Top 5 Faired Sports Bikes In India That Cost Under Rs 2 Lakh

European, Japanese and even Desi, there are lots of good bikes to choose from

If you’re a 90s kid, you’d have grown up watching Dhoom, right? The sight of Abhishek chasing John on faired supersports was just a treat to watch. While there were barely any faired bikes back then, buyers have plenty of options now, even if they’re on a budget. Here are the top five faired motorcycles that are priced below Rs 2 lakh (all prices ex-showroom Delhi).

Bajaj Pulsar RS200 - Rs 1,71,021

This Bajaj bike has been around since 2015, and when it was launched, it was claimed to be the fastest Pulsar. While it may or may not be the fastest Pulsar around currently, it is definitely the most expensive Pulsar in India. That said, the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 does offer good performance and handling, however it feels outdated due to the lack of modern features.

Yamaha R15 V4 - Rs 1,80,900

The Yamaha R15 has built a reputation of turning boys into men and men into boys. Packing stunning design and performance, this Yamaha bike is one of the best two-wheelers you can buy below Rs 2 lakh. Not to mention the added features like a TFT display with Bluetooth, traction control and quickshifter on the latest M variant, make the Yamaha R15 V4 a very compelling package.

KTM RC 125 - Rs 1,88,640

This Austrian Orange is the most expensive bike on this list, and also one with the smallest engine. It carries the same design as its bigger siblings, and offers the same premium hardware too. It does try to punch above its weight, trying to take on the Yamaha R15; however, the KTM RC 125 handles like a breeze, thus making it a good beginner’s bike.

Suzuki Gixxer SF - Rs 1,37,100

The Suzuki Gixxer SF is a sensible bike that offers frugality and refinement as you’d expect from a top-notch Japanese motorcycle. It is agile and loves tipping into corners, offering oodles of confidence to both beginner and experienced riders alike.

Hero Xtreme 200S - Rs 1,35,360

Think of a sporty Hero bike, and the first thought would be the Karizma, right? And with the Karizma long gone, you’d expect the Hero Xtreme 200S to fill those shoes, however that’s not the case. That said, it is a 200cc motorcycle, and is the most affordable faired bike you can get in India which offers a decent amount of fun for its asking price.
