We already have a Royal Enfield Classic 350 at home, and I want to buy something different. My daily commute is around 50km, travelling between home and the office. I don't enjoy long-distance touring, and my budget is around 3 lakh. I'm confused between the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, Harley-Davidson X440 Vivid, and the Triumph Speed 400.

Since you already have a RE Classic 350 at home, we'd recommend you remove the Meteor 350 and Harley-Davidson X440 from your shortlist because these bikes will feel quite similar to your Classic.

The 350cc Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will offer a more engaging riding experience with more performance and features on tap, and are the ones we'd advise you to choose between. Of the two, the Triumph bike has the more mellow nature, but it will still feel like a good step up from your Classic in terms of performance and handling.

The Guerrilla, on the other hand, is quite excitable and of the two, this is definitely the more fun machine. Its suspension is a little taut, which enables it to have very engaging handling, but over bad roads, you will feel a little more of the road surface coming through to your back.

The RE also has a crisper, more tech-laden TFT display, whereas the Triumph uses a simple digi-analogue unit.

Take a test ride of both before you make your decision, since they are quite different to ride.

@autocar.india I have already test ridden speed 400, scrambler, 400X, Harley Davidson X440 T, Guerilla 450! Speed 400 looked like a toy or a small vehicle on me! I am a little bit worried about service experience of Harley’s! So thought of going back to reliability! I even rented Guerilla 450 for a day to feel how the bike is moving with me and I liked the guerilla 450 very much. The heat was something I was not able to manage so a thought came in my mind that if I have to face the heat of a heavy engine. Why shouldn’t I go for a 650 cc bike since I won’t be changing my bike for at least 7-10 years! So I’m thinking of buying interceptor 650 or Continental GT 650 as they are legacy bikes! They both are also available for renting! I’ll rent them for a day! And then judge both of them and then make a decision!😌 Share your thoughts about what I am thinking! Maybe that can help! And please help between both of the legacy bikes! I like a little punch in my bike! I am an aggressive rider! I like to have that control over my bike!😌

@isuneja2 why not the super cruiser meteor 650

@nivinshyam I am not much of a cruiser type! I don’t like long trips on my bike! I prefer car over bike for a long trip! This is just for city use and a little adrenaline rush that goes through your body when u ride a bike! Although, if I buy a bike, my preference might change! But not sure about buying a cruiser! I would like to buy classic or standard 650 instead of that!

I'm planning to buy my first premium motorcycle and have a budget of around Rs. 3.1 lakh on-road. After a lot of research and multiple test rides, I've narrowed my options down to the Triumph Tracker 400 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. I'm looking for advice from owners or experienced riders who have spent time with either or both bikes. I've been riding motorcycles for around 7-8 years and this bike will be my primary motorcycle for at least the next 4-5 years. My usage will be approximately 70-80% city commuting to office and 20-30% rides during weekend with occasional long-distance trips of more than 250 km every 2-3 months. I will almost always have a pillion with me, so pillion comfort, suspension, and overall ride quality are very important factors. I enjoy riding but I'm not someone who rides aggressively all the time. I appreciate a refined, confidence-inspiring motorcycle that is also enjoyable on open highways. I'll be paying the full amount in cash so I'm looking for the best overall ownership experience rather than simply the cheapest option. During my test rides, the Tracker 400 felt lighter, more road-focused, and easier to ride in the city. It had a cowl so didn't get to check it with the pillion. The Scrambler 400 X engine felt somewhat the same but just a little toned down and not as aggresive as the Tracker given the higher power produced and better suspension. However, the braking was not as expected. My main concerns are related to finding more suitable bike for someone who rides mostly in the city but enjoys weekend touring. Which bike is more comfortable for both rider and pillion on longer rides? Does the Scrambler's taller suspension and larger front wheel become a disadvantage in daily city riding? Is the Tracker significantly easier to live with in traffic? Considering the fact that I'll own the bike for 4-5 years, which one offers the better overall ownership experience? I'd really appreciate insights from owners, especially those who have ridden both motorcycles or regularly ride with a pillion. Thanks in advance!

For your usage, where you regularly ride with a pillion both usually inside the city and occassionally on the highway, the Triumph Scrambler 400 X is the better option than its sibling, the Tracker. The Scrambler has a far more upright and commanding rider's triangle, is more spacious for both rider and pillion and its suspension comfort is also much better than the Tracker. Coming to the braking issue on the Scrambler, Triumph (not Bajaj) insists on equipping the bike with organic brake pads which don't have the same life or power as sintered units but its an easy fix. You can fit the sintered pads from any other 350cc Triumph onto the Scrambler and this will be an inexpensive and easy fix to your problem.

Hi everyone, I wanted to enquire about the Hero Xtreme 250R. I wanted to know if all the issues seen in the 2025 models have been rectified in the current 2026 manufacturing lots. I have heard a lot about engine issues with this bike, but I have also heard that in the 2026 models the issues have mostly been rectified. I also wanted to know that Hero showcased a TFT display, cruise control, and ride-by-wire features for this motorcycle at EICMA 2025, but they have not yet been released. What are the updates on this particular model with cruise control, and when will it be launched? If any of you own this motorcycle, please share your experience with it. Also, if you have any information about the launch of the updated version, please let me know.

The Hero Xtreme 250R is a relatively new product, and, like many first-generation models, it faced some initial teething issues. Hero has been proactive in addressing these, and the 2026 manufacturing lots are understood to have received updates to improve reliability and overall refinement. That said, it is still early days for the bike, and a long-term ownership track record is still being established.As for the EICMA 2025 showcase of the Xtreme 250R with more features, it remains to be seen if and when Hero updates the India-spec bike with these features. If you are eyeing the Xtreme, waiting for this updated model makes sense.

Is there any news of a Vespa electric scooter coming to India? I am also waiting for an Ultraviolette electric scooter so that I can exchange my Vespa S125.

•2d

No, Vespa currently doesn't retail any electric scooter models in India. The Ultraviolette Tesseract is due to be launched in the first quarter of 2027 and, on paper at least, it has some solid specifications which will force the industry to sit up and take notice.If you want an EV that is classically styled, the Bajaj Chetak is a good option. The original Chetak's design was inspired by the Vespas of yesteryear, and that reminiscence carries forward even today. What helps matters further is that the Chetak is a proven offering from a reputed brand, and it comes in multiple variants to suit different needs. Take a test ride of the Chetak and see if it is up your alley.
