I would vouch for most of the biking enthusiasts to have a liking for cruisers(like Harley, Triumph, Commando, RE, etc.) and the most affordable one with a history in India has to be the Royal Enfield. I had a liking for bikes from school days, but due to various reasons, had to be content with a scooter from the time I got a license to ride. I had my first shot at a bike in 2002, during my college days, when Bajaj released the "Definitely Male - Pulsar". My parents were always convinced about my safe driving/riding skills and agreed to gift me a purple Pulsar 150 KS. I had been running it for 10 years without many niggles, but the itch to ride a cruiser always remained in my mind and was determined to buy a Royal Enfield.
