Various motorcycle manufacturers are offering heavy discounts on various models plus added incentives like warranty and free accessories. Royal Enfield recently updated its entire motorcycle range to BS6 emission norms. India recently moved away from BS4 to cleaner BS6 emission norms to cut down on the vehicular pollution. Royal Enfield was offering discounts on bikes in May.
