Both Japanese 150-160cc commuters are refined, comfortable and should last for a long time.
I want to buy a new 160cc bike that is comfortable and offers good mileage. Which bike will you suggest? I need a good engine for long-term use.

Autocar India says: Given your priorities of comfort, fuel efficiency, and reliability, we suggest you look at options from Honda and Yamaha. From Honda, the Unicorn or the SP160 will meet your needs well, with the SP bringing in some more style over the Unicorn. If you want something bigger looking, you can consider the Yamaha FZ FI, which looks like a sporty bike but has a very frugal engine.
There are other options in the 160cc space that offer much more exciting style and performance, such as the Bajaj Pulsar N160 or the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. Both bikes are easy to recommend, but they will not be as fuel-efficient as the Honda and Yamaha.
