As most reports compare bikes based on their prices and brand associations, here is one based on the power output of bikes falling in the 150cc-250cc segment. The list here shows how engine size is independent of the output as brands can select different tunes out of the motor to achieve their purpose.

The second position is claimed by Honda CBR250R with 26.5 HP while 200cc Duke follows next with 25 HP of output. The RC variant also comes with the same power output as the Duke. The 20 HP benchmark is crossed by the first eight products while the next seven are available with 14.8 HP and above output. The range of bikes starts from INR 81,550 for the top 15 list while the most expensive model here is CBR250R with ABS at INR 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom).
