Year after year we see a vast multitude of bikes hit the market and to the average consumer this tends to be a little bit overwhelming so to help you out, we’ve compiled a list of what we think are five of the best bikes released in 2023 thus far.
Now the year is still young and there is a lot of change expected but for now, take a peek at what we feel are the best bikes of 2023 as of August.
Royal Enfield Hunter 350
The Hunter 350 has captured the attention of the entire motorcycle market in 2023, outperforming its rivals in terms of both performance and fuel mileage. The Hunter 350 has attracted the interest of gearheads and novice riders alike. It has a starting price of 1,50,000 and is offered in three variations that cost up to 1,97,000 making it the best value-for-money product, depending on the model. Its style is influenced by the neo-roadster aesthetic, and it has an eye-catching single-piece seat that is placed lower than typical. The motorcycle manages to keep its weight at a modest 190 kg despite having several remarkable features like a strong 349cc engine that unleashes a pleasing 20.2 bhp of power and a solid torque of 27 nm powers the Hunter350’s core.
On the breaking front, the Hunter 350 clocks in with an anti-lock braking system that has become the industry standard. In terms of weight, the 350 is about 181 kg heavy and has a fuel capacity of 13 liters. Possibly its most impressive achievement however is being awarded the Indian Motorcycle of the Year award at IMOTY 2023.

With its 97cc BS6 engine, it’s hard to find many better alternatives to the Splendor Plus.
