There was a time almost a decade ago when a motorcycle costing one lakh rupees or more was called ‘kitne ki hai?’ It caused great surprise to those who asked. (How much is this for?). Now though, they have changed from time to time, the Indian motorcycle market has evolved a lot in search of fuel efficiency figures only. Performance, power, speed and handling have taken center stage. And a lot can happen in a budget of Rs 3.5 lakh (ex-showroom) or less. Here we list down five motorcycles on which money can be spent.
