Pros Cons of Honda SP 160
Pros
- Sporty design with premium features like LED headlamp and petal discs
- Comfortable ergonomics, suitable for long rides with a well-cushioned seat
- Reliable 162 cc engine from the Unicorn with good fuel efficiency and OBD-II compliance
Cons
- Power figures are not class-leading, limiting performance appeal
- Lower ground clearance (177 mm) compared to the Unicorn might affect rough-road capability
- Priced at a premium over its sibling, the Unicorn
Verdict
The Honda SP160 blends sporty styling with the trusted performance of the Unicorn’s engine, making it a well-rounded commuter motorcycle. While its power output may not outshine competitors, its comfortable ergonomics, modern design, and added features justify the price premium. For riders seeking a sportier alternative to the Unicorn with reliable performance, the SP160 is a solid choice in the 150-160 cc segment.
Pros Cons TVS Apache RTR 160
Pros
- Offers a fun and peppy ride with three riding modes: Rain, Urban, and Sport
- Lightweight at 138 kg, providing agile handling and easy maneuverability in city traffic
- Fully digital instrument cluster with SmartXonnect system and Bluetooth connectivity for modern features like navigation
Cons
- Engine shows its age, with vibrations setting in after 80 kmph
- Ride quality feels too soft, and the front suspension bottoms out over sharp bumps
- Ergonomics may feel cramped for taller and heavy-set riders, limiting comfort on longer rides
Verdict
The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V remains a fun and agile motorcycle, especially in urban settings, with a peppy engine and lightweight frame. However, the engine’s age shows with noticeable vibrations at higher speeds, and its softer suspension affects ride quality on rough roads. While it’s still a good option for those looking for a simple, no-nonsense ride, the marginal price difference with the more advanced Apache RTR 160 4V makes the latter a better choice in this segment.
