Only base variants fall inside this budget. Top variants of the same models cross ₹60,000, so check the variant carefully before you book. Prices below are ex-showroom — add roughly 10 to 20 per cent for RTO charges, road tax and insurance to get your on-road figure.
1. Hero HF Deluxe — the best bike under 60000 overall
The Hero HF Deluxe starts at ₹58,980 and is the safest choice in this budget. It uses Hero's 97cc engine, which has been in production for years and is understood by every mechanic in India. Parts are cheap, easy to find even in small towns, and the bike holds its resale value better than anything else here. Claimed mileage sits around 70 kmpl, though you should expect less in stop-start city traffic. If you want one bike under 60000 that you can buy and forget about for five years, this is it.
2. Hero HF 100 — the simplest option
At ₹59,840, the Hero HF 100 is the stripped-back version of the HF Deluxe. It uses the same engine and the same service network, but drops a few features to hit a lower single-variant price. There is no self-start on the base version, so you kick-start it. That sounds like a compromise until you realise it also means one less thing to fail. For a second bike, a shop delivery bike, or a first two-wheeler for a college student, the HF 100 does the job without asking for much.
3. TVS Sport — the mileage leader
The TVS Sport starts at ₹55,500 and TVS markets it hard on fuel efficiency. It is the lightest motorcycle in this list, which is exactly why it sips fuel — less weight means less work for a small engine. The riding position is upright and the seat is long enough for a pillion. If your commute is 15 to 25 km a day on city roads and you care mostly about the monthly petrol bill, the Sport is the best bike under 60000 for you.
4. TVS Radeon — the most comfortable ride
Starting at ₹55,400, the TVS Radeon is the one to pick if your roads are bad. It has a wider, better-padded seat than the others and softer suspension, which makes a real difference on broken tarmac and speed breakers. It also looks more premium than its price suggests, with chrome detailing and a retro-style headlamp. The trade-off is a slightly higher kerb weight than the TVS Sport, so mileage is marginally lower. For riders who do longer distances or carry a pillion daily, that trade is worth making.
5. TVS XL100 — the cheapest two-wheeler in India
At ₹44,550, the TVS XL100 is the most affordable new two-wheeler on sale in India. It is a moped, not a motorcycle — no gears, a small 99.7cc engine, and a flat load platform in front of the rider. That platform is the whole point. Shopkeepers, milk vendors, courier riders and small traders buy the XL100 because it will carry a load that would unbalance a normal bike. If you need a working vehicle rather than a commuter, nothing else at this price comes close.
Is there a scooty under 60000 in India?
Not a petrol one from the mainstream brands. The cheapest petrol scooters — the Hero Pleasure Plus, Honda Dio and TVS Jupiter — all start above ₹69,000 ex-showroom. If you specifically want a scooty under 60000, your options are limited to used models or low-speed electric scooters, which do not need registration or a licence but top out around 25 kmph. For a new petrol scooter, budget at least ₹70,000 ex-showroom and closer to ₹85,000 on-road.
What you should check before buying
Three things decide your real cost at this budget. First, the on-road price in your city, not the ex-showroom number — the gap can be ₹8,000 or more. Second, whether the variant you want has self-start and alloy wheels, because the cheapest variant usually has neither. Third, how far your nearest authorised service centre is. A bike that saves you ₹2,000 at purchase but sits 12 km from its service centre will cost you more in time and fuel over three years than you saved.
