I’m planning to exchange my bike. I work in the forest department and often ride through tough terrain in the Western Ghats. Is the Yezdi Adventure a good choice for my use case?

•1y

The recently updated Yezdi Adventure is a decent option in its segment, but we’d steer you toward the KTM 250 Adventure or TVS Apache RTX 300 instead.

Reason being, both of these machines are vastly lighter (nearly 20 kilos) than the Yezdi while bringing similar - if not more performance to the table. Then there is also the fact that Classic Legends has sadly garnered a reputation for less-than-stellar after-sales support, which is an important factor to consider.

All three bikes have comparable price tags, but the RTX's pricing is the easiest on the wallet if that is important to you.

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?

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.

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.

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 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 am looking for an electric or petrol scooter for a 58-year-old lady. Her monthly usage would be around 100km, and there is no specific budget constraint. A lightweight scooter with easy handling and comfortable riding ergonomics would be preferred. Please suggest some suitable options.

•4h

Since your usage is rather minimal, we'd recommend you go with a petrol-powered scooter. You should look at options like the TVS Zest 110, Yamaha Fascino/Yamaha RayZR and Honda Activa 110, which are all lightweight, simple and practical options with low seat heights. This will ensure the rider is able to command the vehicle with confidence and given that these are established products coming from reputed brands, you'll have no unwelcome surprises waiting for you. If you are open to buying an electric scooter, the TVS Orbiter is a good choice given your limited running and priority of ease of use. Take test rides before you make a decision.
