What is a good upgrade from a Bajaj Avenger 150?

I have been using a Bajaj Avenger 150 for the last 5 plus years and have covered around 40,000km on it. The bike has performed with nearly zero issues till now but now things have changed. I use it primarily for commuting daily for around 15 kms. Now I want to buy a new two wheeler preferably a scooter and for that I have chosen theTVS Ntorq 125 Race XP model. Is it a good buy or should I go for another bike like the Pulsar N160 for my daily commute?

Autocar India says: Whether you wish to go for a scooter or bike is a decision you need to take based on what your needs and expectations are. A scooter will always be more convenient and practical with its storage space and automatic transmission. Iit can also be shared more easily with other family members. A bike like the one you have mentioned will offer you much better performance and more stability and comfort if your commute has bad roads. A bike will also make for a much more enjoyable option for weekend rides outside the city. Finally, with its ABS, the bike will also have a better safety net on offer.

Both the vehicles you have mentioned are very impressive. In the scooter market, the TVS Ntorq Race XP is currently the most fun to ride option at that price and it has great features along with good performance and comfort. However, if you simply want a comfortable and practical scooter with good performance and great fuel efficiency, the Suzuki Access 125 is hard to beat.

As for the bikes, the Pulsar N160 is one of the best machines in the segment and if you are already happy with the Bajaj ownership experience then it's an easy bike for us to recommend.
