There is no denying the fact that Honda motorcycles are well known the world over for quality and power.

The CBR250R is no different and offers a good 25 BHP from its 250cc motor.

But what makes this Honda truly the bike to have is its optional C-ABS system, which takes braking performance to an all new level.

The 150cc motor produces 17 PS of peak power and 15 Nm of torque, but what is truly astonishing is the brakes and high speed stability.

All this at a price of Rs 1.21 lakh (Mumbai).

4. Royal Enfield Classic

Royal Enfield has been making motorcycles since years now but its only until recently that one can say their motorcycles are performance oriented.

Case in point is the Classic 500, which produces an insane 27.2 BHP of power and a crazy 41.3 Nm of torque.

The retro styling and good stability at speed are just added bonus.

The Classic can be yours to keep for Rs 1.50 lakh (Mumbai).

5. Bajaj Pulsar 220

Bajaj's Pulsar 220 might be on its way out but is still on the top 5 of our performance motorcycles list. The reason is quite simple. The Pulsar 220 offers sheer horsepower and value at the same time.

Powered by a 220cc engine which produces close to 21 BHP of power, the Pulsar 220 is fast and loud.

It offers back-lit switches, projector headlights and self canceling indicators, something which the rest lack. We only wonder what the Pulsar 200 NS will do, once it goes on sale.a
