We Indians, before buying a bike, we lookout for a few things like styling, features, comfort, price, and most importantly, mileage.

So if you are someone looking out to get all those boxes ticked, then today we bring to you the Top 5 affordable 150-160cc bikes in India. Let's quickly have a look! Below mentioned prices are ex-showroom (Mumbai).

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 has been one of the oldest offerings in the country. The motorcycle gets a muscular and conventional design. It is available in four variants and twelve different colour options. Being an entry-level bike, it has limited features on offer like LED taillight, single-channel ABS, dual disc brakes and a semi-digital instrument cluster. It's powered by a 149.5cc single-cylinder air-cooled DTSI (Digital Twin Spark Ignition) engine that churns out 13.8bhp at 8,500rpm and 13.25Nm at 6,500rpm. All this power and torque is taken to its wheels via a five-speed gearbox.

2. Yamaha FZ FI: Rs 1,04,439

The second 150cc offering here comes from Yamaha. The FZ FI contributes a major part of sales in the entire Yamaha lineup. The motorcycle is available in two colours and a standard variant.

There's also a FZS FI model on offer, which gets seven different colours and a few cosmetic add-ons over the FZ FI. 

3. Honda Unicorn: Rs 99,017

Moving to the 160cc segment, the Honda Unicorn is the most affordable offering. The bike gets a sleek commuter-ish look complemented by a few chrome inserts. In terms of features, it's the least equipped motorcycle, and Honda should consider giving it an update. It is available in a standard variant and has three colours on offer. Powering the Unicorn is a 162.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that produces 12.73bhp at 7,500rpm and 14Nm at 5,500rpm. The bike rides on 18-inch wheels and employs a 240mm disc brake at the front.

It further comes equipped with features like a semi-digital instrument cluster, LED taillight and Glide through technology (GTT). At its heart sits a 159.7cc air-cooled engine that churns out 15.31bhp at 8,400rpm and 13.9Nm at 7,000rpm. Meanwhile, for braking, it employs a 270mm wavy disc at the front and a 130mm drum at the rear assisted by single-channel ABS.

5. Bajaj Avenger Street 160: Rs 1,01,376
