Hi, I am currently planning to buy a 400cc bike. I have shortlisted the NS400Z, Duke 390 and the Speed T4. I will be using the bike only occasionally, mostly for 100-150km rides. Please suggest which one I should go for.

Asked by: Sohail
All three bikes you've shortlisted are quite different to one another, so the bike you should choose entirely depends on your riding style and intended purpose.
The Triumph Speed T4 has the most relaxed and effortless riding experience with its torquey engine and upright, neutral ergonomics.
The KTM 390 Duke is its polar opposite, with its peaky single-cylinder engine dishing out the most power, and its chassis will be superb if you intend to do a lot of twisty road riding. Do bear in mind that its suspension is on the stiffer side, which will be felt when going over road imperfections.
Lastly, the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z splits the difference between the two in terms of power, features and handling and is also the most affordable bike you've shortlisted.
We recommend taking a test ride of the bikes you've shortlisted before making a decision.

Hi, I’m planning to buy my first car, which I won’t be driving regularly. My budget is under ₹14 lakh on-road. I’m looking for a fun-to-drive car and don’t need it to be family-focused. I’m open to both manual and automatic transmissions, whichever is more engaging to drive and fun.

The Skoda Kylaq will be the perfect choice for your requirements. It has a punchy 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and is available in both a manual gearbox and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.The Kylaq has compact dimensions and has a well-balanced chassis that makes the car great fun to drive. The handling is particularly impressive, and it has a good build too. The Prestige variant in manual guise will fit in your budget, while the Signature+ AT variant works if you prefer the automatic.

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.
