None of the brands here charge recurring royalty — the economics run purely on product margin or fixed monthly fees, which is rare in Indian franchising and favourable for operators.
Hero MotoCorp has 1.5× more outlets than Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (10000 vs 6500) — more brand recognition and supplier scale, but also denser intra-brand competition in saturated markets.
Space requirements differ substantially: Suzuki Motorcycle India operates from 2000+ sqft while Royal Enfield needs 4000+ sqft. In metro CBDs where commercial rent is ₹300–600/sqft/month, that difference alone can swing your break-even by 18–24 months.

FRANticc's store locator on each brand page shows existing cities — if a brand already has 3+ outlets in your tier, expansion policy likely permits new franchises there.
