Warranty and the warranty card
Warranty terms differ by brand and are the first thing to compare. Honda gives a three-year standard warranty that can be extended to six years for an extra cost, and KTM offers a four-year standard warranty on road-legal models from model year 2025. Ask for the warranty card or book and check whether the period is standard or extended. A warranty covers manufacturing defects; it does not replace insurance.
Insurance and paperwork
Under the rules described in local guides, high-speed electric vehicles must carry mandatory insurance covering vehicle damage and third-party liability, while low-speed models are usually exempt. If you buy a used bike, check that the registration papers and the insurance are transferred into your name before you ride it away.
Rain season and riding conditions
The climate is tropical, hot all year with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. The wet season brings slippery roads, so brakes and tyres need more attention. Say in your request whether you ride in the rain and on which roads, because that changes which model suits you.
What to write in the request
Give the engine size in cc, mileage in kilometres per litre (kmpl) and the odometer reading in km or lakh km. For electric models, state the motor power in watts and the battery in volts and amp-hours. Add your city (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai), your budget in rupees, and whether you want a new or used bike. If you live outside these cities, ask whether delivery is included in the price.
