The bike insurance plans applicable for a Bajaj Pulsar NS160 are a Third-party Bike Insurance Plan and Comprehensive Bike Insurance Plan. As per The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988, every bike owner must buy and carry Third-party Bike Insurance while riding on Indian roads.

A Comprehensive Bike Insurance Plan offers broader coverage. It provides Own Damage (OD) cover and also financial protection against third party liabilities. Under OD cover, you will be financially protected against accidental damages, theft and damages/loss resulting from natural or man-made calamities.
