From Honda CB350 to RE Classic 350: Here are the most affordable cruiser bikes available in India
Here are the most affordable cruiser bikes in India Cruiser motorcycles have been synonymous with easy, long-distance cruising ever since with characteristic low-profile silhouettes and laid-back ergonomics. While high-end cruisers tend to exceed the ₹ 10 lakh price point, several affordable alternatives from the Indian two-wheeler industry exist that still provide that quintessential cruiser experience—on a budget. If you're in the market to purchase a cruiser motorbike, here are the most affordable options in the market currently. 1 TVS Ronin View Offers View More Details TVS Ronin is a cruiser with an urban twist, for riders who seek street-friendly dynamics in a cruiser package. Its small proportions are combined with a 225.9cc oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 20.1 bhp and 19.9 Nm of torque. The motorcycle features a 5-speed gearbox and slip-and-assist clutch for smoother transmissions. The new version introduces dual-channel ABS to the mid-version, with the top-end model keeping upscale touches such as digital instrumentation and Bluetooth functionality. The prices for the Ronin vary from ₹ 1.35 lakh to ₹ 1.73 lakh (ex-showroom). 2 Royal Enfield Classic 350 View Offers View More Details The Classic 350 is still a great choice for cruiser fans who enjoy classic looks and reliable mechanisms. The bike is powered by Royal Enfield's 349cc J-series engine which makes 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque, paired to a 5-speed gearbox. Key features include a round LED headlamp, digital-analogue cluster, USB-C charging, and the brand's Tripper navigation pod (on select variants). Priced between ₹ 1.93 lakh and ₹ 2.30 lakh (ex-showroom), the Classic 350 remains a compelling mix of old-school charm and everyday usability. 3 Honda CB350 View Offers View More Details Honda's entry into the retro-cruiser space came with the CB350, a motorcycle that leans heavily on clean lines and minimalistic design. It houses a 348cc single-cylinder engine that generates 20.7 bhp and 29.5 Nm. Like its rivals, the CB350 also uses a 5-speed transmission. Despite its modest looks, it's equipped with modern tech like Honda's voice-controlled Bluetooth system on higher trims. Price-wise, it falls between ₹ 2 lakh and ₹ 2.18 lakh (ex-showroom). 5 Harley-Davidson X440 View Offers View More Details Breaking new ground in the affordable cruiser segment, the X440 is Harley-Davidson's most accessible motorcycle yet.

Honda India Eyes 30 Pc Share In 2W Market, Sees Potential To Grow Sales Among Women
Last Updated: The company's arm, HMSI, sees huge potential to grow sales among female customers, who currently account for just about 10 per cent of the overall industry sales Jpanese auto major Honda is targeting a 30 per cent share in the Indian two-wheeler market by 2030, as it chases the goal to achieve half of global two-wheeler sales in the long term, according to a top official of the company's arm in India. The company's arm, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI), sees huge potential to grow sales among female customers, who currently account for just about 10 per cent of the overall industry sales, HMSI President Tsutsumu Otani told PTI in an interview. He also said that while the company sees a shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) to electric vehicles in the two-wheeler segment in the long term, bottlenecks around charging infrastructure and electricity supplies are major impediments at present. 'Considering the Indian market size, we want to achieve 30 per cent share in India by 2030," Otani said when asked about the significance of the Indian market in Honda's overall long-term goal to garner 50 per cent of global two-wheeler sales. Currently, he said HMSI has a 27 per cent market share in the Indian market. Otani said that already in the ASEAN region, Honda has over 80 per cent market share. Earlier in January this year, Honda Motor Co announced that the industry-wide global motorcycle (two-wheeler) sales, currently at a scale of 50 million units, are projected to grow to 60 million units by 2030, including electric vehicles. The company has set 'a long-term target" for itself to capture a 50 per cent share of the global motorcycle market, including electric motorcycles. According to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), the total two-wheeler retail sales in India stood at 1,88,77,812 units in FY25 compared to 1,75,27,115 units in FY24. HMSI's retail sales in FY25 were 47,89,283 units against 40,93,895 units in FY24. It was the number two player after Hero MotoCorp, which clocked 54,45,251 units in FY25 and 53,97,315 units in FY24. Otani noted that Honda sees huge potential to tap female customers to increase its two-wheeler sales in India with increasing women empowerment and many of them entering the workforce. 'In India, the overall two-wheeler usage is mostly male, with 90 per cent, and females just around 10 per cent. It means the potential for two-wheeler sales to grow among the female customers is huge," he said. When asked about the company's product pipeline programme for the Indian market to achieve the 2030 target, Otani declined to comment, but asserted that, being a global company, Honda has a range of products in its portfolio, which can be considered for India. Otani said the company will consider a wide range of technologies, including EVs and flex fuels, for the Indian market, considering the different consumer demands in different parts of the country. Honda had stated that it plans to introduce 30 electric models globally by 2030 to achieve the goal of increasing its global annual sales of electric motorcycle models to 4 million units by 2030. The company had also said it would strive to capture the largest market share in the electric two-wheeler segment in India, where it will begin operating a dedicated electric two-wheeler production plant in 2028. When asked if the company has finalised the location of the EV-only plant and investments for it, Otani said it has not been decided as yet. He said in the long term, the shift from ICE to electric vehicles will happen in India, but at present, the bottlenecks around charging infrastructure and electricity supplies are major impediments. .
