Over the past few weeks, we’ve gained a fairly clear picture of how the recent GST revisions have impacted the prices of the several two-wheelers on sale in India. Even buyers at the more affordable end of the spectrum, with bikes like the TVS Sport and Hero HF Deluxe, stand to save around Rs 5,000. 

And as prices climb higher, the GST cuts only become more substantial, with some models dropping by as much as Rs 68,000. Here are five bikes that have seen the biggest price reductions, plus one honorable mention.

5. TVS Apache RR 310

Price reduced by up to Rs 24,310

TVS’s flagship model, the Apache RR 310, is available in two variants – the base priced at Rs 2.78 lakh and the top-spec quichshifter-equipped model at Rs 2.95 lakh. 

Following the revised GST rates, prices have dropped by up to Rs 24,310, bringing them down to Rs 2.56 lakh and Rs 2.72 lakh, respectively. The company also recently introduced a limited-edition variant to mark 20 years of the Apache line. It features a special black-and-red colour scheme and a USB charger, and its price has dropped from Rs 3.37 lakh to Rs 3.11 lakh.

4. Zontes 350T Adventure

Price reduced by Rs 25,400

The Zontes 350T Adventure is one of the fives bikes from the Chinese manufacturer that Adishwar Auto Ride India (AARI) distributes in our market. It’s powered by a 348cc single-cylinder engine that makes a claimed 38.8hp and 32.8Nm of torque. With the revised GST structure, its pricing has dropped notably from Rs 3.25 lakh to Rs 3.00 lakh. 

3. Kawasaki Ninja 300

Price reduced by Rs 26,000

The Kawasaki Ninja 300 serves as the entry point into the Japanese manufacturer’s renowned Ninja lineup in India. For 2025, it received three new colour options and a revised headlight setup, launching at Rs 3.43 lakh in May. Following the GST revisions, its price has dropped to Rs 3.17 lakh – a notable reduction of Rs 26,000 that makes it a more accessible choice for entry-level sportbike buyers. Power comes from a 296cc parallel-twin engine producing 39hp at 11,000rpm and 26.1Nm at 10,000rpm.

2. Keeway V302C

Price reduced by Rs 30,000

The Keeway V302C, another one of the models imported and distributed by AARI, is a cruiser powered by a 298cc V-twin engine that produces 29.5hp and 26.5Nm of torque. Even at its earlier price of Rs 4.29 lakh, it was among the most affordable ways to experience a V-twin –  second only to its stablemate, the K-Light 250V. Thanks to the recent GST revisions though, it’s now a full Rs 30,000 cheaper, bringing its price down to Rs 3.99 lakh.

1. Kawasaki Versys-X 300

Price reduced by Rs 30,000

The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 also receives an identical price cut of Rs 30,000 like the Keeway V302C, taking its price from Rs 3.79 lakh to Rs 3.49 lakh. Since the reduction represents a greater percentage of the bike’s overall price, it earns the top spot on our list, ahead of the V302C.The Versys-X 300 uses the same 296cc parallel-twin engine as the Ninja 300, but in a slightly altered state of tune, producing 40hp at 11,500rpm and 26Nm at 10,000rpm. 

Honorable mentions

While the motorcycles listed above represent the biggest price cuts among street-legal bikes, two Kawasaki models have seen even more substantial reductions. However, they don't make the main list as they're off-road competition bikes that aren't street-legal with limited availability.

Kawasaki KX250

Price reduced by Rs 68,000

The Kawasaki KX250 sits below the KX450 in the manufacturer’s off-road motorcycle lineup in India. It’s seen a massive Rs 68,000 price reductionfollowing the GST cut, taking its price from Rs 8.47 lakh down to Rs 7.79 lakh. 

Kawasaki KX85

Price reduced by Rs 32,000

The smaller KX85, intended to be a youth competition machine, has seen a Rs 32,000 price reduction. It’s now priced at Rs 3.88 lakh, down from Rs 4.20 lakh. 

All prices are ex-showroom.
