Suggest a Good Sports Tourer

I am looking for a sports tourer within a budget of less than Rs 8 lakh. What would you recommend? Will the maintenance cost be prohibitive?

There aren’t many sports tourers within the budget specified by you. In fact, there’s only one that’s currently available in the market: the Kawasaki Ninja 650. The maintenance cost in respect of any premium motorcycle such as this will go up when compared to the cost one incurs when servicing one’s average mass-market bike. Make sure you take the Ninja for a spin and see if you like the way it feels.
