2023 has brought a diverse range of exciting bikes to the market. However, some bikes became more popular than others and captured the hearts of riders across the country.
Here is the list of the top 5 motorcycles in 2023:
- Harley-Davidson X440: This one made the biggest headlines this year. Produced in collaboration with Hero MotoCorp, this was the most affordable motorcycle offering by Harley Davidson. This bike, even though affordable, offered an array of features and specifications, tapping into a wider customer base.
- Hero Karizma XMR 210: Hero Motocorp capitalized on nostalgia with the relaunch of the legendary Karizma name in the XMR 210. Its sleek design, aggressive styling, and reasonable price of Rs. 1.73 lakh attract buyers. The XMR 210 is powered by a liquid-cooled engine. While vibrations and a firm suspension might affect city commutes, the XMR 210 impressed with its fuel efficiency and comfort.
- KTM 390 Duke: The third generation of the KTM 390 Duke was highly anticipated by enthusiasts. Moreover, the new Duke emerged as the most modern, powerful, and aggressive version yet. It has a radical design, a 399cc engine, a bi-directional quick shifter, and an adjustable suspension system. However, engine improvement and quality control could be improved.
- Royal Enfield Himalayan 450: Royal Enfield finally entered the liquid-cooled engine arena with the Himalayan 450, addressing the previous model's highway performance limitations. The new 450 impressed with its comfortable ergonomics, ride quality, light clutch action, and user-friendly TFT screen with smartphone connectivity. However, engine vibrations, front fork flex, and lack of low-end grunt were minor drawbacks. The Himalayan 450 offered a significant upgrade, making it a compelling choice for adventure enthusiasts at Rs. 2.69 lakh.
- Aprilia RS 457: The Aprilia RS 457, stole the show with its aggressive pricing of Rs. 4.10 lakh. This bike gives competition to rivals like the Yamaha YZF R3 and Kawasaki Ninja 400. Moreover, the RS 457 offers 300-400cc engine specs, features, and a sleek, Italian design. Also, it has a body look similar to the scaled-down version of RS660.
