In this day and age, every rider in our country is trying to climb up the big engine ladder.

Middleweight is that section in Motorcycling which offers enough usable performance along with great value for money. In India, the middle section is particularly devoid of anything interesting.

We have already seen the rise of companies like Kawasaki, KTM, Honda, Yamaha and many more, and also other premium companies like Hyosung, Benelli, Ducati, etc. are setting up shop in the country as they know how feasible and fruitful the market is. Apart from the litre class bikes which everyone ogles at all the time, the segment which actually sees greater action is the middle-weight one, i.e. bikes with displacement between 600-800 cc, here is the list of all the middleweights coming to India in the year 2015-16.
