Top 5 Affordable 110cc Motorcycles

We Indians want the best of all worlds. We want more power, more mileage, and at a cheap cost. Well, bike manufacturers have come out with a lovely compromise of sorts with an 110cc class of motorcycles which provides the ease of a commuter with a slight edge in power for that smoother ride. But then again we want it for as cheap as possible, so to make things simpler for you, we have compiled a list of the 5 most affordable 110cc motorcycles in our market currently.

1. Mahindra Centuro
2. TVS Star City Plus
3. Honda CD 110 Dream
4. Suzuki Hayate EP
5. Honda Dream Neo

1. Mahindra Centuro: You might have expected Bajaj, Hero, or Honda to be the cheapest, but no, it is Mahindra with its Centuro. Interestingly Mahindra came out with an 110cc bike, but Bajaj didn’t. It might surprise many, but not me as this is Mahindra’s first ever bike on the road and they had to be competitive about it. The Centuro is a really able bike and the twin tube frame design which is a typical Mahindra identity sure does stand out. The Mahindra Centuro hence is a good bike to get with loads of features on offer with it.

The bike is powered by a 106.7cc engine which is the smallest of the lot, yet makes a good 8.4 bhp of power at 7500 RPM, and still manages to deliver a company claimed mileage of 85.4 Kmpl; all this at a price of INR 43,250/- ex-showroom Delhi. What this gets you are great looks, great performance and loaded features such as optional bike immobilizer, parking lights and the works.

2. TVS Star City Plus: Second on the list is the TVS Star City Plus. TVS has been aggressively marketing the bike with various colour options as well as with well-rounded looks and features. The engine does its job well, and the overall fit and finish of the bike is pretty good for the price. The bike is giving a tough fight to the competition out there.

For the TVS Star City Plus, you would get a 109.7cc engine producing 8.28 bhp of power at 7000 RPM which is pretty good. But what makes this an even better proposition for the buyer is the massive 86 Kmpl of claimed mileage for the bike. The feeling could compare to owning a 125cc but receiving a 100cc bike’s mileage. And TVS has also priced the bike pretty well with the bike pricing INR 44,000/- ex-showroom Delhi.

3. Honda CD 110 Dream: Finally we have a Honda in the mix with the CD 110 Dream. It is typical commuterish bike with the commuterish look and basic design philosophy used by Honda to cut down on the costs. Honda has the reputation for having the most trustworthy engines in the Indian market and expect no different from the Honda CD 110 Dream.

The bike gets a 109.19cc engine which is a really odd figure, but that is how it is. The engine churns out 8.25 bhp at 7500 RPM and returning a mileage of 74 Kmpl which is still within acceptable range. For a person looking for a proper no-nonsense bike, this is the one. But someone looking for a little flair in their commuter machine, this is the one to pass. The conservative looks will earn great praises from your dad and uncles, but it is not the one to impress your friends or girls with. The Honda CD 110 Dream costs INR 44,525/- ex-showroom Delhi.

4. Suzuki Hayate EP: Yes, it is not really the most popular bike on the street, but it exists. Suzuki has one of the reliable engines and with the Access doing well in the scooter market, you can be sure that the Hayate would not really disappoint you.

The bike is powered by an 112.8cc engine producing 8.3 bhp of power at 7500 RPM. The biggest downside for the bike is the 64 Kmpl mileage which is almost in the 125-150cc category bikes. That could be a major reason why the bike has not received much response in our market. What Suzuki has done to counter this is provide decent styling to the bike to make it look attractive and priced it competitively. The Suzuki Hayate EP is available for INR 49,269/- ex-showroom Delhi.

5. Honda Dream Neo: The Dream Neo is just a spruced up version of the CD 110 Dream with the exact same engine configuration but with better colors, graphics, design, and some extra features such as an improved dash, and most importantly a self-start along with. All in all it is going exactly the same as the Honda CD 110 Dream and is available in the market for INR 49,602/- ex-showroom Delhi.

All in all, we got you covered. This is our list of the top 5 affordable 110cc motorcycles in our market currently. So if you are looking to get an 110cc motorcycle only based on the cheapest tag, then this is your perfect partner as you don’t have to look any further.
