Honda Cub or the R1 probably, even the Ducati Monster. Or even the blade which changed how the game is played in the superbiking when it was first released.

Or even the 1200GS which is synonymous to touring now.

Or even the classic Vespa shape which defined scooters and the Vespa brand for decades.

17.2ex showroom thats abt 21lacs on-road Thane. Ducati 1198 costs 19.10lac on-road Thane. I would not buy a honda at that price however since the comparo is between the bandit and VFR i would buy the bandit any day.

The only 600cc bike available to ride in India (legally) is the Ducati Monster 696 just for 10 lacs on road. Rest are not allowed

Default bandit
because spares will be cheap and will be easy to maintain. honda is better quality wise, but it cant be thrashed like the bandit. and vfr with all that tech makes things complicated. bandit is more simple and will serve better as a daily ride than the vfr. in simple words bandit is more practical.
