Hi, I own two bikes — a Honda CB300R and a Yezdi Roadster 2025. I’m planning to go on long-distance tours and want to know if the Yezdi Roadster is good enough for touring. If I were to choose one bike that’s good for everything — long tarmac rides and a bit of broken roads — which one should I go for? I’m 5.5" tall, so seat height is also an important factor. Thank you.

Both the bikes you own can make for good touring partners. However, we would lean towards the Honda CB300R over the Yezdi Roadster.

Its seating position will keep you more comfortable on broken roads. The lighter weight and sprightlier performance also make it more engaging on smooth, winding tarmac roads.

Additionally, it’s worth keeping track of service centres for both bikes in the region you plan to tour, just in case you need any mechanical assistance.

Kawasaki Z300 is launched in India at more than 3 lakhs. Do you think this makes sense and will people buy it?

I am thinking of buying the Honda NX500 E-Clutch, but the Rebel 500 E-Clutch is also expected to launch this year, with localisation. Should I wait until the NX500 E-Clutch is localised, possibly by the first quarter of 2027? Will it be manufactured locally?

So far, Honda hasn't announced any plans to localise the NX500 E-Clutch, and in fact, even the Rebel 500 E-Clutch isn't fully localised yet. Its engine is still entirely imported. Considering that the Rebel 500 has yet to receive a price tag and its deliveries are certainly some time away, you can put to bed any notions of the NX500 being localised anytime soon.

Hi Autocar, I want to buy a bike. I'm 6ft tall and want something that won't cause leg or back pain. Which should I choose: the Honda Unicorn, Yamaha FZ V4, Yamaha XSR 155, or any other bike? Please advise.

The Honda Unicorn is a no-nonsense, reliable commuter which will serve you well and keep you comfortable. It is not the flashiest option in today's marketplace but will do the job, and do it well. If you want something just slightly flashier but similarly capable, the SP160 (the Unicorn's platform sibling) is a good alternative.If you want something a bit sportier, then the Bajaj Pulsar N160 SS is a good option to look at. It is still comfortable and fuel-efficient like a commuter should be, but packs in more features and a dash of sportiness. Take test rides of these options before making your decision.

Hi, I am planning to purchase the new Dominar 400 (350) but since Bajaj is rolling out a new 5-inch TFT, Golden USDs and new colors in the bike, I am waiting for its update. Do you think that it is worth waiting for? What could be the expected launch time for the updated Bajaj Dominar 400 with the new 5-inch TFT?

•1d

It is reasonable to expect that the latest slew of updates to Bajaj's motorcycles will eventually make their way to the 350cc Dominar 400, although the brand has made no indication towards this actually being the case. Its platform sibling, the Pulsar NS400Z, recently received this same update as well. If you are planning to purchase the Dominar, we'd recommend you go ahead with your decision because there's no confirmed information regarding when the bike will receive these features and you could potentially be looking at rather a long wait.
