I am planning to buy a new Burgman Street scooter, but I have heard that a major facelift is coming. Could you help with the expected launch timeline? This would help me decide whether I should buy now or wait.

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.

In terms of real-world functionality, the LCD screen on the base variant of the Suzuki Burgman Street can do pretty much everything the higher variant's colour TFT screen can do. In typical Japanese fashion, both displays are well laid out with all the pertinent information, but aren't cluttered. The only situation where the TFT dash will have a leg up over the LCD screen is in the fact that it will be easier to read when the sun is directly overhead. But the screens aren't the only area of difference. The top variant of the Burgman also comes with a nifty keyless ignition system, which comes in handy on a day-to-day basis. For the small difference in asking price, these feel-good features more than make up for it in the long run, and we'd recommend you stretch for them if you can. On the flip side, the lower variant has the same mechanicals, colours and styling, so if you are on a strict budget and have no need for these frills, saving some money and buying the base model is also a good idea. It entirely depends on what sort of experience you're after.

Honestly, both bikes are great at their job and will suit your needs well, but they offer very different experiences. The Hunter 350 is a very different Royal Enfield from what we've seen before, but carries some signature strengths like plush ride quality, a characterful and torquey engine, as well as great curb appeal and good finish levels. Plus, when you buy a RE, you get access to a brand which has built a very good community and ownership experience in terms of events and rides, which is something few brands in India offer you today.Do bear in mind that the Hunter is a heavy machine, and this is just something you will have to work around. It's not as heavy as other Royal Enfields, but it is a good 20 kilos heavier than the TVS Ronin.Coming to the Ronin, this is a lighter, more agile and eager-feeling machine than the Hunter. It isn't overtly sporty and will be comfortable for daily use. The Ronin's lighter weight and smaller engine also translate to better fuel economy in general. The TVS is also the more affordable machine to purchase, and the price difference isn't insignificant. If you are on a tight budget, this is something to consider.Both bikes have a very different feel despite being similar on paper, and to make an informed decision before your next purchase, take a test ride of both.
