Having a right sports bike would be a dream in this current two wheeler market, but that is exactly what you want and get too. It is not as easy as you think though, because you have to make some quite tough choices when it comes to choosing the right bike
Getting to buy a sports bike is every man’s dream. Everyone wishes to have a sporty bike to zip through traffic or vroom that engine to get heads turning. Well, with the progress made in the biking segment in India, there are plenty of bikes that are available in the market that can give you just that. The right sports bike would be a dream in this current market, but that is exactly what you want and get too. It is not as easy as you think though, because you have to make some quite tough choices when it comes to choosing the right bike. You want to ensure you have chosen a bike that delivers well on the road and is efficient on your pocket too. So, what would be the top few picks to make in the Indian market today?
Definitely a sporty bike, high on design. Great stability but not the best riding comfort. There is no doubt that the bike is very good looking and does pack a punch on the road with a zippy throttle. Through the engine displacement is not as high as you would want, it does give you a fair bit of power on the road. If you were to choose it among the best in the market today – it would be present but not maybe the best choice. Priced well over 1 Lakh does not help its cause too. Another negative is the fuel efficiency that comes with it. You would be able to find many bikes that are better priced and gives better mileage too.
One of the mainstays of the Indian biking market for a long time, this bike has been an instant hit among-st many. The one problem though has been the evolution of the bike from its initial high. The bike boasted of speed and stability along with a beautiful design. Would you say the same today though? One would say not. The styling has gone wrong according to most experts even though the performance and mileage is right on the button. It makes out to be a wonderful bike on the road and would be an instant crowd puller too. The 223cc engine boasts of plenty of power too.
Never to be left behind, this version of the Pulsar beats everyone else hands down. With an amazing body and great dynamics, it is the top sports bike in India, not only does it completes the job on the road but is very healthy on the wallet too. Churning out a good amount of power at a cut rate mileage helps too. If you had to pick a bike from the Bajaj stable today that is most wanted – this would be the one. No doubt about the way it performs on the road, it is a beast of a vehicle. You would not only have superior performance on the road but have the best sports bike in the country too
