The on-road price of {{bike}} in {{city}}, {{state}} is {{on_road}}. This is the total amount you will pay to ride the bike out of the showroom, and it breaks down as follows:

**Ex-showroom price:** {{ex_showroom}}
This is the manufacturer's price before state taxes. It is the same pan-India regardless of city - what changes is everything added on top.

**Road tax (RTO charges):** {{rto}} ({{rto_percent}} of ex-showroom)
{{state}}'s road tax rate for premium motorcycles above 350cc is {{rto_percent}}. This is a one-time payment made at the time of registration. States like Karnataka charge significantly higher road tax than Delhi or Maharashtra, which is why on-road prices vary so much city to city for the same bike.

**Insurance:** {{insurance_total}}
This covers mandatory third-party insurance ({{tp_insurance}}) plus own-damage insurance ({{od_insurance}}). For a 1252cc imported motorcycle like the {{bike}}, insurance premiums are higher than for typical Indian-made bikes - the repair costs for CBU components are factored in by insurers.

**Dealer and handling charges:** {{other_charges}}
This is a standard charge collected by dealerships to cover pre-delivery inspection, logistics, and documentation.

**Total on-road price in {{city}}: {{on_road}}**

Note that the on-road price above applies to the standard variant (Billiard Gray/Brilliant Red/Mystic Shift). The Vivid Black variant carries an ex-showroom premium of Rs 16,500, which will proportionally increase the road tax and on-road total as well.
