•11wI currently use a TVS Ntorq for my daily 40 km commute in Bangalore City, and it is hurting my back. I’m looking for a comfortable bike that can also be used for occasional long drives. I recently rode the RTX, which is good, but I feel the engine is too grumpy and not as smooth as the CB350 I have ridden earlier.

Modern-day single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engines won't have the same feeling of smoothness as an air-cooled, relaxed engine. It is because of the way they build their power and because of tightening emission regulations. This is perhaps why you felt that the TVS Apache RTX 300 wasn't as smooth as the Honda CB350 you rode earlier.
And coming to which bike you should get, the Honda CB350 is a great place to start, and you can even look at the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet / Hunter as well as the TVS Ronin, because these bikes have great ride comfort.
We would recommend you take a thorough test ride of each bike and experience different points in the rev range to see which bike feels smoother to you.

•6wTVS is anyday not refined when compared to Yamaha Suzuki Kawasaki and Honda. Japanese bikes in the same segment of RTX 300 may feel refined....

•5wTVS Ntorq an aesthetic marvel but has lot of flaws. I still think, TVS did great in all scooters except Ntorq ( All generations). Coming to bikes for Bangalore city ride of 40kms considering your back ache issue, I honestly suggest Honda SP125. Its a solution for your problem. If you are riding below 65kmph speeds. This holds good even if u r commuting 40kms one way X 2. But only good for single ride. I suggest xpulse 200, if u r going above 65kmph speeds and the roads that you are using are extremely bad.
