I want to replace my 2017 Dominar 400, but I can’t buy a new one since it’s over my budget. I enjoy riding at triple-digit speeds on highways. Please suggest a suitable replacement under ₹2 lakh (ex-showroom).

Considering your budget and familiarity with the Bajaj Dominar 400, you can look at the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z. It recently received updates with more power and better cycle parts, and despite the GST 2.0 changes, its price hasn’t increased.

I booked the TVS Apache RTX 300 on May 17th, but it has been almost six months and I have not received any updates. Should I continue to wait, or should I go with the KTM 390 Adventure?

It's disappointing to see that the long waiting periods for the TVS Apache RTX 300 persist even more than a year after its launch, and we completely understand your decision to switch to a different bike. Before you do so, we recommend reaching out to your dealer one last time for a concrete update, and also reaching out to the brand via social media or an official email address. Hopefully, this should resolve your problem.If not, the KTM 390 Adventure is a capable, comfortable, and feature-loaded bike which will also serve you well, although it will be quite a bit more expensive than the RTX.

Hey Autocar, I am a college student planning to get either an electric scooter or a motorcycle. I travel around 25 to 30 km every day, usually with a friend. I need to carry several items, including two helmets and bags. My budget is around Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 2 lakh. I live in an apartment and can get the charging setup settled, but I am unsure which vehicle to get. Thanks in advance!

You should look at electric scooters with 3kWh battery packs, which will give you a more than sufficient real-world range of around 100km on a single charge and should also come in around the Rs 1.50 lakh mark. In the e-scooter market, you should look at market frontrunners such as the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Konarc (or even the Rizta) and Vida VX2 models. These are all proven options from reputed makes, and it would make sense to go for one that has a sales and service point near your residence or college campus for ease of ownership. Of them all, the Rizta and Chetak have the most well-designed and spacious boots, with the Konarc and iQube trailing them closely. Depending on the battery variant you choose, the Vida is either on par with the Konarc/iQube or slightly below it, but you should have decent storage on all. Take test rides of these before you make a decision.

I am 48 years old and looking to buy a motorcycle for my daily commute and occasional touring. I have the Pulsar N250 in mind. Is it suitable for me? What other light motorcycles should I consider if I do not want to stretch my budget much beyond Rs 2 lakh?

The Bajaj Pulsar N250SS is a budget-friendly, capable, and comfortable motorcycle that is likely to be a good fit for your needs. You should also look at the TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350, as well as the base Battalion Black Bullet 350. These neo-retro bikes place more emphasis on engine character and comfort, and all of them should be around the Rs 2 lakh mark (on-road). Take test rides of all and see which one suits your riding style and stature best before you make a decision.

Hi Autocar India, I have a budget of 1 lakh 50 thousand for a new bike, and a 125cc motorcycle suits my requirements. I’ve shortlisted the Bajaj Pulsar 125 and the Honda SP 125, but I’m confused between the two. Which one would you recommend?

•2d

Both the Bajaj Pulsar 125 and Honda SP125 are great commuter bikes, and it's hard to go wrong with either. The latest Pulsar 125 is a refined, feature-loaded (the top variants, especially so) and decently comfortable machine which should be fuel efficient and reliable in the long run as well. The SP125 has largely remained the same since its BS6 update, gaining only a few features and new colours - it is largely a Shine 125 in different clothes, which means it should be a straightforward and dependable workhorse of a commuter. As we said at the outset, it's hard to go wrong with either, so make sure you get a test ride and see which one you like more before you make your decision. It would also be wise to choose an option that has a sales & service touchpoint near your office or residence.

I am looking for a non-sporty motorcycle with excellent pillion comfort within a budget of Rs. 2 lakh. I am primarily a city commuter with occasional long-distance highway trips. I feel the TVS Ronin suits my requirements, but I am worried about its after-sales service. Please provide some suggestions.

•20h

The TVS Ronin is a good option to consider for your needs but you are right to be worried about TVS' aftersales because unlike its impressive products, it is rather hit or miss. Nonetheless, this remains an option you should consider, do visit your nearest TVS dealership and service centre and try to get some assurances from them before you go ahead with your purchase.In a similiar vein, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 too is a sweet and charming motorcycle which will suit your needs rather well. Royal Enfield has a widespread service network and the bike has been around long enough that you can trust it without major issues cropping up. Another underrated option that you should seriously consider is the newly launched Bajaj Pulsar N250SS. The Pulsar may look sporty and angular but it has a very neutral riding position, good suspension and a capable engine which can handle both city & highway duties. A test ride of all three should help you determine which is the best bike for your needs.

I’m planning to buy an entry-level adventure bike, mostly for my 30 km daily commute in Pune, along with weekend rides of more than 200 km once or twice a month. I’m confused between the Honda NX200 and the TVS Apache RTX 300. I’m 45 years old and 5 ft 9 in tall. I’ve had lumbar problems in the past, but I’m fine now. Which one would you recommend?

If you are looking for a comfortable ADV motorcycle, the TVS Apache RTX and Hero Xpulse 210 should be on your radar in this price range. The Honda NX200 is a dressed-up Hornet 2.0 and, aside from its look, isn't a 'proper' adventure bike. Both the RTX & the Xpulse are capable, comfortable and quick motorcycles, with the latter being the easier of the two to ride and manage - given that both have a tall 835mm seat height. However, the RTX has the better road manners and the far superior feature set. Take a test ride of both before you make your decision.It would also be prudent to wait for the Honda XR300 Rally, which should be available in a BigWing showroom near you in a few months' time.
