I have a daily commute of 55 km, and while riding my Unicorn my back and hands have started hurting. I am looking at bikes in the 350 cc segment that can provide better comfort for my back and hands. Please suggest a good bike - will the Honda CB350RS be a good choice?

Since you already own a Unicorn, stepping up to the Honda CB350RS is a logical move. The CB350RS is a reasonably comfortable machine with a smooth engine and should offer you more riding comfort and enjoyment than your Unicorn. That being said, it is worth checking out its siblings - the base CB350 and the CB350 H'ness - because all three, while mechanically very similar, have different riding positions and price points. We would recommend getting the one that you find the most comfortable on account of your long daily commute.

Other options also worth taking a look at are the TVS Ronin and the Royal Enfield Hunter / Classic / Bullet 350. These are comfortable, reasonably fuel-efficient and reliable bikes which will be a good fit for you.

A test ride of these will help you figure out which is the best option for you.

I am 5ft 4 inches in height. Which Royal Enfield would be suitable for me so that I don't have to tiptoe? I was thinking Meteor 350.

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has a very manageable 765mm seat height, which should suit your stature. But if you want the lowest 350cc Royal Enfield bike, then it would be the Goan Classic. The Goan has an even lower 750mm perch, which will be even easier to flatfoot.Do bear in mind that the Goan Classic's handlebars are taller than usual, and this is something you should pay attention to on a test ride. We'd advise taking test rides of both the Meteor and Goan and pick whichever one suits you best and the one you prefer the look of more.

I am planning to buy a reliable motorcycle that can cruise comfortably for long distances while also offering a great ownership experience in terms of reliability, fuel efficiency, and service costs. I am interested in the Suzuki V-Strom SX, but I feel a bit skeptical since it is now an older model. Is it still worth buying the V-Strom SX in 2026, or are there other motorcycles that can match the expectations I mentioned above?

The Suzuki V-Strom SX may be a dated machine, but it is a great option for someone who wants a relaxed, reliable and fuel-efficient touring machine. If you are open to considering other form factors aside from the adventure bike style, there are some other machines that will fit the bill for your usage as well. In the neo-retro space, the TVS Ronin, Honda CB350 models and Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 will be good options to consider with their relaxed riding triangles, smooth and torquey engines, as well as plush suspension setups. These bikes won't be as fuel-efficient as the V-Strom, but the drop isn't going to be too drastic either. Take a test ride of these bikes before you make a decision.

I am planning to buy a scooter for my daughter for her short daily trips to tuition classes, which would be around 15-20 km per day. My priorities are low seat height, good balance, and a reliable machine. I am considering buying a second-hand scooter like the Suzuki Access 125 or TVS Jupiter for around ₹50,000. Do you think this would be a good decision, or should I instead consider buying an electric scooter, which would cost ₹1 lakh or more? Some friends suggested buying an assembled electric scooter, but I am not comfortable with that option due to concerns about safety and reliability. What would be the best option in my situation?

Since your daily running is quite low, you should look at a petrol scooter - preferably brand new, for the peace of mind and the manufacturer's warranty it will come with. We'd recommend looking at the base variants of the Honda Activa 110, Suzuki Acess and TVS Jupiter 110. All scooters will be friendly for a newer rider because of their low kerb weights and approachable seat heights. If, however, your budget doesn't permit you to go for a new scooter, then a pre-owned Activa or Access would be our recommendation. The Activa and Access are some of the most popular scooters available, and finding a good example will be fairly straightforward. Because of their popularity and widespread service network, sourcing replacement parts should also be quite easy.
