I’m looking to buy a motorcycle with strong low-end torque. Which would be better among the Goan Classic 350, CB350, Harley-Davidson X440 T, and Royal Enfield Scram 440? My usage will mostly be in the city, with rare long rides, and I’m not concerned about top speed.

For city use among the bikes you're looking at, the top two would be the Royal Enfield Scram 440 and Harley-Davidson X440 T. These bikes have large, long-stroke, single-cylinder engines, which will have the edge over the smaller 350s you're looking at. However, if most of your usage is inside the city, we'd recommend sticking with the 350cc roadsters from either Royal Enfield - Hunter/ Classic / Bullet - or Honda - in the form of its CB350 trio. These bikes will have more than enough grunt for city traffic and will also return more fuel economy. Take a test ride of these to see which one suits you best.

I am looking for a bike for daily commuting to the office under ₹2.50 lakh. Occasionally, I will go on trips with my wife, so my priority is pillion comfort. I have shortlisted the RE Meteor Fireball Grey and the Honda H’ness CB350. Kindly suggest, as my priority is rider and pillion comfort.

While the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 that you have shortlisted is a good place to start, we'd actually recommend its retro siblings, the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350. That's because the Meteor's more feet-forward and relaxed - lazier, if you will - riding position will put some stress on your tailbone after a while and more of the road bumps will filter through to your back. Instead, the Bullet and Classic with their neutral, upright ergonomics and spacious seats will be a better fit.In the Honda stable, we'd recommend you choose between the base CB350 and the CB350 H'ness because the CB350RS's seat isn't as spacious as its siblings.A test ride of these bikes with your preferred pillion will help you make an informed decision.

I want to upgrade from a Unicorn to a 350+cc comfortable ride machine. I have the CB350RS, Hunter and Ronin in mind. I am looking for a relaxed, plush ride. Should I wait for the Triumph 350 series or go with any of the above, or consider other alternatives?

The Bajaj-made 350cc Triumph bikes will be launched in the coming months, and going by our experience with the current 400cc bikes, it would make a lot of sense to wait and see how these turn out.The Honda CB350RS is a good option if you want a retro, relaxed and comfortable riding experience with modern styling and trademark Honda strengths of being easy to ride and own.The TVS Ronin is also a good option to consider because it has similar performance to the air-cooled 350s from Honda and Royal Enfield bikes, while being much more affordable to purchase. It also ticks the box of having plush ride quality, which is important for you.We'd recommend a test ride of the Ronin, CB350RS and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 if you want to purchase a bike immediately but if you can wait for some months, then the Triumph 350s could be the way to go.

I want a bike with an on-road price under ₹2 lakhs. I am mostly a city rider and currently have a Pulsar 135LS in good condition, but I want to change. My requirements are good mileage, a comfortable seat like the 135LS (not too high) for carrying two pillions at times, parts availability, low maintenance, and durability for long runs. I also ride highways occasionally (around 100 km). I am looking for a bike with power and style but with a gentlemanly character. I have my eyes on the Pulsar 220F. Is this a good choice?

The Bajaj Pulsar 220F you are considering is due for a generation change soon. We would recommend you don't buy this bike as it feels quite old and has been changed very little over the time it has been on sale.Instead, we would recommend bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N250, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Honda CB300F, TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350. All these have low seat heights, decent pillion comfort and are proven, reliable machines which will last you a long time. Take a test ride of these to see which one suits you best.
