While both the Honda CB350RS and Triumph Speed T4 look similar and are priced quite close to each other, they have different riding experiences. The Triumph Speed T4 is powered by a liquid-cooled engine making 31hp and 36 N · m of torque, with a focus on low and mid-range grunt and tractability. Even so, its performance and handling ceiling will be noticeably more than the CB350RS, which is powered by a 349cc, air-cooled engine making 21hp and 30Nm of torque. The Speed T4 also has a sixth gear, which means on the highway at faster speeds, its engine will feel smoother.
We recommend taking a test ride of both to see which one suits you better.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to buy a new motorcycle this year. I am 39 years old, 5'10", and currently dealing with some upper back pain issues. My daily ride is the office commute to Hinjewadi (Pune), which involves heavy stop-and-go traffic. I’m looking for a bike that is comfortable enough for my back but won't feel boring after 5 years, something that suits a 45-year-old’s personality as well. I am currently confused between the Triumph Speed T4 (the new entry in the 350cc segment), the Honda H'ness CB350, and the Speed 400. I’m also considering waiting for the rumored Bonneville 350. Given the traffic and my back issues, which of these offers the best balance of ergonomics and long-term character? Open to suggestions.

The Honda CB350 H'ness and Triumph Speed T4 offer similar riding experience with their relaxed engines and upright ergonomics, although the T4 will be quicker owing to its more powerful engine. The Speed 400 is a cut above in terms of performance and handling but it doesn't really come at the expense of comfort. You should take a test ride of these three before you choose so you can figure out which one is best for you.Additionally, we'd also recommend you look at the Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic 350 because these bikes are very comfortable, offer upright riding positions and a plush suspension setup. Yes, these are heavier and slower than the aforementioned bikes but for city use, the 350cc Royal Enfields are something that fit the bill perfectly and as you've put it, won't feel "boring" after a longer period as long as you don't demand frenetic performance.

I’m planning to upgrade from my current 125cc bike and have test-ridden a few options, including the Honda CB350RS, Honda Hness CB350, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, and the Harley-Davidson X440 (S and T variants). I found the riding posture of the CB350RS and Guerrilla 450 a bit too aggressive for my comfort. I really liked both the Hness CB350 and Meteor 350, but I am personally more inclined towards the X440 because of its handling and engine feel. However, I am confused between the S and T variants of the X440. The T variant offers ride-by-wire and has a cleaner look, but I am concerned about the bar-end mirrors and some plastic parts at the rear. In Indian parking conditions, bar-end mirrors seem prone to damage and could be expensive to replace, and I have been told there is no option to switch to conventional mirrors. Given that my usage will mostly be city riding (15–20 km daily) with occasional highway trips, does ride-by-wire make a significant difference in real-world usage over time? Is it worth choosing the T variant despite these concerns, or would the S variant be a more practical choice?

If you don't mind the look of the Harley-Davidson X440 S, then you should go ahead and buy that bike. Conventional mirrors are easier to use and during lane filtering, they don't protrude as much as bar-end ones. The ride-by-wire throttle on the X440 T does not offer any significant real-world advantage over the S variant's cable throttle, nor does it bring in significant improvements in performance in this application. The only reason to consider the T variant would be its improved fit and finish, a more cohesive tail section design and slightly better controlled suspension damping.

I am very confused about which scooter to buy: Honda Activa 110 or TVS Ntorq 125/150. Kindly guide me so that I can make a decision. My usage includes both city riding and long highway rides.

Since your usage includes both city riding and highway runs, we would strongly recommend you go with the TVS Ntorq 150. The bigger Ntorq's engine can sustain 70-90kph easily on the highway, it is a stable and comfortable machine even at higher speeds, and most importantly, comes with the safety net of single-channel ABS, which will protect you in case you encounter a situation where you need to jam on the brakes.Be aware that since the Ntorq 150 has a large engine, its fuel economy is likely to be much lower than the 110-125cc options in the mainstream market. Although in isolation, when ridden sensibly, it does return good fuel efficiency.If budget is a constraint and you still want a scooter with ABS and one that returns good fuel economy, look no further than the top 2 variants of the latest-gen Suzuki Access 125. The Access remains the only 125cc scooter to offer you single-channel ABS from a reputed and established brand in India. It is also a well-sorted, comfortable and fuel-efficient scooter which has carved out its reputation for being reliable, so realistically over a longer ownership period, you shouldn't face many surprises.Decide how much you need to spend on your next purchase and take a test ride of the Access and Ntorq before you make a decision.
