SBI superbike loan scheme: How many people around you own a superbike? No matter how cool they look, the harsh reality is that only a select few have the luxury to buy them. To buy a superbike you need an amount that is similar to what would buy you a hatchback. While all the major banks offer car loans to help you buy your dream car, the same cannot be said about bikes. But, India's largest bank by the number of customers and asset size, State Bank of India aims to change that. To make superbikes more accessible, SBI offers a superbike loan scheme under which an individual can take a minimum loan of Rs 2.5 lakh with a maximum repayment tenure of 5 years.
