Hello, I am an avid Autocar India reader and a regular visitor to www.autocarindia.com. I also enjoy your podcasts. I wish to buy a 100cc motorcycle. Currently, I ride a Honda Dio and previously used the Splendor and Platina. Now, I have shortlisted the Honda Shine 100 and the TVS Sport. My usage will be strictly city-centric, approximately 10 to 40 km daily. My expectations are comfort, good suspension, easy maintenance, fuel efficiency, and reliability. Kindly guide me. Thank you.

First of all, thank you for your patronage. We truly appreciate it. Coming to your query, both the Honda Shine 100 DX and TVS Sport will be frugal, practical and comfortable machines that will likely last you for a long time and return great fuel economy.

Since the TVS uses a slightly larger 110cc engine compared to the Honda, which has a 99cc mill, expect the TVS Sport to have slightly more pep. Take a test ride of both machines before you decide.

I am thinking of buying the Honda NX500 E-Clutch, but the Rebel 500 E-Clutch is also expected to launch this year, with localisation. Should I wait until the NX500 E-Clutch is localised, possibly by the first quarter of 2027? Will it be manufactured locally?

So far, Honda hasn't announced any plans to localise the NX500 E-Clutch, and in fact, even the Rebel 500 E-Clutch isn't fully localised yet. Its engine is still entirely imported. Considering that the Rebel 500 has yet to receive a price tag and its deliveries are certainly some time away, you can put to bed any notions of the NX500 being localised anytime soon.

Hi, I am a 3rd-year student and am confused between two bikes, the Meteor 350 and the Hunter 350. I am 5'6 and 64 kg. I am a beginner, just learning to ride a bike from my father on his Splendor. I would like to use it in cities and on highways.

Given the fact that you are a beginner, the more affordable, lighter and smaller RE Hunter 350 will be a better fit than the heavier Meteor. Another factor working in the Hunter's favour is that its riding position is very neutral and its suspension is supple, which will make it adept at tackling bad roads without passing on the jolt to the rider's back. The Meteor, with its feet-forward riding position, will transmit more of the road imperfections to your back.

Kawasaki Z300 is launched in India at more than 3 lakhs. Do you think this makes sense and will people buy it?

Hi, I am planning to purchase the new Dominar 400 (350) but since Bajaj is rolling out a new 5-inch TFT, Golden USDs and new colors in the bike, I am waiting for its update. Do you think that it is worth waiting for? What could be the expected launch time for the updated Bajaj Dominar 400 with the new 5-inch TFT?

It is reasonable to expect that the latest slew of updates to Bajaj's motorcycles will eventually make their way to the 350cc Dominar 400, although the brand has made no indication towards this actually being the case. Its platform sibling, the Pulsar NS400Z, recently received this same update as well. If you are planning to purchase the Dominar, we'd recommend you go ahead with your decision because there's no confirmed information regarding when the bike will receive these features and you could potentially be looking at rather a long wait.
