- No. ITC not available.

No...you can't claim itc... If you would purchase a vehicle for transportation of goods / passengers..or imparting training ..then it was possible to claim ITC ... You have purchased the bike for delivering medicines .. You are not in transport business for transporting medicines or passengers.so according to section 17 (5)(a) you can not claim itc 

If your business is purchasing and selling bike then you can .. If you have purchased bike for imparting training then you can get ..otherwise not
No you cannot claim ITC As it's block U/s 17(5). Even though it's being used in delivering medicine , because as per the Defination of Motor Vehicle this vehicle not meant for the transportation of Goods. Hence cannot avail ITC
