If you are looking for the most bang for your buck when buying your next bike this Diwali, we have you covered. These 5 bikes are some of the most value-for-money bikes in India.
Bajaj Pulsar N160SS
Rs 1,33,511 - Rs 1,42,585 (ex-showroom, Delhi)
The Bajaj Pulsar N160SS is a bike which has struck a great balance between everyday comfort and sporty performance. It has a youthful and sharp design. In terms of features, the SS variant gets a TFT display, Google Maps mirroring, Crawl Technology, traction control and dual-channel ABS. The bike gets power from a new 164.5 cc, 4-valve engine producing 18.5 PS and 14.4 Nm, making it the most powerful motorcycle in its segment. If you are looking for a well-equipped, powerful, and good-looking 160cc bike, the Pulsar N160SS is definitely a strong contender.
KTM 390 Adventure
Rs 2,89,080 (ex-showroom, Delhi)
The KTM 390 Adventure has been a popular choice among adventure lovers due to its sleek design, loaded feature list and a powerful engine. And with the new 350 cc engine, the bike offers the same convenience features and agile handling at an attractive price point. This new 349.3 cc liquid-cooled engine produces 41.5 PS and 33.5 Nm, giving it a rev-happy nature. On the feature front the bike has a 5-inch TFT console, a bidirectional quickshifter, switchable dual-channel ABS, switchable traction control, and cruise control. It’s a road-biased ADV, and can make for a great one-bike garage.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 440
Rs 2,29,900 (ex-showroom, Chennai)
The Royal Enfield has brought the iconic Himalayan back with more features, more power and revised looks. The Himalayan 440 shares the 443 cc engine with the Scram 440, which makes 25 PS and 34 Nm. Although the feature list remains rather simple with a semi-digital cluster and tripper pod, it looks neater and more modern than the 411’s console (sadly, the compass is also gone).
The Himalayan 440 is around Rs 79,000 more affordable than the Himalayan 450. It’s definitely a bike worth checking out if you have always wanted the OG Himalayan or a rather no-nonsense ADV with decent power and a do-it-all nature.
Yamaha YZF-R2
Rs 2,30,500 - Rs 2,53,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi)
The Yamaha R2 is a sporty motorcycle with fantastic handling. The bike looks track-focused with a fully faired, sharp body and weighs just 149 kg kerb. Powering it is an all-new 204 cc liquid-cooled engine making 26.5 PS and 19.1 Nm. With features like three riding modes, a 5-inch TFT console, switchable traction control and dual-channel ABS completes the package. This sportsbike is perfect to take out on tracks, highway rides or for your daily commutes. The R2 can be a great option if you want a sport bike with a good set of features and performance without spending a lot of money.
