5 Best Bikes For College Students In India

The milestone of 18 years of age is a crucial one for those who love motorcycles. It is at this age, when they are eligible to get a geared two-wheeler license in India. And in this duration, they do step into the crucial college life, and for that, they do need a motorcycle, which not only serves the purpose of commuting from home to college, but also is a mode of enhancing their style quotient.

Following is a list of 5 best bikes for college students available in India, which offer a great balance of form as well as function:

Bajaj Pulsar NS 125

Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 Review

The Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 is one motorcycle which is not just all show and no go – a prime requirement of college students. The entire design of the Pulsar 125 mimics that of its elder siblings like the NS 160 and NS200, which makes it look very premium and sporty.

Even the premium features like clip-on handlebars, part-digital instrument console with tachometer, split pillion grab rails, split seats and rear monoshock have been retained from the bigger NS models in the Pulsar NS 125. However, the skinnier tyres and front suspension signify that it is a lesser powerful and smaller NS motorcycle.

The engine powering the Bajaj Pulsar NS 125 is an all-new four-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected, 124.45cc DTS-i engine. Coupled to a 5-speed gearbox, this engine pumps out a maximum power output of 12 PS and a maximum torque output of 11 Nm. Bajaj has priced the Pulsar NS 125 at Rs. 93,818 for the single variant in which it is available, thus making it the most premium 125cc motorcycle in its category. Certainly, it is one of the best bikes for college students in India under 1 lakh.

Powering the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is a new generation four-stroke, single-cylinder, oil-cooled, fuel-injected, 159.7cc engine, which is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. This engine, here on the Apache RTR 160 4V, makes 17.6 PS of maximum power and 14.7 Nm of maximum torque.

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V can be had in one of the two variants on offer – single disc (Rs. 1,08,565) and double disc (Rs. 1,11,165). You can consider the RTR 160 4V amongst the best bikes for college students under 1.5 lakh.
