Best 250cc Bikes in India: Tech Specs and Mileage Comparison

The 250cc segment, although a relatively new segment as compared to the others has however seen a lot of talk and action from the manufacturers and Indian bikers alike in the recent years. It is very enthralling to see the shift in the preference of consumers and bike lovers from small motors to big displacement bikes, bikes that truly let you enjoy the ride rather than just doing a job of ferrying you from point A to point B. The first entrant to the 250cc segment again hails from Bajaj, the mean, green Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
