These are the best from their respective categories

2014 witnessed the launch of a slew of motorcycles across various categories, including a multitude of fully imported machines. Here is a look at the top five two-wheeler launches from last year.

The KTM RC 390 is a niche offering as it's a track oriented machine but its affordability and performance make it stand out.

The design is also eye catchy and with a vast dealership network, the RC 390 is a bike which most can buy in the country.

Without doubt, the launch of 2014 was the Suzuki Gixxer.

A 150cc bike from Suzuki which pleases the masses with its blend of performance, dynamics, quality and price.

The Gixxer not only packs a punch but is also one of the best bikes in its class.

The most affordable 4-cylinder bike in India, the Kawasaki Z800 is an entry to the world of super-biking and with the recent price reduction of Rs 55,000, it's more tempting than ever.

It packs in lot of power with massive attention to detail.

The Honda Activa 125 is one of the best scooters you can buy today.

Its blend of performance, practicality and dynamics make it a terrific product while the company hasn't skipped on equipment either.

An entry-level commuter bike which is fun to ride, that's what the TVS Star City+ is.

Good dynamics and daily practicality make it stand out in its category which is very crowded.
