Off road motorcycles are something alien to most Indians. So far now we have never had any history of an off road bike being commercially successful in India. To most of us, any motorcycle with raised suspension and minimalistic body work is a “Dirt Bike”.
Dirt bikes are not legal as street bikes because of their pollution norms.
Pure off road/Motocross motorcycles do not have headlamp, tail lamp, speedometer or rear view mirror
As in the above image we can see dirt bikes have high raised and flat seats.
Above is a Kawasaki Dirt Bike which is use in MOTOCROSS championship and as this one all the dirt bikes all houses larger front wheel.
[Note:
Back in the early-mid 90’s Bajaj did try to sell a “Dual purpose/On-off road” model called Enduro SX and Hero Motors did try to sell a BMW model called F650GS in India. But both models flopped badly]
