Finally, we are at the end of the calendar year 2020! The last month of the year - December has already started and soon we will welcome a fresh new year. As it is year-end, so does this mean that there will be no new launches this month in the Indian automotive industry, be it cars or two-wheelers? Nope, you are absolutely wrong. India is one of the largest two-wheeler markets in the world. We witness a lot of new launches every month and similarly, a lot of new two-wheelers will be launched in the country this month too. So, here we have listed for you the Top 10 Upcoming BS6 Bikes in India in the month of December 2020.
