Top 11 Bikes  Put Together Like a Championship Cricket Lineup

The Kawasaki Ninja H2R is the most powerful production bike on sale in India at present and churns out in excess of 300 bhp. The bike is not street-legal and is meant only for the racetrack. Powered by a 998 cc in-line four-cylinder engine, the motor comes with a supercharger. The motor manages to belt out 308 bhp in stock form, which can be further increased to 321 bhp with the Ram Air intake. Peak torque output stands at 165 Nm available at 12,500 rpm. It is an absolute object of desire.

The Honda CB650R has a superb inline four-cylinder engine which is tractable and will hold low speeds in a high gear. At higher revs there's enough performance to keep you entertained, although the lack of features and electronics is a let down. With a steep price tag, the Honda CB650R though fails to make for a convincing case.

The F77 certainly has created a new benchmark in the electric motorcycle segment in India, and if this is the beginning, the future certainly looks very promising. The F77 is just the first model from Ultraviolette Automotive’s new platform, and going forward there will be more models.if you look at a slightly longer-term ownership, compared to fuel and maintenance costs of a petrol-powered rival, the Ultraviolette F77 starts making sense, even with the initial premium acquisition price.

As A big, bulky adventure bike may not appeal to everyone. But then, it may be just the bike with all-round versatility that many riders seek, even those who have had considerable experience with sportier machines. The GS has a reputation as being one of the most versatile motorcycles which can be used for both two-up touring with luggage as well as for adventures. And it's not difficult to understand why it has been so popular and has been one of the bestselling adventure bikes worldwide.

Possibly the most recognisable and popular product in the market currently, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V is the most affordable entry-level ADV. Out of the numerous positives, the motorycle has possibly the most refined engine in the segment, with superior ergonomics aiding young riders as well as seasoned riders. But, the cons are equally worrying as better set of brakes, and a lower seat would've helped. Plus the lack of top-end torque doesn't really work in the case of an ADV.

The Scram 411 not just extends the Himalayan family, but also offers a more compact and accessible model, something that has all the qualities to appeal to a diverse range of customers - vibrant colours, compact and more accessible size, and an attractive sticker price. The fact that it does everything quite well that is expected from a bike with the Himalayan name in it, makes the Scram 411 a winner in our books!

The Fat Boy has a unique design and there is a generous dose of chrome and that is not all. It comes with a load full of features too. It features a wide FLH-style handlebar, a textured leather seat insert, custom metal fenders and a shotgun-style dual exhaust system. The Fat Boy is powered by a Twin Cam 103 1690cc engine that produces a generous amount of power and it's a highway cruiser so don't try and tame it by riding it in the city. It's clearly out of place there.

Possibly the best looking motorcycle in the segment, the Yamaha R15's sharp lines and sporty styling has won over many hearts since its launch. The 155 cc engine is best in the segment thanks to the high refinement levels and the wide spread of power and torque available on tap. Yamaha has also made sure that the motorcycle is loaded with safety features that make it a good bet for young or even experienced riders.

With maxi-scooter looks, if it's sheer road presence with some practicality you're looking for, the Burgman Street certainly ticks all the boxes, although it's a good ₹ 9,000-10,000 more expensive than its closest competitors and even its sibling the Suzuki Access 125. If you're looking for a scooter that stands out amidst the sea of automatic scooters on our roads, by all means, take a look at the Suzuki Burgman Street.

The next-generation KTM RC 390 has become more accessible and friendlier so even if you’re upgrading from a smaller bike, the new KTM RC 390 is comfortable to ride. With the new updates, it has become a bike that is more suited for everyday use, and for a minority of users who want to cut their teeth on a racetrack, it still offers a capable and potent track tool. Prices though have gone up by ₹ 36,000, it still makes a very strong case as a performance-oriented and well-equipped sports bike.

The new Ducati Panigale V4 S has that innate quality that makes a 200-plus bhp superbike very accessible and safe around a racetrack. Sure, it's not made for less experienced riders new to litre-class superbikes, and despite the state-of-the-art electronics package, one wrong twist of the wrist can make things go wrong very quickly; after all, all that power and torque over a wide rev range is not to be fooled with, or taken lightly, by any standard.
