    160cc bike for frugal guy

    Hey xBhpians,
    I Need to buy a 150-160cc bike with overall low cost of ownership (fuel + maintenance) and high durability.
    Budget is around 1.20 lakhs on road
    Look+Cost of ownership is priority

    If it has fuel injection it would be great. Power is no problem as I ride at 40-50 km/h.

    I am considering:

    1.Bajaj Avenger 160 ABS Street - I heard parts are not readily after 5-7 years. Saw it in a YouTube comment by an Avenger 150 owner.
    2.Honda Hornet - Heard it has good mileage but high cost of maintenance.
    3.TVS apache 160 4V - Heard about high maintenance and low mileage reported by users.
    4.FZ v3 FI - I heard Fuel Injection is future, but this bike's build quality is not that great and it's high maintenance cost.
    5.Access 125 - Do you think it will make me look poor? and Is maintainence cost of this scooter is more than typical 160cc bike
    Please Guide me

      I have 2018 hornet and maintenance is cheapest, it costs 300 rupees for free servicing . You can try xblade/ Hornet both are good bikes with strong build quality and smooth engine.

        My Brother Has one,
        I Think the fiber part on Fuel tank and near tail lamp looks old.. any solution for that?
        I Loved plain color of Older hornets,
        With new Graphics it looks kinda Childish/Youthful...I want this for Official Purposes,
        Btw brother thanks for suggesting it,
        Strongly considering this beast [emoji109]

          Check out Hero xpulse 200T. The seating and handle bar position is very relaxed.

            Hey Krishna Mileage is low on it ,
            I ride at 40-50 kmph only,200cc would be overpowered for that

              Honda XBlade is a frugal, stylish and reliable machine. Take test ride and decide.
