Please advise on the best lightweight scooter for a female rider.

•18w

One of the lightest ICE scooters in India is the TVS Zest 110, which weighs just 102kg and has just a 760mm seat height, attributes that should make it very approachable for those vertically challenged.

Even popular options like the Honda Activa, Suzuki Access and TVS Jupiter are manageable in terms of weight, weighing between 105-106kg and low seat heights ranging between 760-780mm. These should also be easy to manage while being more feature rich than the Zest, which is now a fundamentally very old product.

Since you're keen on getting a scooter that's easy to manage, take test rides of all four before you make your 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.

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.

•21h

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.

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’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?

•2d

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?

•2d

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.
