I’m planning to buy a bike with a budget of around ₹1.30 lakh. My daily office commute is about 60 km (round-trip) and I’ll do occasional highway rides with my wife, so seat comfort is non-negotiable. Which bike should I buy?

Something comfortable in the 160cc space, like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V or Suzuki Gixxer will fit the bill for your requirements, although you may need to extend your budget a little bit for some of the higher variants. You can also look at some 125cc bikes like the Hero Glamour, Honda Shine and TVS Raider if you don't want to stretch your budget, but with two people on board, the 125s will feel a little breathless at highway speeds.
