THE BAJAJ PULSAR NEEDS NO introduction but with the launch of the N160, the manufacturer now has as many as nine Pulsars listed on their website. In such an extensive catalogue, the Pulsar N160 slots right into the space between the Pulsar 150 and the NS160. By Bajaj's own admission, the N160 is an "entrysport" model from the third generation of Pulsars and we were invited to take it for a spin. Here's how that went.
If one is familiar with the Pulsar N250, then the N160 has very little to offer in terms of fresh styling. The lean, mean, aggressive looks of the biggest Pulsars yet has been almost identically replicated in the N160. In fact, the only major difference on that front is the silencer. While the N250 has a stubby end-can, this one employs an under-belly unit. It does give the right-hand side of the motorcycle a neat and tidy aesthetic, but I feel the spout protruding from under the silencer cover could have been integrated better. But that is just me nit-picking on an otherwise attractive overall design. Bajaj have also retained all of the LED lighting from the N250 which is a commendable approach at giving the consumer more value for their money by not compromising on premium features.
