Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 vs Yamaha FZ FI Design Review
While both these models are street naked, there are some clear differences in the way these two models look. No doubt, both the models have a bold and a muscular design, but it is the FZ FI that feels muscular. In comparison, the Pulsar NS 160 looks sleeker and sharper. Both the bikes get stylish alloys, but thanks to a rather fat tyre, it’s the FZ’s footwear that impresses more. Also, bits like the X-motif taillight further help make the FZ look brawnier. The NS 160 isn’t a bad looking bike, no, not at all. It resembles the NS 200 to a great extent, but that means there’s nothing fresh about the design. In comparison, the FZ manages to look fresher and a lot more muscular. In comparison to the semi-digital speedo console on the NS 160, the FZ offers a full-digital unit.
