Pros Cons of Yamaha FZ-X

Pros

  • Comfortable city bike
  • Decent road presence
  • Connected features

Cons

  • Overall quality 
  • Minor vibrations at high speeds
  • Poor feedback on brake levers

Verdict

It's a design, which, in a way, feels incomplete, rather than being generally attractive. That is its biggest weakness, and to us, the FZ-X comes across as a well-rounded package, but still doesn't quite cut it as being "special," like the first Yamaha FZ-16 did, more than a decade ago. The Yamaha FZ-X offers an interesting proposition. The idea is great, and will probably start the first of the crossovers in the 150-200 cc segment.

Pros Cons Bajaj Pulsar NS160

Pros

  • Sporty design
  • Peppy engine
  • Good performance

Cons

  • Stiff ride
  • Less variants
  • Plastics quality

Verdict

If you take into account the capable engine, good safety features, stylish appearance and look, comfortable riding experience and overall brand value, this bike does prove to be a value proposition. It is one of the best options for buyers in this segment. The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is a good bike to own, particularly for those seeking the sporty feeling of a roadster and a compelling exhaust and engine note without burning a hole in their pockets.Stiff ride
