"Motorbikes are the best for urban travel. They're economical and easy to park," the Mumbai sales executive in his 30s told AFP.

But while Abhijit, who uses only one name, wants to upgrade to four wheels, he is not yet sure whether he will stay true to the Bajaj brand, even though the company has announced that it is looking to get into the small car market.

"You know what you're getting with bikes and scooters," he explained.
