If you want a neo-retro, lightweight bike in the 150-200cc displacement category, the Yamaha XSR155 fits the bill quite well. It returns excellent fuel economy, has punchy performance and is decently comfortable - except over bad patches of road where its stiff suspension does make its presence felt.Take a test ride of this Yamaha bike with your pillion to see if it feels suitable for your needs.

While the three bikes you've shortlisted are certainly comparable, they offer very different riding experiences. The Yamaha XSR155 is the sportiest of the lot, with stiff suspension and a slightly leaned-forward riding position. On poor city roads, this can get uncomfortable, although it is the lightest and most fuel-efficient option here.The TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 are roadsters with torquey engines and neutral ergonomics, as well as plush suspension, making them suited for city riding. Neither of these bikes can match the XSR’s fuel efficiency, though.A test ride of these 3 should help you decide which one suits you best.

Since you consider yourself a beginner, the TVS Apache RTX 300 may not be the best fit. It is a tall and top-heavy machine, which can rob newer riders of confidence. However, as a package, it is the most well-rounded machine of the three bikes you are considering, especially when it comes to touring with a pillion onboard.The Honda CB350RS and Harley-Davidson X440 are neo-retro roadsters with torquey engines, upright ergonomics and decently plush suspension, which will make for a better fit for a newer, less experienced rider like yourself with their low seat heights and therefore, centre of gravity too. For similar reasons, the Royal Enfield Bullet and Classic 350 are also worth considering. We recommend you take a thorough test ride of everything you're considering with a pillion onboard before making a purchase.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 would be a far more comfortable option than the Interceptor 650, especially for your long daily commute due to its plush and sophisticated suspension, upright ergonomics and some wind protection. It will also be more fuel-efficient, which is something that will be important given your high daily running.In a similar vein, we would also recommend you look at the new Royal Enfield Scram 440 because it has great comfort - aside from the seat, which is a quick and inexpensive fix - as well as decent performance and fuel economy at a much lower price than both the Himalayan and the Interceptor.If you want to look outside the Royal Enfield brand, bikes like the Hero Xpulse 210, and TVS Apache RTX 300 will be our recommendations for their plush suspension, good fuel economy and upright rider's triangles.A test ride of these bikes should help you decide which is the best fit for you.
