I am confused between the Honda Hornet 125 and the Hero Xtreme 125. My daily commute is 25-30 km, and my budget is ₹1.50 lakh. Please help me decide.

Asked by: Mosin

Both the bikes you are considering are some of the best machines in their class. So you're already starting from a very good point; therefore, here on out, it will depend on which bike fits you better as per your physique and has the features and look you prefer more.

The Honda CB125 Hornet has some unique features like the golden USD fork, a crisp TFT display and excellent fuel economy. However, it can feel a little tight for larger riders, so depending on your height, it may not be the best option for you. 

The Hero Xtreme 125R is the only bike in the class to offer you dual-channel ABS on select variants. Also, it is a little more affordable than the Honda bike, so if those things matter to you, then this makes for a better purchase. 

A test ride of both will help you decide which is better for you.

I have been associated with Hyundai for the last 25 years, but this time I am confused between the Hyundai Creta and the Honda Elevate. My running is less than 1,000 km per month and I don’t need a diesel engine. Kindly advise.

Both cars will be a safe choice for you. The Honda Elevate is a good option if you are on a tighter budget, as even its lower variants are well equipped. If you are looking at an automatic, the most affordable option is the V variant, which is almost a lakh cheaper than the similarly specced Hyundai Creta EX(O).The Creta, on the other hand, justifies its higher price as you move up the range. It offers more premium features such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats and Level 2 ADAS. So, if premium features matter to you, the Creta is the better choice.

Asked by: Mihir Panchal

Can you guide me between the Yamaha Fascino S 125 Hybrid top model and the Suzuki Access 125 TFT top model in terms of long-term reliability, comfort, ease of riding, maintenance costs, and performance? The scooter will be used by my wife 70% of the time. We have a baby girl who is currently 7 months old, so I am looking for a good family scooter for the long term.

First off, both the scooters you are looking at are proven products from reputed Japanese makes, so in the end, whichever one you decide to go with, you should, by and large, have a good experience. The Suzuki Access is a stellar family scooter option because it has traditional strengths like comfort, practicality, fuel efficiency and a reputation for reliability. Also, it is rather fun to ride with its peppy engine and balanced handling. It also has a bigger underseat storage area, which is a USP in comparison to the Yamaha Fascino 125.The Fascino's strong points are that it is exceptionally fuel efficient and it is one of the lightest two-wheelers on sale in the country today. If those are important to you and your wife, then the Yamaha would make for a sensible purchase.A test ride of both will help you decide which is the better fit for you.

Asked by: Nikki

I'm looking to buy a new bike, currently I'm using activa 125 to commute daily to my office. The total commuting distance is 63 kms so I'm looking for bike or scooter which is comfortable and doesn't cause body pains. I'm 5.10ft and around 90kg. Open for any vehicle upto 160cc. Please advise.

In the 150-160cc commuter bike space, you have a good variety of options from different brands to choose from. Among the straightforward, simple commuter options, bikes like the Honda Unicorn / SP160 and Yamaha FZ models will be a good fit with their excellent fuel economy as well as comfortable ride and seating position. If you want something a little sportier, you could even consider the Bajaj Pulsar N160, which will also give you some features like a USD fork, which isn't found in most other bikes in the class. The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is also a great option, but it can feel a little cramped, especially in the leg region. So we would recommend a test ride for all of these bikes before you decide. Since you have a longer commute, with its longer suspension and bigger wheels, a motorcycle will be more comfortable than a scooter, so we recommend going with a bike only.
