During 1990s, to own a vehicle was a matter of prestige. In those days, owning a scooter or motorcycle was also a big deal. On top of that, those who owned cars were considered among the elite class.
Let’s go back to the 1990s and refresh our memories about vehicles that ruled the Indian roads during that time.
1) Kinetic Honda:
What Yamaha RX 100 was for young boys, Kinetic Honda was for young girls during 1990s. It was Kinetic Honda that familiarised Indians to gearless scooters.
2) Maruti 800 Car:
This was indeed the first family car of India and also the first car for many Indians who started their career in 1990s.

During 1990s, you could find every other office going uncle in your locality, driving Bajaj Super. Known for low maintenance and durable body, Bajaj Super also had a high resale value
7) Luna:
