To get a motorcycle making more than 46hp within your budget, you can consider any of the Royal Enfield 650cc models, as well as the Aprilia RS and Tuono 457 models. Royal Enfield's 650s aren't sporty machines and are also considerably heavy, with some of them weighing 240kg or more. The Aprilia 457 models are properly thrilling and entertaining machines to ride, but have been plagued by some troubling engine reliability issues. It would be advisable to speak to some RS and Tuono 457 owners to see what their experience has been before pulling the trigger on either of the two. Lastly, the Kawasaki Ninja 500 is another option that fits the bill, and truthfully, it is a great bike to ride, but its steep pricing is a tough pill to swallow.Do your research, take multiple test rides and speak to people who own these bikes before you make your choice.

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is a great sportsbike at a very steep price, just like its predecessor, the Ninja 400. If you can stretch for the Ninja, it is a capable, refined, comfortable and reliable machine which will serve you well. Do bear in mind that Kawasaki spares and service have a reputation for being on the pricey side and that the company's dealer network is quite small across the country. The Aprilia RS 457 is a truly great sportsbike, but because of its focused nature, it won't be the best fit on broken city roads. Another aspect to consider is that the 457cc engine has been reported to have multiple reliability issues that keep recurring. So, we would recommend you not go with the RS.The Honda CBR500R is not sold in India, so it shouldn't factor into your decision. The Kawasaki Ninja 300 is a machine that thoroughly feels its age today, but remains a unique offering in the class with its twin-cylinder engine. The single-cylinder TVS Apache RR 310 will feel quite dull to ride in comparison to these twin-cylinder machines. But it is also much more affordable and easier to maintain. Take a test ride to decide which bike is better for you.

The Aprilia RS 457 is a wonderful sportbike and is great fun to ride while also being desirable to own and look at. However, there's no escaping that the 457cc Aprilia engine has sadly been in the spotlight many times for reliability and various other issues highlighted by multiple owners.Apart from all this, Aprilia's dealer network is quite small, and spares are quite pricey. So we would recommend you stick with the dated but more affordable, proven and capable KTM RC 390.The RC will also be more spacious and comfortable for larger riders such as yourself. Coming to the KTM RC 450, that bike is highly unlikely to come to India as it is made by CFMoto, not Bajaj.
