I am planning to buy either tvs rr310 or ninja 300. Took a test drive of ninja 300 and was more than satisfied. I'm 5'6" and it felt very comfortable sitting and driving on test ride. Tvs didn't offer test drive of rr310. What should i do? Go for ninja 300? What would be real world mileage of each of these in the city? My daily drive is around 12-15 kms. Also what would be the estimated AMC every year? Kawasaki is offering 50k discount on 2024 model. Should I buy that or 2026 model? I read online that 2024 model is not e20 compliant. Really confused.

The ex-showroom price of the Kawasaki Ninja 300 is Rs 3.17 lakh, pan-India, and we guess that you and the dealer are getting your wires crossed with regards to ex-showroom and on-road pricing. Many people say off-road when they mean on-road. Ask the dealer for a clean breakup with ex-showroom, road tax/RTO, insurance, and every add-on listed separately. Remove anything you don’t want, and you’ll see the number drop a bit, but it most likely won’t get anywhere near the figure you're being quoted for a new Ninja 300 in India today.

Since you have said you want comfort, we'd recommend you rule out the KTM 390 Duke. The Duke can be usable on a day-to-day basis, but it is a stiffly sprung and sporty machine that's also rather cramped for taller folks and especially coming from the Meteor, could prove too uncomfortable.The Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is a good choice, which will balance performance and comfort, although there will be a short adjustment period for you before you completely gel with it. We'd recommend going for the Apex variant, which comes with grippier Vredestein rubber that is better than the standard variant's CEAT shoes.The KTM 390 Adventure is a great bike for long-distance travelling, and if that is going to be the main reason behind your purchase, then it makes sense. However, inside the city, it can feel a little too buzzy, and its fuel economy isn't great either. Do bear in mind that KTMs comes with stiff seats and you will either have to adapt to it or get it fixed in the aftermarket.Since you are already considering the 390 Adventure, it would make sense to also look at the Himalayan 450. This is the more rounded of the two machines in our experience, and its ride comfort is unparalleled at this price point. Its size and weight will take some getting used to, but if you are okay with it, then this is a machine definitely worth considering.Take test rides of all before you go ahead with your purchase, so you make an informed decision.

Since you travel around 30km on the highway every day, the TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh makes more sense because its larger battery pack gives you a substantial range buffer, meaning you won't need to charge it very often.At higher highway speeds, EVs tend to consume more energy than they do in city conditions, where speeds are generally lower. In that regard, a larger battery pack is a significant advantage.On top of that, the iQube is as straightforward and easy-going as an electric scooter can be. It feels very much like a conventional scooter to ride and live with, apart from the EV-specific traits of silent operation and instant torque. It has also built a strong reputation in the market, with very few issues reported so far, and it benefits from the backing of an established manufacturer like TVS.
