothing exciting brought the table as often bajaj do with the pulsar range, a bit disappointed
veeresh sangolli Its Better than gixxer gearbox see other reviews
Please update dual disc .... video
Still remember the first 200ns review from the power to the rider.....sarge, ten, satyen, the guy in blue.....and the yellow 200ns my first crush
Aye! A long way since then!
Plz tell me ns160 or rtr 160 4v
Anonymous Devil thank u but what the reason ....,?
Anonymous Devil Fi or carb plz
which one is better ns160 or hornet 160 for rough and tough riding ????....
We sense an opportunity for a new video here, Alomgir ! Stay tuned !
please .make detail review of ns 160 dual disc 2018 varrient
Much waited review😍😘but missing 0-100 acceleration nd exhaust note😞....anyways Happy Independence day guys✌️#PowerDrift
I have ns 160 with 45 milege on average
Considering it competes with Apache 160, Gixxer and Hornet, Bajaj should have provided rear disc as an option from day one. For that matter, even P180 gets it now.
Swapnil B yes.. i also want rear disc in 160ns...
Rear disk is optional same as Apache. There is a space provided for that. pay 2k extra they will install rear disk. u can ask the dealer/mechanic. none of them review about that optional rear disk poor TH-cam channels.
Raghavendra Raghu Has the company officially said so? No, right? So don't even bother.
+Swapnil B Yes, they have said. you can see the space for rear disk. go check it... ✌
Is this applicable for short rider like 5.3 to 5.4 feet height
You can ride it but your feets will tip toe on the bike...
I always love your camera works
Thank you comrade.
5k aur add kr ke 220 le lo Jo already ek beast hai
aviral singh true
Great job bajaj and thumbs up for the review powerdrift!!!
Anyway, what can you say about engine vibration and overheating, is it true issue?compared to gixxer 155 which is preferable?
Thanks and God bless!!!
Well u do know to make & edit interesting videos
Please consider reviewing the gixxer sf ABS
We shall try for that comrade.
Can you please do a video of 2018 apache 160 4v
We are just waiting for the media bike, comrade.
PowerDrift do the same good and bad for NS200
Hi PowerDrift, can u tell me about telescopic and rear suspension size of Pulsar NS160 and Suzuki gixxer?? And can u tell me about millege of pulsar NS160 and suzuki gixxer and FZ 2.0??
Slim tyres make it look ugly and more like splendor
Syed Qaiser Abbas but it is fastest
Thank you so much for making this video loved it and how did you find the classic pulsar in such an amazing condition and the riding gear looks amazing too
Hey welcome Suyash! That is a special bike kept for very special occasions.
PowerDrift thank you for replying and i think you guys must be having more bikes for the special occasion
Minor clarification, that's not our bike! :)
What's the actual milage of this bike??
45 50Km
I loved the tail section, was that after market on this bike ?
This is a completely stock bike. :D
All, I am facing huge problem while riding in wind, the bike really losses it's stability due to wind & I need to slow down to 30 Km/h.. else the bike swings like anything due to wind... pls. Let me know how to avoid the vehicle swinging...!
Happy independence day folks!from #pdarmry
gym junkie who misses leg day :D
Best reviewed.. helped me a lot...can u tell me from where I can download the background score played between 4:18 to 6:00..
A bike being squeezed into a segment that does not exist. 150cc segment at present belongs to average commuters. 150cc is the new 130cc. They desire decent looks, comfort, good mileage and cheap servicing cost. With such sporty looks, mono shock suspension and tall height, I wonder who would want to buy this bike.
Sidenote : Regular pulsar 150 is already perfect. It does not need replacement.
Is it still worth it to wait for new R15 or should i go for other options ??
indian dota save money buy SF abs fi ..later add rear set footpeg&clipons
issue is with the tight clutch, bad rear breaks the tyre seems to lock up and R15 is just 15 k-20k more that gixxer
thts why m thinking of the R15 bahut jada refined hai R15
indian dota v3 coming soon
Ns 160 looks like bicycle from back
Ankit Patel 😂 you took my words
Just a small suggestion, since the audio was a bit too windy while riding, the speech could have been later dubbed in.
Anyway still a great job on the review as always :)
Is ns 160 capable with a person having a height of 5.6"???
Yes i think it is capable because I'm exactly 5.6 and I have the same bike
No
How was the break ...is it safe in traffic jam or high speed?
O Gangaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Pretty good review Powedrift. Now where is "the good and the bad" video for the TVS apache RTR 200 and Yamaha FZ25?
A comparo perhaps??
Varun Painter yeah but don't neglect the former either 😉
Bhai pulsar 160 is suitable for skiny boys
That's all about bike
but I liked the cameo of the dog at the end,,.
Gixxer still the king of segment.
precise and to the point while maintaining the overall visual appearance of the video.. this is why i love PD!
Thank you so much Alok!
seems like, "this is too little n too late".
If the price is not an issue...!!
What will be your pick..!
New Gixxer with single channel ABS or NS160??
Himalay Panchal If u have that budget check ns 200 or apache 200 4v apache has abs
Tech2Techy how about comfort on Apache? I've seen Apache 180 with ABS and not the 200RV. Also there's no Fuel Injected variant with Apache and NS200. Does NS200 has ABS?
Apache vibrates like mixer grinder and not liked the quality My friends apache front disc jammed and he falled really bad with a stoppie suddenly.
I don't know how he is safe now It can even take life go for pulsar or apache 200 its better built
and apache 160 & 180 have 10 years old engine technology with no change only a facelift
For comfort take test ride
