Top 9 Sports Bikes in India 2022

The BMW G 310 R is not an outright street hooligan if that's what you're expecting. But it does the job very well, and if it's the manageable and reliable roadster you're looking to upgrade to, by all means, go and take a test ride! It may not give you an adrenaline rush, but it's no slouch either, and will keep you happy on most occasions. Whether you bring it home or not, it will certainly have you thinking about it, long after that first ride!

The updated 2020 TVS Apache RR 310 gets a price tag of ₹ 2.40 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India), a premium of ₹ 12,000 over the outgoing model. The RR 310 is now a significant step-up, with the ride-by-wire throttle, four riding modes, as well as full-colour instrument panel which certainly makes the RR 310 feel more premium than ever. It's actually quite a likeable and desirable motorcycle, as an all-rounder which can be fun to push around a racetrack as well! 

The RS200 is not as entertaining as the Yamaha R15 or the KTM RC200 - those bikes are in proper full-attack mode from the word go, whereas with the RS, you need to spend more and more time on it to get familiar with its boundaries and character. Its limits are not as great as its rivals from KTM and Yamaha, but at being a flaunt machine, the RS200 might just be good enough for some unusual college-goers.

Possibly the best looking motorcycle in the segment, the Yamaha R15's sharp lines and sporty styling has won over many hearts since its launch. The 155 cc engine is best in the segment thanks to the high refinement levels and the wide spread of power and torque available on tap. Yamaha has also made sure that the motorcycle is loaded with safety features that make it a good bet for young or even experienced riders.

The KTM RC 200 never dared to please everyone, which is exactly why it stood out all these years. It emerges as more inviting than ever thanks to a more comfortable riding posture and seat. The new version only builds on the same ethos but feels like a more mature product choosing function. For those starting college or a professional career, and are looking out for a bike that's truly fun, the RC 200 remains an excellent package that's now even better.

The next-generation KTM RC 390 has become more accessible and friendlier so even if you’re upgrading from a smaller bike, the new KTM RC 390 is comfortable to ride. With the new updates, it has become a bike that is more suited for everyday use, and for a minority of users who want to cut their teeth on a racetrack, it still offers a capable and potent track tool. Prices though have gone up by ₹ 36,000, it still makes a very strong case as a performance-oriented and well-equipped sports bike.

The Gixxer SF looks great, rides well and is efficient too, making it a capable all-rounder

The Kawasaki Ninja 400 is currently not on sale in India and it could be difficult to find a model in the used motorcycle market as well, since it did not do well. It was an expensive 400 cc bike but offered great performance.
