What’s happening in the bike world
Before getting into specific models, here are the trends:
- Bigger engine bikes, more power, more torque, are becoming more visible even in India. People want bikes that are not only pretty but perform well.
- Safety features, riding aids, digital displays, better suspension, etc., are no longer exclusive to premium bikes. Even mid-segment bikes are getting some of these.
- Flex-fuel, hybrid tech, and even E85-compatible bikes are being introduced. That means the fuel or energy options are becoming more flexible.

- Check service network: If it’s a premium brand, ensure there’s a good service centre near your city or town.
- Budget for extras: Helmet, riding gear, modifications, fuel, insurance, and regular maintenance. Big bikes will cost more here.
- Wait for launch offers: Sometimes, after the expo, dealers or companies offer discounts, offers, or special finance schemes. Waiting a little could save you money.
