I'm upgrading from a Honda Hornet CB160 and am considering the Harley-Davidson X440 T or the Honda H'ness CB350. My riding is mostly in the city, but I can stretch my budget if the bike is worth the extra money.

Since your usage is mostly in the city, the added performance that the Harley-Davidson X440T brings over the Honda CB350 H'ness is unlikely to make a big enough difference to justify the big price difference between the two. Additionally, the Honda bike will also return much better fuel economy owing to its smaller, more efficient engine. Both are on a similar level when it comes to comfort, so the CB350 H'ness is the more logical buy between the two. 

Take a test ride of both to see which one you're leaning towards more before you make a decision.

@dhruv.7 Go for CB350 H'ness because ur preference city ride. Better fuel average than x440T. Moreover X440T is for long ride.

@dhruv.7 Go for CB350 H'ness because you are already aware of honda service and upgrading to premium experience. And its a true honda motorcycle not x-over.

I am planning to purchase my first bike for daily commute to office in city traffic. I was planning to wait for Triumph Bonneville 350, are Triumph 350 bikes worth the wait or should I go for any other?

I've been riding a Honda Shine 125 for the last 12 years and am planning to upgrade to the Harley-Davidson X440 T. Is it a good motorcycle for a 60km daily commute?

The Harley-Davidson X440T makes for a good commuting companion with its torquey yet smooth long-stroke single-cylinder engine, neutral ergonomics and plush suspension setup. Depending on the traffic on your route as well as the way you ride, fuel economy will vary, but you should expect a big drop from your Shine 125 in this regard.If you want a similiar riding experience but a machine that is more affordable and with better fuel economy, consider the Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic 350 and Honda CB350 models. These machines have similar attributes to the bigger X440 T, but with their smaller engines, they will be more fuel-efficient, although of course, you will have to sacrifice some peak output.Take test rides of these machines before you make your decision, depending on which one you prefer the most.

I own a BS3 Bajaj Pulsar RS200. Since my running is quite low, should I continue maintaining and keeping it, or would it be better to buy a new bike? I also wanted to ask whether switching from regular E20 petrol to XP100 for my RS200 is worth considering. I am currently using E20 fuel and getting only around 25 kmpl. Will XP100 improve the bike's performance or mileage enough to justify the higher cost?

If your running is low and your Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is otherwise in good condition, there is no compelling reason to replace it. As for fuel, switching to the much more expensive XP100 is not worth it. The RS200 is not a high-compression performance engine that would benefit from 100-octane fuel, and you will not see any meaningful improvement in performance or efficiency. The lower mileage you are seeing on E20 fuel is expected, as ethanol blends generally reduce fuel economy. The best approach is to continue using the RS200, maintain it well, and accept the slightly lower mileage as a normal consequence of E20 fuel. There is no need to spend extra on premium fuel or a new bike unless you have a specific reason to upgrade.

Considering Delhi's current EV policy in 2026, would it be a wise decision to buy and register a new petrol motorcycle in Delhi? I am concerned about how future policy changes could affect its resale value. Would you recommend buying a petrol bike now or waiting?

Verified

If you are considering purchasing a petrol two-wheeler, then you should go ahead with your decision. Over time, your resale will, of course, be impacted by this decision, but that will be quite a few years down the line, and by then your needs and preferences will likely change, which means that drop is unlikely to affect you to a great extent.

My monthly running is around 500 km. Please suggest the best electric scooter for my needs.

With a daily run of roughly 20km, you can go for one of the smaller battery pack variants among the vast electric scooter marketplace. Specifically, the TVS iQube 2.2 which may be an entry level model but the experience it gives you is far from entry level. It has brisk performance, good storage, a decent feature-set and pretty quick charging too. Make sure to take a test ride of the iQube before you make your decision to see if it fits you well.

I'm looking for an electric scooter with good range, a large storage compartment, and enough comfort for a 6'2" rider carrying a pillion. My daily commute is around 50km in Kerala. It should also have a good service network in Malappuram.

The River Indie is a scooter that is both comfortable for larger riders and has the largest boot on any Indian electric scooter, measuring 43 litres. You should get a range of 100km on a single charge if ridden sensibly in the middle 'Ride' mode, and River has also built an excellent reputation for service quality and experience, even if its volumes aren't as big as the heavy hitters in the market. Take a test ride of the Indie before you make your decision to make an informed purchase.

We already have a Royal Enfield Classic 350 at home, and I want to buy something different. My daily commute is around 50km, travelling between home and the office. I don't enjoy long-distance touring, and my budget is around 3 lakh. I'm confused between the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, Harley-Davidson X440 Vivid, and the Triumph Speed 400.

Since you already have a RE Classic 350 at home, we'd recommend you remove the Meteor 350 and Harley-Davidson X440 from your shortlist because these bikes will feel quite similar to your Classic. The 350cc Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will offer a more engaging riding experience with more performance and features on tap, and are the ones we'd advise you to choose between. Of the two, the Triumph bike has the more mellow nature, but it will still feel like a good step up from your Classic in terms of performance and handling. The Guerrilla, on the other hand, is quite excitable and of the two, this is definitely the more fun machine. Its suspension is a little taut, which enables it to have very engaging handling, but over bad roads, you will feel a little more of the road surface coming through to your back. The RE also has a crisper, more tech-laden TFT display, whereas the Triumph uses a simple digi-analogue unit.Take a test ride of both before you make your decision, since they are quite different to ride.
