The Honda NX500 is a great middleweight ADV with a refined engine, good ride and handling and being a Japanese bike, it will last you a long time while being relatively easy to maintain too. Its asking price is quite steep, but for some, its reliability and low ownership costs are worth that tradeoff.Coming to whether you should buy a more exciting big bike, that is a question only you can answer for yourself. Big bikes are exciting, capable and striking things to own, but also have high maintenance costs, lower fuel economy and any replacement parts you might need are usually pricey and not readily available.If that sounds like something you can live with, then you can save up and buy a bigger adventure bike like the Honda XL750 Transalp, Triumph Tiger 900, Suzuki V-Strom 800DE or Ducati Multistrada V2.

The Yamaha RayZR 125 Fi Street Rally will feel like a small step up from your Xoom in terms of performance while continuing to return good fuel efficiency because of its hybrid assist, stop/start system and light weight. Yamaha products are known for their reliability, refinement and aren't expensive to maintain, so the Ray is a good option to consider.The TVS Ntorq 150 will feel like a big step up from your Xoom 110 because of its exciting and brisk performance. Do bear in mind that fuel efficiency will take a big hit if you ride enthusiastically, and that TVS doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to after-sales service. However, as a fun-to-ride scooter, you'll struggle to do much better than the Ntorq today.

Since you have had a good experience with your Honda Hornet, you could stick with the same brand and step up to any of the Honda CB350 models. All are mechanically very similar, and picking between the three comes down largely to which one you prefer the look of, as well as pricing. All three are comfortable, torquey, well-finished and decently fuel-efficient machines. If you want to switch things up, Royal Enfield has three 350cc machines which deserve your attention - Hunter, Bullet and Classic. The Hunter is the lightest and most agile machine of these three and will feel the smallest, too. The Bullet and Classic are considerably heavier and have commanding riding positions and great suspension. A test ride of all these 350s should help you decide which is the best option for you.

The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is a good car which offers a compact footprint but a decent amount of room inside, though the rear is best for two only, as the cabin is a bit narrow. Legroom and headroom are just fine. Given its slightly elevated stance, it's also easy to get in and out of, and the suspension does well over bad roads.It has been a while since Maruti last updated the Ignis, but if you are comfortable with that, you can go ahead with the purchase. Overall, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this Maruti car.
