That is why we have brought you a list of bikes that anyone can handle with ease, especially women. Moreover, if you wish to improve your riding skills or even go touring, some of these bikes are perfectly capable of supporting those dreams as well.
Yamaha MT 15
Starting Price: Rs 1,58,200
If most of your riding will be in the city, and if you are looking for sporty performance, a reliable engine, and stylish looks, the Yamaha MT-15 is a great option. It comes with the same 155cc liquid-cooled engine as Yamaha R15, which is well known for its peppy performance without compromising on reliability.
Although its seat height is 810mm, which may feel slightly tall for girls who are 5’5” or shorter, the low 141kg kerb weight makes it easier to handle at low speeds. The light weight and the wide handlebars also help with quickly changing directions. As a result, commuting in the city feels easy and manageable. Not only its performance, the bike also stands out with its modern and sleek design, ensuring good road presence. Here is how the Yamaha MT-15 competes with the KTM 160 Duke in terms of the features.
KTM 160 Duke
Starting Price: Rs 1,70,545
KTM and excitement go hand in hand. If you are also looking for thrilling performance, the KTM 160 Duke is a great option. It comes with a 164.2cc liquid-cooled engine that makes the bike feel quick and responsive. The motorcycle feels nimble enough for commutes, and also turns weekend rides into a fun experience. Its 815mm seat height may be a bit on the taller side, but the fairly light kerb weight makes it easy to manage in traffic.
Its sharp design looks the part of bigger Dukes, and KTM’s signature orange color easily grabs attention. It also comes with switchable dual-channel ABS, allowing you to push your skills but with added control. Planning to get the KTM 160 Duke on loan? Check out our detailed EMI buying guide.

User Reviews
Overall the bike is great for both city and highway rides as I stand 6.2 ft at 88 kg and it quite nimble as well as the weight distribution is very good with great torque and power figures. It’s a comfortable bike but the rear suspension is a bit stiff which can easily be resolved by replacing it with the classic Nitrox ones and it’s decently priced as well. However the biggest cons I found was the front led headlight which is honestly pathetic and the unreliable fuel tank indicator.Read More
My first preference is short height bike because it's easy to handle it plus maintenance was so reliable. As per compare to the other with the same segment Hunter is far better then others. I really love to ride royal enfield bikes. For the city riding you love it like handling was very amazing plus throttle response is very amazing. For the lobby route you can adjust your seat or add some cusion over the seat or buy the new seat. For the city purpose you can buy this bike only. As I have a classic 350 and metor. l really like to ride hunter only because that machine is more powerfull as compared to other RE machine like the engine sound and silencer sound without changing any parts it shows the old version one.

For my inter state rides as I currently live in Ranchi but my home city is Chaibasa so I have to travel between these city a lot and this bike feels best when I ride for a longer distance. The major reason was the height of the bike, as I am 6.1 ft 24M, it is the best height bike for me. As I can feel that this bike is not for daily commuters as it is quite big for the Indian roads but the whole seen changes when you ride it on highways. I feel confident while riding this, one of my cousin have RE Himalayan and when compared to it, this bike feel more agile and is more practical. I would recommend this bike to only those who wants to have a best all rounder bike as it has best in the market technical specs, (even I have not fully explored all the modes of the bike thus far), it feels confident to ride on in many situations. And to top it all off, it has best engine as both BMW and TVS came together in this. Read More
