Best Streetfighter Bikes in India, Under INR 2 Lakhs

When it comes to tackling urban roads and chaotic traffic in the slickest way possible, one must be seated upright with the knees slightly bent and in an open-chested position, controlling a flat handlebar for a motorcycle with a tight wheelbase. Enter streetfighter motorcycles which offer just that and then somebikes , which makes these agile machines perfect for almost all sorts of riding conditions.

Unlike fully-faired motorcycles, streetfighter bikes take a rather simple approach towards motorcycling with their minimalist styling and exposed components, which translates into lesser weight and more agility. These days, such machines are often derivatives of race-spec, fully-clothed motorcycles which are more demanding of the rider and in comparison to street-spec bikes, aren’t as easy to manoeuvre in everyday conditions.

While the aforementioned is true in the case of high-end, expensive motorcycles, in the affordable space, streetfighter motorcycles are mostly offered as a step-up to commuter motorcycles. These offer an engine which cranks out enough power to keep the rider happy in urban riding conditions and can hold the baton during weekend rides as well. Almost every motorcycle manufacturer in India offers a streetfighter motorcycle and most of them compete against each other in the 160-390cc space. If you are looking at bikes for 2 lakhs though, there are plenty of options.
