As the number of buyers spending more on the motorcycles is increasing day by day, the 300-400cc segment is not getting the required growth due to the launch of Royal Enfield Interceptor at INR 2.50 lakh. The bigger 650cc engine is impressive in terms of performance and further saves initial investment amount for a budget-conscious buyer.
