I’m a first-time buyer looking for a 125cc scooter that can handle uneven roads and potholes while offering a very comfortable ride.

We would recommend you go ahead with the KTM 250 Duke purchase as your first bike. It will be an easier and friendlier machine to learn on. The upcoming 350 Duke will likely be similar in terms of its throttle response and power output to the 390 Duke, which will make it a much faster machine and thus less suited to a beginner.

Since you have a rather long daily commute, we'd recommend going with an electric scooter with a battery capacity of 3kWh or more. In that space, you have options like multiple variants of the TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak models. Both are reliable, dependable, comfortable, practical and no-nonsense offerings that come from established companies. You can also look at the Ather Rizta, although in your budget, you'll probably only get the base S 2.9 variant, which has a slightly lower range than the other two, although it should still suffice for your needs. A test ride of these three is imperative before you make a decision.

Honda hasn't announced any refreshes or model updates for the CB350RS in the near future, so you can go ahead with your purchase. The RS is available with similar features to the other CB350 models, and its main differentiation from the others is in terms of its handling (owing to its smaller 17-inch rear wheel) and its sportier seating position.
