Whenever we talk about bikes for daily commute, the first thing that comes in our mind is its mileage. A good bike is that which gives good mileage even with a quite powerful engine. Soon after this thought, the next thing that comes into mind is the price-range.
Nobody wants to spend too much on a bike, but also looks for a bike good enough to last long even when used every day.
Hence, all the discussions of regular use come around to good bikes below 60k in India.
A big chunk of the most loved bikes in India comes under the range of INR 60,000. It is that optimum price which every middle class Indian man is ready to spend for a vehicle of his choice for daily commute.
