15 Best Two-Wheeler Vehicles in India in 2026

There are about ten big players in the two-wheeler manufacturing market in India. Among them, Honda, Hero, Bajaj, TVS, etc., have been ruling the list of the top-selling two-wheelers in the market for quite some time now.

When buying a bike in India, securing bike insurance is crucial as it is mandated by the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. It provides financial protection against accidents, theft, and damage, safeguarding your investment. 

Having bike insurance saves you from hefty traffic fines, licence suspension, and even legal trouble.
