YouTube review comments6,000 kmAugust 2019
As an owner who rode the bike for 6k km , My observations are:
1. It has got the best in class performance .
Low range and mid range power is linear but at the high end it feels you are riding a 200cc bike.It can easily climb to 100 in no time compared to other bikes in the segment.
2. Engine is way refined than any other bike in the segment . Only slight buzz in the top end is felt .
3. Riding position is little on the sportier side , not totally upright riding posture due to lower handlebars .Footpegs are little higher than any other bike . But touring can be done with proper gloves .Cruising speed is around 80-85kmph.
3. Clutch is very light and good in traffic.
4. Gearbox is too soft and can be easily shifted . I sometimes come across false nuetrals but manageable.
5 . RTR 200 and 160 have different sounds.
RTR 200 consist of very grunty sound in low rev as well as high revs. RTR 160 consist of sweet sound , but very sporty sound at high revs.
5. Seating comfort is average for both rider and pillion it's much better in 200.
6. Mileage : 43-45 in city .48-50 in highways.
7. Handling is best and light to maneuver.
8. Instrument console is best in class only missing side stand indicator.
9. Service interval is 3k km and service cost is around 800-1000Rs.
10. Top speed I have achieved is 115 kmph but I know people who clocked 120kmph easily .
11. Front suspension is soft good for Indian roads but rear suspension is stiff but good for cornering .
Improvements I would suggest: slipper clutch , braking yet to improve, headlight illumination is poor.
But overall I think it's the best bike in 160cc for city riding and short touring😊
