Hi, I have a 2014 Vespa S 125 and am planning to replace it with the Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6. Is it worth the switch? Also, what does your long-term report on the Flying Flea C6 say?

•3m

Royal Enfield's Flying Flea C6 is an unconventional yet thoughtfully engineered and well-developed electric bike. It's not a high-volume product in terms of sales, nor has it been on sale for very long, so its long-term reliability is a bit of an unknown at this point. From what we experienced, this is a lightweight and zippy electric bike with realistic range for long commutes and even a short Sunday ride - provided you have charging at your destination or somewhere along the way.

The one big bugbear we have with the C6 is that its seat is just very uncomfortable for anything over 30 minutes, and unless you're really skinny, this will be a problem for you too. We'd suggest you take an exhaustive test ride and speak to other C6 owners if you can to understand what this machine is like to live with. If you find the C6's seating comfort isn't a problem, go ahead with your purchase. If not, its platform sibling, the Flying Flea S6 scrambler should launch in the coming months, and it promises a better seat and more rough-road-ready manners with similar weight, performance and range.

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?

•4d

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.

In the Konarc S 161, we get a 450W charger, while the Konarc S 100 comes with a charging cable. I would like to know whether the top-spec Konarc S 161 comes with both the charging cable and the 450W charger as separate accessories. This would allow us to use the charging cable independently when we do not wish to use the 450W charger. Could you please clarify?

The Konarc is the first Ather electric scooter debut an on-board charger - a 450W unit. No matter which variant you choose, the Konarc comes with this tech as standard. There is also onle one charging socket available and whether you use just the cable to charge the scooter via the onboard charger or the 450W offboard charger + the 450W onboard charger, you plug the scooter in the same way. The top Konarc S 161 that you're eyeing will come with the onboard charger and 450W offboard charger as standard and you have the option to charge it using both. If you use just the onboard charger, your charging speed will be slower, but if you use both, then it will effectively take half the time for the same amount of charge. We have a short video explaining this and would encourage you to take a look to clear any doubts you may have: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dcp-yxySTCs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&srtk=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

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.

I’m a 40-year-old man, 6 ft 4 in tall and of slim build, and I’ve never ridden a motorcycle before. I don’t have a commute, since I live on a residential campus, so the bike will be for fun weekend rides. I’m considering the Honda XR 300 Rally Edition, because I don’t want to spend much more than Rs 2 lakh and its power-to-weight ratio is good. As a first-time rider, I want a light bike that can survive falls and drops without much damage. I also live in a non-metro city, where service and maintenance can be a problem, so I’m choosing Honda for its reliability. Is this the right choice, or have I missed anything?

The Honda XR300 Rally you're considering seems to have quite a lot going for it, judging from what we know of it so far. Another alternative you could consider is the Hero Xpulse 210, which has been around for far longer and is more of a proven commodity than the XR300 Rally. It's not as if the Xpulse is free from issues, but they are well documented and usually have a quick and inexpensive fix. Given that the XR300 Rally is a brand-new product, there could be small teething issues at the start, although given the badge on the tank, you're likely to be in safe hands in terms of the ownership experience, even if there are.

I’m deciding between the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and the Honda CB350RS. Which one is better in terms of riding position, riding comfort, fuel economy, service network in Chennai, longevity, frequency of problems and build quality?

•6d

Answering based on the things you have asked for, in ascending order:1) Depending on your stature, you will have different feelings about the rider's triangle on the RE Hunter 350 and CB350RS2) Both bikes have well-sorted suspension setups, so they will fare quite well. 3) Fuel economy depends on your riding style, prevailing traffic & weather conditions as well as a multitude of other factors, so it's hard to give you an accurate number. That being said, the Honda 350cc engine is known to be quite frugal (even in our experience), in comparison to the RE 350cc motor. 4) Local service is again a very subjective issue, even for people who reside in the same city and go to the same workshop, so we can't accurately comment on that. Historically speaking, both RE & Honda are known to have largely trouble-free service experiences. 5), 6) & 7) Both the Hunter and CB350RS are high-quality, reliable machines, and you will likely not go wrong with either of them, barring any isolated unit-specific issues.
