Fear not because we have come up with a list of 5 motorcycles, all of them so versatile that they guarantee to reduce days when you cry over your choice bike from a 365 to 5. Anyways without
wasting any time, here are the top 150cc motorcycles in India:
Honda CB Hornet 160R:

This brings us to the next bike on our list:
Bajaj Pulsar 150:

The plastic used in its construction is fairly cheap and tends to break easily and the engine warms up relatively quicker than other modern-day naked bikes. What works in this bikes favor is a very reliable and durable Engine; parts if broken down, are very easily available in almost any part of our country and the same goes for its service center which is present throughout India. Best in class mileage, cheap maintenance and features like backlit switches, clip-on handlebars, comfortable seats and a pretty good resale value sure does work in bike’s favor.
Yamaha FZ V2.0:

Looks is another department where it scores high because Yamaha made it a definite head turner. The 41mm front forks and the rear monoshock serve their function in the best way possible. It is also Fuel injected so you can expect smooth and crisp power delivery along with a respectable mileage figure. Talking about the things this bike does wrong is that it doesn’t generate enough power and torque. They do feel enough for a city use but when you take it out on the highway, it just takes relatively too long to reach a 100 km/hr.
Suzuki Gixxer:

TVS Apache RTR 160:

In the year 2012, the long-running Apache series got a whole new design. It changed every aesthetic part of the bike including tank, headlight, Engine cowl etc. which enabled better air cooling for the engine and a menacing look. Talking about the accessories, it features a well-detailed Instrument console with a top speed recorder and even a clock.
It also features a rear disc as an option. Apache has the best power to weight ratio in the 150-160 cc segment and thus offers a crude and agile acceleration. If we focus on the crude part then the vibrations after 6500 RPM is the only persistent problem on this bike, that along with rust-prone metal parts and a poor quality chain.
Final Thoughts:
All these bikes offer superb mileage, easy maintenance, awesome value for money, and a lot of versatility. You ride these bikes anywhere, be it on the city road, highway or the curves.awesome value for money, and a lot of versatility.

The bike has a conventional telescopic suspension at front and a Nitrox Mono Shock Absorber with piggy back gas canister at the rear. The only setback of the bike is a tiny fuel tank, which could only contain 10 litres of petrol. This bike is for the budget commuters who look for a normal 125cc, but they could end up buying this, looking at the Shoestring budget set by Bajaj.
2. Hero Achiever

The ignition system on Achiever is called the "AMI - Advanced Microprocessor Ignition System". The engine makes a maximum 13.4 Bhp of power at 8000 rpm and 12.80 Nm of torque at 5000 rpm. The bike has a fuel tank capacity of 12.5 litres. This bike is touted as the cheapest 150cc offering from Hero Motocorp. It looks exactly like every other Hero commuter bike, in spite of having a bit powerful engine in disguise. The bike rides the same way as it's junior commuter siblings, except for the noticeable power difference.
3. Bajaj V15

The designing of the motorcycle looks to be highly inspired from the Italian manufacturer's Moto Guzzi Bellagio. The Baja V 15 retails at INR 61,999 (Ex Showroom Delhi). The 150cc motor of the bike produces 12.0 PS of power at 7500 rpm and 13.0 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm. The bike looks menacing with it's meaty front forks and fat 130 section rear tyre. It attracts customers wanting a visually appealing, yet affordable 150cc motorcycle.
4. Yamaha SZ RR V2.0

The 149cc air-cooled engine is capable of making 12.1 PS of power at 7500 rpm and 12.8 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm. The bike has a higher range since the fuel tank is capable of holding 14.0 litres of fuel. The Yamaha SZ RR V2.0 has a very reliable engine, since it's a downgraded version of the trusted Yamaha FZ16. Customers having a deep faith on the Japanese marquee and it's reliability, yet on a budget are the ones choosing this bike.
5. Honda CB Unicorn 150

The CB Unicorn was one of the very first 150cc motorcycles in India by the year 2005, that also had a Monoshock suspension at the rear, which was an USP during that period. The bike has a tried and tested 149.1cc air-cooled engine which is capable of 13.3 PS of power at 8500 rpm and 12.8 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm. The bike remains the same mechanically, as such when it was discontinued. Customers looking for a trusted motorcycle with high reliability go for it, although the bike is a decade old.
