For a long time, only dependable, fuel-efficient commuter-class motorcycles were available on the Indian motorcycle market. As far as cruisers go, Royal Enfield's selections were less than enough. Cruiser bikes are now a separate market for motorcycles, and a wide variety of models are offered at reasonable prices. Below, we have listed the top five cruiser bikes under ₹3 lakh that you may purchase if you want to own one.
The modern version of the classic cruiser is the BSA Gold Star 650. It is the first British motorcycle to be offered for sale in India under the Classic Legends brand.
