I work in industrial product sales and travel around 80km daily. My budget for a bike is ₹2.5 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.

If you want a standard street bike, then in your price range, you can get machines like the Honda CB300F, Bajaj Pulsar N250, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Royal Enfield Hunter 350, and Yamaha XSR155. Depending on the look and comfort each bike offers you, you can pick and choose between them - all are proven, reliable machines from reputable makes, so you should be good in the long run, by and large.In the adventure bike class, the new TVS Apache RTX 300 and Hero Xpulse 210 make for good options to look at, and these two will be more comfortable and spacious than the roadsters suggested above, although if you are a shorter rider, their tall seats might not be ideal for you.Take a test ride of these bikes to see which one suits you best before making a decision.

I want to upgrade to a new bike in the 150 to 200cc range. I weigh 58kg and prefer a lightweight bike like the Shine SP. I want a stylish, retro-looking bike that offers good comfort for city commuting. I do not do long rides or off-road riding. I have a family, so pillion comfort is important, and a child may sit in front. I do not want a regular Shine, Pulsar or Unicorn. I like bikes such as the Hunter and Triumph, but they seem heavy for me. Please suggest suitable options.

If you want a neo-retro, lightweight bike in the 150-200cc displacement category, the Yamaha XSR155 fits the bill quite well. It returns excellent fuel economy, has punchy performance and is decently comfortable - except over bad patches of road where its stiff suspension does make its presence felt.Take a test ride of this Yamaha bike with your pillion to see if it feels suitable for your needs.

Between the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Yamaha XSR155 and TVS Ronin, which is best for city riding?

While the three bikes you've shortlisted are certainly comparable, they offer very different riding experiences. The Yamaha XSR155 is the sportiest of the lot, with stiff suspension and a slightly leaned-forward riding position. On poor city roads, this can get uncomfortable, although it is the lightest and most fuel-efficient option here.The TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 are roadsters with torquey engines and neutral ergonomics, as well as plush suspension, making them suited for city riding. Neither of these bikes can match the XSR’s fuel efficiency, though.A test ride of these 3 should help you decide which one suits you best.

Asked by: Sharath KS

Hi, I am confused between the Harley-Davidson X440, Honda CB350 and TVS Apache RTX 300. I am 40 years old, and my daily usage is around 30km. I want to start touring on a motorcycle, with rides of around 350km, and pillion comfort is important. I have mostly been riding an Ntorq scooter and consider myself a beginner since it has been a long time since I rode a bike. Please advise.

Since you consider yourself a beginner, the TVS Apache RTX 300 may not be the best fit. It is a tall and top-heavy machine, which can rob newer riders of confidence. However, as a package, it is the most well-rounded machine of the three bikes you are considering, especially when it comes to touring with a pillion onboard.The Honda CB350RS and Harley-Davidson X440 are neo-retro roadsters with torquey engines, upright ergonomics and decently plush suspension, which will make for a better fit for a newer, less experienced rider like yourself with their low seat heights and therefore, centre of gravity too. For similar reasons, the Royal Enfield Bullet and Classic 350 are also worth considering. We recommend you take a thorough test ride of everything you're considering with a pillion onboard before making a purchase.
