Last year, the Indian motorcycle market had a difficult year, dealing with the twin blows of BS6 emission standards and the COVID-19 outbreak. This had a significant influence on motorcycle sales, especially superbikes, which had been away from the action the previous year. However, given the size of the Indian motorcycle industry and its potential, there are many opportunities for the company to invest its efforts in manufacturing and focusing on superbikes in India.
As a result, there are now a plethora of high-performance motorcycles available for purchase in this country. Some superbikes that have just arrived on our shores are included in this category. Of course, there’s no getting around the fact that BS6 superbikes are expensive. Still, if you’re looking for something to boost your cool factor while also providing an excellent riding experience, few things can compete with superbikes. Here are the top five superbikes available in India if you’re looking to buy one for yourself (and don’t mind shelling out a lot of cash).
