I work in real estate and currently drive a Mahindra TUV300 T8 (2016). It has been reliable and gives me around 17 kmpl. I drive 100-150 km daily and need something rugged and bad-road friendly. I often take rough paths, and because of the lack of a 4x4, I got stuck on multiple occasions. What should I upgrade to?

Since you haven't mentioned your budget, it'll be difficult to recommend the right car for you. That said, the Mahindra Scorpio N and Thar Roxx seem like a logical upgrade from your current vehicle. Both of these Mahindra cars feel more modern, more refined, and polished.

Hi, I am confused between the Harley-Davidson X440, Honda CB350 and TVS Apache RTX 300. I am 40 years old, and my daily usage is around 30km. I want to start touring on a motorcycle, with rides of around 350km, and pillion comfort is important. I have mostly been riding an Ntorq scooter and consider myself a beginner since it has been a long time since I rode a bike. Please advise.

Since you consider yourself a beginner, the TVS Apache RTX 300 may not be the best fit. It is a tall and top-heavy machine, which can rob newer riders of confidence. However, as a package, it is the most well-rounded machine of the three bikes you are considering, especially when it comes to touring with a pillion onboard.The Honda CB350RS and Harley-Davidson X440 are neo-retro roadsters with torquey engines, upright ergonomics and decently plush suspension, which will make for a better fit for a newer, less experienced rider like yourself with their low seat heights and therefore, centre of gravity too. For similar reasons, the Royal Enfield Bullet and Classic 350 are also worth considering. We recommend you take a thorough test ride of everything you're considering with a pillion onboard before making a purchase.

I commute 76km daily and am considering the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 or the Interceptor 650. Please suggest which bike would be better for my usage. I am also open to alternatives.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 would be a far more comfortable option than the Interceptor 650, especially for your long daily commute due to its plush and sophisticated suspension, upright ergonomics and some wind protection. It will also be more fuel-efficient, which is something that will be important given your high daily running.In a similar vein, we would also recommend you look at the new Royal Enfield Scram 440 because it has great comfort - aside from the seat, which is a quick and inexpensive fix - as well as decent performance and fuel economy at a much lower price than both the Himalayan and the Interceptor.If you want to look outside the Royal Enfield brand, bikes like the Hero Xpulse 210, and TVS Apache RTX 300 will be our recommendations for their plush suspension, good fuel economy and upright rider's triangles.A test ride of these bikes should help you decide which is the best fit for you.

Hi all! I am planning to buy a KTM 200 Duke. I see fewer 200 Dukes on the road compared to the 250. Is there any reason to avoid the 200 Duke? Should I instead go for the Duke 250 or any similar bike under ₹2.5 lakh?

The KTM 200 Duke still remains a wonderful entry-level sport naked to buy even after all these years, and since it is based on the Gen 2 Duke architecture, it is actually a more spacious machine - which is a helpful thing for taller riders - than the 250 Duke.However, aside from that, the 250 Duke is a step up over its younger sibling in just about every measurable parameter and is a very engaging machine to ride.In the context of truly sporty naked bikes, aside from the KTMs mentioned above, you really don't have many other options. If you want a different riding experience from the 250 Duke with similar performance levels, then the Triumph Speed T4 is an option to consider.Take a test ride of these bikes to determine which is the best for you.
