I am 40 years old and enjoy travelling. I prefer riding a two-wheeler over driving a car, but I suffer from back pain. Please suggest a bike with the following priorities: best seating comfort, ability to do long rides of 300-500 km, and a refined engine with minimal vibrations at cruising speeds.

I am a loyal Honda customer and have driven an Accord in the Gulf and currently own a Honda City in India. I would now like to replace my car with an automatic. I am considering the Volkswagen Virtus, Hyundai Verna, and the Honda City e-HEV. Please advise.

The Honda City e-HEV is the best option for you. It is a spacious, comfortable, and feature-loaded sedan that is also very efficient. The 1.5-litre petrol engine is smooth and refined, and the electric motor adds a nice dose of performance, especially in the city.The downsides are that the boot space is a bit small, and at Rs 19.48 lakh (ex-showroom), it is pricey. But since you love the Honda brand, the City e-HEV represents the best option out of the contenders you've mentioned.

I am a first-time motorcycle rider, and I’m trying to decide between the Jawa 42 Bobber, Jawa Perak, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Goan Classic 350, Triumph Speed 400, and Harley-Davidson X440. I’m 5'7”, 38 years old, and have a muscular build. Which of these bikes would be most suitable for me in terms of comfort, handling, and ease of riding? Also, do all of these bikes have an option for carrying a passenger comfortably?

First things first, the Jawa Perak and 42 Bobber are strictly single-seater bikes and have no provisions for carrying a pillion. These bikes are also rather stiff and uncomfortable, and we'd recommend steering clear unless you ride very little and mostly on smooth roads.Coming to the other options you've shortlisted, the Triumph Speed 400 will be the dynamically most capable machine and also the fastest one. On the other end of the spectrum, you'll have the laidback but charming Royal Enfield 350s with their easy riding and torque-rich experience.The Harley-Davidson X440 splits the difference between the Triumph and the REs. It all boils down to personal preference, so take a thorough test ride of everything you're considering before making a decision.

I am confused between the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, and Triumph Speed T4. My maximum budget is ₹2.5 to 2.8 lakh. If possible, please suggest some customisation options within this budget. I live in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Please help.

The choice of bike you should go with depends entirely on your riding style and requirements. The Triumph Speed T4 is the more capable and quicker machine of the three. And, if you spend a lot of time at highway speeds or want to do reasonably sporty riding, it will be a better fit.The Royal Enfield 350s are slow machines, but are soulful in a way few other bikes can emulate. If you enjoy a torque-rich, characterful, laidback and comfortable riding experience, the RE 350s are a great option. Take a test ride of both to see which one suits you best.
