Best Bikes in India

‘Most affordable motorcycle in India’ that sure is a bragging point for Bajaj with the CT100. Bajaj reintroduced the CT100 in the Indian market as an entry-level commuter motorcycle some time ago.

The Bullet 350 is now available in two different options, one with original old school Royal Enfield badging without a disc brake and electric start. And one with new colour schemes and the electric start and the disc brake, which was branded as the Electra earlier. Over the years, the Bullet has evolved and still stayed true to its essence of being an old-school cruiser.

The Jupiter is an 110cc scooter from TVS, positioned above the Wego. The country’s second best-selling scooter after the Activa, the Jupiter has been primarily targeted towards men, women also seem to buy it alot.

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 has been the Pune-based automaker’s main seller for the last 10 years and has changed Bajaj’s fortunes since its debut. Launched in November 2001, the Bajaj Pulsar and its larger twin were a revelation for the Indian market which until that time had been populated with commuter motorcycles and the single player called the Hero Honda CBZ in the 150cc segment. Its advanced styling and many modern features further fuelled the demand for premium commuters and set the bike on a course for the history books.

The CB Hornet 160R is Honda’s answer to the Yamaha FZ Fi and the Suzuki Gixxer. Based on the CB Unicorn 160, the CB Hornet 160R is a stylish offering from the Japanese manufacturer.

The Hero HF Deluxe is an entry-level bike from Hero MotoCorp with attractive features. It is said to be one of the best 100cc bikes available in India with an affordable price tag. The Hero CD Deluxe was re-branded to Hero HF Deluxe after Hero ended its joint venture with Honda in 2010.

TVS Motors launched the Apache brand in India in 2007 and the Apache RTR 160 is the first bike from the Apache series that was introduced in the Indian market. Today three variants namely Apache RTR 160 Hyper edge, Apache RTR 180 and Apache RTR 180 ABS are available.

The CB Shine is a 125cc commuter motorcycle developed by Honda for the mass market segment. The Shine caters to a segment of buyers who are ok with understated looks but expect respectable performance and efficiency. This coupled with Honda’s refinement and reliability makes the Shine a solid all round package.

The Classic 350 is the unsung hero of the Royal Enfield range: other models like the Thunderbird, the Classic 500 and Himalayan grab the headlines because of their many features, but it is the Classic 350 that makes up the numbers for the Chennai-based two-wheeler manufacturer. Its retro styling combined with the relatively affordable price tag have made it the highest-selling RE model so far.

The Honda Activa revolutionised the way we look at scooters when it was first launched in 2000, making them accessible to a wide range of audience. The Activa 4G, as the name suggests is the fourth generation model of the 109cc unisex scooter. It was upgraded in March 2017 with auto headlamp on (AHO) feature and a BS IV-compliant powertrain.
