The 5 to 10 lakhs price segment comprises some of the premium sports, street, and cruiser bikes in India. These bikes provide an adrenaline rush with added comfort to cover long distances on highways and city roads. 

Though heftily priced, these attract a different customer base who loves to go on adventurous rides or glide through highways with speed. 

So, if you buy a bike in this price range, don’t forget to secure it with two-wheeler insurance, as it’s mandatory per the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988.  

Providing financial protection against accidents, theft, and damage, the policy also saves you from hefty traffic fines, license suspension and even legal trouble.
