Unsurprisingly, the TVS Apache range has tallied the highest sales in this segment. Please note the series here includes the TVS Apache RTR 160, Apache RTR 160 4V, Apache RTR 180 and the Apache RTR 200 4V. The overall year-on-year (YoY) sales for the Apache series too, has gone up by a healthy 11.13 percent. In a surprising turn of events, the Honda Unicorn has beaten the Pulsar series to clinch the second spot and even managed to register an incredible 94 percent YoY growth.
This is particularly surprising considering that the age-old Unicorn has beaten the Pulsar range, which recently witnessed the launch of an all-new Pulsar P150. Additionally, the Pulsar series in this list also includes the Pulsar P150, Pulsar 150, Pulsar N160, Pulsar NS160, Pulsar NS200 and the Pulsar RS200. What will make Bajaj happy is the fact that these bikes combined to register a massive 220 percent YoY increase in sales. But you know what could make Bajaj even happier? February and March 2023, because of the return of a particular iconic Bajaj bike. This is the one we’re talking about.

After the Pulsar, came the two sportiest Yamaha bikes we have in India. The MT-15 V2.0 came fourth by selling 8,738 units. Now yes, the fact that only 17 bikes were sold in January 2022 does stand out here, but only 80 units of the streetfighter were manufactured and 160 were imported, hinting at an inventory clearance as the updated bike was launched a few months later. The R15 series, consisting of the R15S and the R15 V4, sold a total of 7,925 units. The MT-15’s dual-channel ABS and the R15’s new TFT console should help improve both the bikes’ sales in the coming months. What's most interesting is that there are no Gixxers on this list.

- Blend of both style and practicalityRTR 180 and 160 2V both may not feel so comfortable at first and it require some time to get used to over long urban commutes. Good for touring as well, best with speeds upto 80-90 kmph and vibrates a lot after that. Decent mileage. Easy on pocket ownership cost. Became more affordable post GST 2.0. Go for it if you are looking for a motorcycle that is simple yet sporty.Read More
- Good bike for youngstersGood handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.Read More
- Driven by single person onlyBike's performance is an excellent, powerful pickup, starts easily, one handed used only, driven 7700 km only within 3 and half years. Overall experience is memorable, sound is normal, highway experience is totally amazing, driving R15S vs other bikes is totally different, average can be maintained if we drive well.Read More
- Yamaha r15 v4 is a great fully faired sports bikeThe reason i chose this bike was quite a story in short, i was a student who was about get in college and i needed a bike to travel a quite moderate distance. When i was searching for a bike which is highly affordable as well as stylish on the looks and has great features too! Then i came across this masterpiece which was totally worth it. The ride is great so far. But there are few factors to look for if a beginner is going to buy this bike, as a fully fair bike the biggest issue would be comfort on long ride eg. Posture issue because of the aggressive stance fully fair bikes usually have. But for the short to moderate distance its great soo far. And handling also good, and mileage is better than expected. One more thing to consider, if someone lives in a crowded city like area they can this as this bike isn't a street fighter or naked body bike for city specific conditions. I would absolutely recommend this bike to even a beginner who want to get a thrilling ride experience of a fully fair bike at price rang as low as this, mileage also great compared to other similar bikes, great handling too, maintenance is also fairly rated i would say, totally worth it!Read More
