Within your budget, the best option would be the TVS Ronin. Compared to other comparable machines, the Ronin is a good deal lighter and has a low 795mm seat height, too. With its neutral rider’s triangle, comfortable suspension setup and smooth, torque-rich engine, the Ronin will be good for both short city rides and long highway trips.
We’d recommend getting a variant with dual-channel ABS since your budget will be able to accommodate it.
