The GS 160 was developed from the new 125cc VNA model of 1958 in much the same way that the GS 150 evolved from earlier 125 models. Consequently there are almost no common parts between the old and new GS other than the headset and the horn. Whilst the engine design was clearly derived from that of the 1958 model 125 with the bearer and crankcase cast as one unit it was stronger and larger. The new engine was designed with future capacity increases in mind and was the basis for the power unit for the P200E. Having said that it was not a rotary valve unit in its GS application – a little surprising since the 150cc VBA model (introduced two years earlier) had a rotary valve engine.
