College life is all about fun, bikes, babes and friendships. Every kid on the block wishes to have the coolest bike but the pocket size matters. Here is our list of top 5 bikes which a college goer can have within 1 lakh budget and are quite effective too in terms of performance and looks.
The Suzuki Gixxer is arguably the best-looking, one of the fastest, and the most comfortable 150cc bike currently sold in the country. It was developed by the same engineers who had a hand in producing the scintillating GSX-R 1000. It has an excellent aerodynamic efficiency, which minimizes the turbulence and drag. Moreover, its fairing is made useful to the riders in a way that it can give them so much wind protection. Ex-showroom price is INR 83,439.
The Yamaha FZ is another game-changing motorcycle, something most of its competitors take inspiration from .The bike looks brawny and mean, with just the right amount of performance to make it a winner. A whole bunch of cosmetic and performance-enhancing aftermarket accessories are available for the FZ-S, so you can make it stand out from the crowd. Ex-showroom price is INR 78,210.
Post the launch Apache RTR 180 is one good example to have; especially for the goodness of 18bhp from the 180cc motor. Daytime running LEDs, cool paintjobs and the fake carbon fiber stickers are complementary with the agile packaging. This bike is fun to ride, and will always leave you with a smile. Ex-showroom price is INR 72,500.
The Bajaj Pulsar 200NS fares a strong rival to the crest. Its full throttle-extravaganza of 200cc, single-cylinder and “23bhp” needs just conventional Indian road to unleash the beast to the fullest .It is a perfect ride for those who love cheap thrills. It is a daily life Pocket Rocket. Ex-showroom price is INR 91,500.
Finally, the best of the lot and my pick is Bajaj V.
I’m sure no bike has been branded this well. The moment we saw the advertisement that it is recreated out of the metal extracted from INS Vikrant, the naval weapon which proved a major role in helping India defeat our neighbor in the Indo-Pak War; we immediately went drive the prideful automotive. Trust me, the 150 cc machine runs like a beauty. Easy to control, light weight and averages around 45.Power is transmitted to roads via a five-speed manual gearbox. This is the same engine that also powers the Bajaj Pulsar AS150 and Discover 150.
The critics have not given their verdict as it is relatively new to the market but looks like it’s going to rule this segment by a storm due to its pricing too with a meagre Ex-showroom price of Rs. 62,200.
What are you waiting for?
Race the wind, ride the rain! Kick the bike, feel the game!
Vrooooom!
