Top 5 Most Desirable Bikes In India
Ultimate? We're not sure. Questionable? Yes. It's not about the cost, and it's not about performance. It's all about the desire to own.
Riding a bike is like therapy, it's an exercise, and it's a sport. And probably more. But the five most desirable bikes bring more to the road, and to us. They make riding more fun, accessible, pleasurable and more advanced than their predecessors.
Some of the bikes on this list are expensive and don't sell that much, while some don't cost much, but are sold in significant volumes.
Here is our earnest attempt to list the top 5 most desirable bikes in India.
KTM Duke 390
