The Indian motorcycle industry is arguably in one of its most exciting phases yet. Several globally recognised brands now have deep ties to the country – either through partnerships, such as KTM and Triumph with Bajaj, or through dedicated manufacturing operations like Honda. For enthusiasts, this ultimately translates to one thing: a wider variety of motorcycles to ride and experience.
The sheer diversity of manufacturers also means the market has space for very different kinds of brands to coexist. Companies that primarily focus on smaller-capacity motorcycles, such as Hero and Yamaha, operate alongside premium global marques like Ducati and Harley-Davidson.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the most expensive models offered by some of the leading manufacturers in India, listed in alphabetical order.
