A quick look at the market now and you can be sure to be a part of the confused lot with so many wonderful options out there
Remember the days when we were so fogged with just one outstanding bike in the market and it was the dream bike for every one of us? Just like when the Pulsar was launched first. It was the dream bike for any youth out there and all we could ask for was a Pulsar 150 or 180 on our birthdays. A quick look at the market now and you can be sure to be a part of the confused lot with so many wonderful options out there. There are plenty to choose from and if you have been looking out for a bike – you must be looking at one too many.
If you are looking for displacement, a sturdy ride and everything that broods machismo with it, this is the bike for you. With a mileage of 35kmpl, you are sure of getting your value of the last buck too. The 23.5bhp does more than good on an Indian road, powering you through to a top end of over 130kmph. Priced at about Rs 85k, it is quite a bargain too. The design and the built is at the best and you can be sure of getting your money’s worth each time you have to give it for a regular service.
The list just had to have this little beast in here. Though it is priced at Rs. 1.6L with a mileage of about 25kmpl, the bike still does give it all on the road. 25bhp pulls you very well on the road and is an instant winner across a top speed of 135kmpl. You are sure to get plenty of heads turning but the only downside is the two wheeler price. It might have been a few thousands south to have been a perfect bike.
Not much that is left to say about a ride that has been this looked out for. It is a brilliant option for Indian roads just because of the comfort factor that comes with it. The street control handlebar gives you so much control on the road, making it one of the easiest to control even in traffic. The DTs-i engine is far better than any other doing the rounds and keep in mind this is an oil cooled engine for optimum performance. The two wheelers price is just under Rs 90k, making it a steal actually. You get all the features of a cruiser with high mileage and power at a price that would not have been imaginable in this segment a year ago. Undoubtedly, the pick of the lot when it comes to choosing a bike.
There are such great options in the market today and that is what makes it so tough for the average buyer. If you had to choose a bike today, you have so many factors to keep in mind – but with a list like this, you have a relatively easy choice.
