Can you guide me between the Suzuki Burgman Street EX top model and the TVS Ntorq top model in terms of long-term reliability, comfort, ease of riding, maintenance costs, and performance? I am 47 years old, weigh around 85 kg, and am 5 feet 9 inches tall.

Both the Suzuki Burgman Street EX and the TVS Ntorq have their unique strong points. The Suzuki scooter has cemented a great reputation for itself because of its reliability, fuel efficiency, and comfort, typical strong points of a family scooter.

On the other hand, the sporty Ntorq will have the upper hand in terms of performance. However, spirited riding can have an impact on its fuel efficiency. TVS has a hit/miss reputation when it comes to after-sales and reliability, so if that is of utmost importance to you, we would recommend going with the Burgman.

After owning and loving my Yamaha MT-15 for the past 7 years, I'm finally looking for my next motorcycle, one I'll hopefully keep for the next 10+ years. I've test-ridden the new Duke, Speed 400, and Triumph Tracker 400. Duke: Absolutely loved its chassis, handling, braking, and confidence, but the aggressive styling and character aren't really my taste. Speed 400: Silky smooth, refined, and comfortable, but it didn't excite me enough. Tracker 400: My favourite among the Triumphs. I loved how naturally it leaned with my body and how confidently it absorbed bad roads. I just wished it had a bit more power and an even smoother drivetrain. These rides made me realise I'm looking for an enthusiast motorcycle, not just a comfortable commuter. Budget: Less than Rs 5 lakh (slightly stretchable). Could you please suggest the best bike to upgrade to for me?

Since you found the KTM 39O Duke too aggressive and the 350cc Triumph Speed / Tracker models a little bland, a good alternative to these is the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. The engine of this Royal Enfield bike has a potent mid-range, its handling is quite engaging, and the ownership experience is likely to be pleasant as well.Take a test ride and see if you gel with the Guerrilla.

I am planning to buy my first bike for my daily office commute in city traffic. I was considering waiting for the Triumph Bonneville 350. Are Triumph’s upcoming 350cc bikes worth waiting for, or should I consider another motorcycle instead?

•20h

It certainly makes sense to wait for the upcoming Triumph Bonneville 350, it will likely be a comfortable, smooth machine with a lovely neo-retro design. In a similar vein, also look at the RE Classic / Bullet 350 and the Honda CB350 models. Take test rides of the REs and the Triumph when it comes out and make your decision accordingly.

I am planning to buy an electric scooter. I live in a rural area of Mangalore. Range is not a high priority for me, as I will be using it only for short trips, 3-4 days a week. I am looking for a well-built, reliable, and comfortable scooter. I have shortlisted the TVS iQube and the TVS Orbiter. Which one would you recommend? Are there any other electric scooters that I should consider?

•1d

Since you've said range is not a super important consideration for you, we'd recommend going with the TVS iQube 2.2. The base iQube offers you a very polished riding experience with zippy performance, good comfort, quick charging times and even has a front disc brake for reliable stopping power. Its 30L underseat storage area is also quite spacious, and overall, the iQube 2.2 will make for a good companion during your short stints aboard it.

I want to buy the Honda Unicorn, as I travel 70 km daily. Earlier, I used an Activa, but it caused back pain. Can you guide me whether I should go for Honda Unicorn or something else?

•2d

The Honda Unicorn will make for a good upgrade over your Activa, given your daily 70km stint. Commuter motorcycles are some of the most comfortable and fuss-free machines you can buy today, especially so in the case of the Unicorn. If you want alternatives to the proven Honda, look at the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V for a sportier, more feature-rich experience without sacrificing comfort and usability. A test ride of all three will help determine which is the right one for you.

I would like to know if it is normal for a fully charged, unused Ather 450 X to lose 1-3 km of indicated range without being ridden.

•2d

Do not worry, it is completely normal to see a 1-3 km drop in the displayed range on your Ather 450 X after a full charge, even if the scooter has not been ridden. This is not a sign of battery degradation or a fault. What you are seeing is a combination of two things: battery self-discharge and the way the range estimator works. All lithium-ion batteries lose a tiny amount of charge when parked overnight or for a few days, even when the scooter has not been in use. More importantly, the range estimate is not a fixed number - it is a calculation based on the current state of charge and your recent riding patterns. Even a small change in battery percentage can cause the displayed range to drop by a few kilometres.

Hi, I would like your suggestion on a good bike for my needs. I am 40 years old, 5'9" tall, weigh 115 kg, and have a family. My daily commute is 72 km. The road conditions are around 6 out of 10, considering potholes and speed breakers. Traffic is above average; if I were to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is the least and 10 is the highest, I would rate it 7. I am open to both ICE and electric bikes. I would also prefer a bike that offers good fuel efficiency.

Given your long daily run with lots of traffic and bad roads, a simple commuter would be the best fit for your usage. In the 125cc segment, look at options like the TVS Raider, Honda Shine / SP125 and Hero Super Splendor/Xtreme, depending on your design preferences.In the 160cc class, options like Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are our top picks. Depending on your budget and fuel economy requirements, pick between the class of bikes that best suit your needs.
