There have been a number of bike launches in 2014, which have been able to impress the enthusiasts and customers, alike. However, Suzuki Gixxer has been awarded as the Bike of the Year by Autocar India and Bloomberg TV. The premium 150 cc challenger bike has been able to impress thousands of bike lovers. The competition in this segment has been increased by a fair margin by the entry of this bike.

The top Premium Bike of the Year was given to Harley Davidson Street 750. The KTM RC 390 was adjudged as the Viewer’s Choice Bike of the Year.
