    Which bike to choose with a budget of 5 lakhs?

    Hi xBhpian's, I would like your suggestions on buying my third bike. I had owned an Apache RTR 160 Fi and then a Hero Karizma R.

    I will be using the bike for daily commute of around 10kms and occasional drives of around 300km.

    Requirements :
    1. Good riding position

    1. Reliability
    2. Performance
    3. Localized parts so that service won't be very expensive.
    4. Should not be a single cylinder bike
    5. Enough space for pillon rider
    6. Max budget of5 lakh. Can't stretch more than that

      Current hot cakes are
      Ninja 300
      Yamaha r3
      Benelli tnt 300
      Rc 390
      And upcoming tornado 302

      For reliabilityand plenty of aftermarket parts kawasaki ninja 300 is the best option
      R3 would give you a new bike feel but you would like to consider ninja for a big bike feel.

      Go through various ownership reviews of ninja,r3 and benelli for more insight

        What's the style you like ... naked, faired, cruiser. But higher you go, the maintenance will be expensive and local parts will be difficult.

        A non-single cylinder, 5 lakh budget new bike will place you in the 300cc twin segment..... Ninja300, R3, TNT300, Tornado 300(when it releases) or the Harley Street 750. Cannot comment on the used bike market....
        When I'm on the road, I'm indestructible. No one can stop me... but they try.

          You have a very Good budget to start with. Go around stores, check the bikes that fit your criteria. and choose whatever bike makes you happy! There's no Right or Wrong Bike. If you can afford it and if it gives you that OUT OF THE WORLD feeling, Buy it!

            [MENTION=19366]Manuks[/MENTION] - Do those 5L rupees include riding gear as well?
            Sort that out first, calculate the remaining balance and buy whatever! 😊
