If you are looking to get yourself a new bike to ride to college, here are 5 picks you can’t go wrong with.

The Yamaha R15 gets a reliable 155cc liquid-cooled engine, cruises comfortably at 90-100kmph, and still returns around 55kmpl mileage.

The sporty, evergreen design is inspired by bigger R-family bikes, and for features it gets dual-channel ABS, traction control, a slipper clutch, and a quickshifter, all at a budget-friendly price.

Hero Xpulse 210 looks tall and sleek, and attractive colours make it stand out and make it a great option to start your off-road journey.

Powered by a 210cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, it makes city riding easy but feels slightly underwhelming on the highways.

Bajaj Pulsar NS200 has a strong sporty persona but not an overly committed riding posture, making it a youthful and comfortable option for long rides.

Its 199cc liquid-cooled engine feels quick, and flickable handling makes traffic filtering effortless. It offers a great balance of performance, comfort and cool looks.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 offers cool retro looks, attractive youthful colour options and predictable power delivery.

Yamaha XSR 155 is another neo-retro option which provides more features like traction control and a fully digital LCD console with mobile connectivity and is easier to manage in traffic than the Hunter 350.
