The category of bikes beyond the 200 cc segment is one that defines power and superior drivability. There are a number of bikes in this category available in the nation. Among these, a number of models are imported and others are the indigenous products of Indian origin. There are over 50 such models in the run for the most popular bikes in India. However, when the price category is also a matter of interest, there are a number of bikes below the 2 lakhs INR margin.
Probably, the most favourite model in this category is the Royal Enfield Continental GT, which has been a winner all the way from the time of its launch. The cruiser bike segment has been enriched for that matter by the inception of this model. Perfect for cruising at high altitudes and challenging roads, this bike is a primary choice for those who look for power and not only for looks, alone. This does not mean that the looks of this model is a turn-off. You can expect a dexterously-chiselled appearance and ultra-masculine features from this model.
It is almost impossible to ignore the Austrian manufacturer, when it comes to bikes, which resound performance all the way. Additionally, Duke is the model that brought KTM to the limelight. The KTM Duke 390 is a variant that is the flagship model of this brand, as depicted by many. The bike has become extremely popular in the Indian market and is one of the key performers in this segment.
There is definitely a reason when the Indian Army opts for a certain motorbike for incorporating them for border security reasons. The Royal Enfield Bullet is the one that demands respect just by that characteristic olive green tinge. A key performer in this segment, this model has been in use by the military contingent from decades and continues to be so. For the people in the urban areas, the Classic and Thunderbird are variants from similar makes. The sombre engine sound and the immaculate power to weight ratio makes sure that you cruise the roads on these models, be it freeways or the demanding mountain terrains.
