Top 10 Most Expensive Bikes in India: The phrase ‘most expensive bike’ creates a sensation among the biking community of India in more than one way. The feel includes positivity gained with the availability of such high-performance premium products while high tax slabs spread shivers to most buyers of the country. Safely assuming all of these as completely built-up units, Indian buyers pay roughly double the amount for their actual price. Still, when it comes to extreme love for performance motorcycles, buyers are always willing to spend huge amounts for their selective body type.
