The demand for cruiser bikes in India has increased with the growing availability of different brands at budget-friendly prices. The primary reasons cruisers become extremely popular are the relaxed riding position and handlebars being placed higher with mind-boggling speed. 

In addition, the casual riding experience and up-straight seating posture make cruiser bikes the top choice for riders. Responding to the growing demand in India, various motorcycle brands have announced the launch of upcoming cruiser bikes.

Also, if you are planning to get a bike, it is mandatory to have bike insurance as per the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. It also covers losses against theft, accidents, traffic fines, and damage to the bike so that you can ride with peace of mind.
