I am 50 years old and my height is 5′11″. I enjoy long rides. Between the Harley X440 and the Meteor 350, which bike is better for me?

Both the Harley Davidson X440 and the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 are similar in some ways, in that both use simple, air-cooled engines and aren't overly sporty. However, the bigger Harley has a clear performance advantage, which will be useful when you need to make an overtake at highway speeds.

Its 6-speed gearbox will also ensure that the engine stays smooth and relaxed at 100-110kph. It is something the smaller Royal Enfield bike won't be able to sustain so comfortably.

If you are the sort of rider who rarely ventures over 80-90kph, then the more affordable Meteor 350 would be a good fit.

Hi, I want to buy an EV under 15 lakh for 3500km monthly running.

With a budget of Rs 15 lakh and 3,500 km a month, you are a textbook case for an EV. At this budget, the Tata Nexon EV is the most sensible choice. It offers a good balance of range, practicality and value, and Tata’s EV ecosystem is now well established. The Nexon EV is also one of the few cars in this price bracket that can genuinely handle your kind of monthly running without range anxiety becoming a daily concern.If you can stretch your budget slightly, the Kia Syros EV is worth considering. It offers a more spacious cabin and a more premium overall experience, which makes a difference if you are spending long hours in the car every month.The key point here is that at 3,500 km a month, the fuel savings from an EV will add up very quickly, and both the Nexon EV and Syros EV are well suited to high-mileage ownership.

Even with a substantial discount, charging access and highway range would matter more to me. If home charging isn't convenient, EV makes no sense.

Poor charging infra and the hassle to charge on highways is a real pain. Also, if you cannot have a home charger, then it is expensive and a menace to charge at the outdoor stations
