The on-road price of {{bike}} in {{city}}, {{state}} is **{{on_road}}**. This is the total amount you pay at the showroom before you ride the bike home - and it is always higher than the ex-showroom price you see advertised online.

Here is how the on-road price in {{city}} breaks down:

- **Ex-showroom price:** {{ex_showroom}} - the manufacturer's listed price before state taxes
- **Road tax (RTO):** {{rto}} - calculated at {{rto_percent}} of the ex-showroom price in {{state}}
- **Insurance charges:** {{insurance_total}} - covers mandatory third-party cover plus own-damage insurance for the first year
- **Dealer/handling charges:** {{other_charges}} - covers pre-delivery inspection, number plate, and documentation

Road tax in {{state}} is the biggest variable when comparing on-road prices across cities. Buyers in states with higher road tax slabs pay more even when the ex-showroom price is identical. {{city}} falls under {{state}}'s registration framework, so the {{rto_percent}} rate applies directly to your {{ex_showroom}} ex-showroom price.

**Insurance breakdown**
The mandatory third-party (TP) insurance premium for a 125cc motorcycle is fixed by IRDAI and applies uniformly across India. Own-damage (OD) insurance is optional but strongly recommended for the first 2-3 years - it covers theft, accidents, and natural calamities. Together, TP and OD insurance add {{insurance_total}} to your first-year cost. Renewals from Year 2 onwards are typically 30-40% lower since you pay only TP (mandatory) or choose a standalone OD plan.

**Dealer charges**
The {{other_charges}} in dealer fees covers pre-delivery inspection, temporary registration, number plate fabrication, and documentation. This is largely non-negotiable, but some dealers bundle accessories or a free first service - always worth asking.

The total on-road price of {{bike}} in {{city}} works out to **{{on_road}}** as of {{year}}.
