Non-Sporty Bikes Under 2 Lakh

Bajaj's motorcycle range in India includes commuter bikes, sporty motorcycles, cruisers and tourers. Its portfolio starts with the 100cc Platina and extends to the 349.13cc Pulsar NS400Z and Dominar 400, while the Freedom 125 adds a CNG-powered option to the range. The Pulsar family forms the core of Bajaj's sporty motorcycle lineup, with the N Series suited to daily commuting and weekend rides, NS Series designed for spirited city riding and twisty-road performance, RS200 built for highway touring and track-inspired riding, and the Classic Series for everyday use with a comfortable riding position.
Choosing a Bajaj bike in India depends largely on what you want from your motorcycle. The Pulsar range is central to Bajaj's 125cc-and-above portfolio and spans multiple engine capacities and riding requirements, while the CT and Platina remain focused on everyday commuting. The Avenger caters to those looking for a cruiser, and the Dominar is positioned towards longer-distance riding. There is also the Freedom 125, which offers a CNG-powered alternative.
Bajaj's current motorcycle range covers very different requirements, so the right choice depends less on the brand and more on how you intend to use the bike. Here's a quick look at which Bajaj motorcycle or range makes sense for different types of buyers.
Requirement | Bajaj Bike | Why Does It Make Sense? |
Looking for a simple, affordable commuter | Platina 100 | Built around everyday commuting, with Bajaj highlighting comfort, mileage and features such as ComforTec on the Platina range. |
Riding on rough roads or carrying luggage regularly | CT 110X | Gets 170mm ground clearance, semi-knobby tyres, engine protection, a thick padded seat and a rear carrier designed for heavier items. |
Wanting more performance without going to a large motorcycle | NS125 / N160 / NS160 | Provides a progression from 125cc to 160cc, with the NS125 suited to buyers seeking accessible performance, while the N160 and NS160 offer stronger acceleration and higher-speed capability. |
Looking for a proper performance motorcycle | Pulsar NS200 / N250 / NS400Z | These sit higher in the Pulsar range, with progressively larger engines and higher performance. |
Prefer a cruiser-style motorcycle | Avenger 220 Street / 220 Cruise | Bajaj's dedicated cruiser range with a low-slung design and relaxed riding position. |
Planning regular highway rides or touring | Dominar 250 / Dominar 400 | Larger-capacity motorcycles positioned above the commuter and Pulsar models, with the Dominar 400 offering a 349cc engine and four ride modes. |
Want to consider CNG instead of a petrol-only bike | Freedom 125 | Uses a 124.6cc CNG-and-petrol powertrain, giving it a distinct place in Bajaj's motorcycle lineup. |
Prefer a full-faired sporty motorcycle | Pulsar RS200 | The RS200 adds a full fairing and a more sportbike-oriented design to the Pulsar range. |

View allI need to buy a bike. I’ve been riding a scooter for the last three years, and I turned 18 six months ago. I’ve ridden my friend’s Bajaj Pulsar a few times, though never in heavy traffic. Still, I’m confident that after riding it in traffic two or three times, I’ll be fine. I’ve covered more than 5,000 km on my scooter, often in remote parts of the Northeast and Himachal Pradesh. This will be my first bike, and I’m from Guwahati. My budget is Rs 2-5 lakh, and I’m open to options across that range. I’ve always wanted a Harley-Davidson, so I’d like to know the advantages and disadvantages of buying one in this price range. I’m not looking for a sports bike, but something suited to daily commuting and occasional riding in the hills. I’m also interested in the Royal Enfield Himalayan and Guerrilla 450, but I’m not sure I want to spend that much. I can, if it’s a much better choice for me than the others. Alternatively, I could go for a Honda CBR, a Pulsar or the Bajaj Dominar. Please help me decide. I’m open to suggestions. Thanks!
Hey Autocar, I am a college student planning to get either an electric scooter or a motorcycle. I travel around 25 to 30 km every day, usually with a friend. I need to carry several items, including two helmets and bags. My budget is around Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 2 lakh. I live in an apartment and can get the charging setup settled, but I am unsure which vehicle to get. Thanks in advance!
I am 48 years old and looking to buy a motorcycle for my daily commute and occasional touring. I have the Pulsar N250 in mind. Is it suitable for me? What other light motorcycles should I consider if I do not want to stretch my budget much beyond Rs 2 lakh?
I am looking for a non-sporty motorcycle with excellent pillion comfort within a budget of Rs. 2 lakh. I am primarily a city commuter with occasional long-distance highway trips. I feel the TVS Ronin suits my requirements, but I am worried about its after-sales service. Please provide some suggestions.
I’m 30 years old, and a year ago I had a lumbar microdiscectomy at L5-S1. I’m a physiotherapist and ride at least 30 km a day for work. I now want to buy a bike under Rs 1.2 lakh that offers the best fuel efficiency for daily riding. I weigh 58 kg and am 5 ft 3 in tall, and I’d prefer a bike with monoshock hydraulic rear suspension. Which bike would suit me best in West Bengal?

The Bajaj Pulsar 180 offers excellent value for money. It has a long, single-piece seat which is more comfortable for both the rider and the pillion, especially when riding with family.

Great touring motorcycle, especially on highways! Awesome pickup, sticks to road. Motorcycle heavy for city riding, particularly at peak hours with slow moving traffic. Major Con - Motorcycle switches off at low rpm. Major Pros - Good thing, is comes fitted with most of the accessories, however side saddle stay is missing from this year (Not much 670 per side saddle).

The Platina range is the most commuter-focused option in Bajaj's current motorcycle portfolio, while the CT 110X is more suitable for buyers who regularly encounter rough roads.
The Pulsar NS400Z sits at the top of the current Pulsar range. Bajaj lists it as part of the NS Series alongside the NS125, NS160 and NS200.
