I want to upgrade. Between the Harley X440T and the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. Which one is better in terms of front and rear suspension, power, and overall riding experience in the city and on highways?

The Harley-Davidson X440 T and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 - while similiar in displacement - have very different riding experiences. The X440 T is a relaxed roadster with comfortable suspension, neutral rider's triangle and a smooth, torquey air/oil-cooled engine. 

Its riding experience will be more laidback in comparison to the Guerrilla, although depending on your riding style, that can actually be a good thing. 

Coming to the Guerrilla 450, this is a properly sporty and fast machine, which will have better performance and handling on a twisty road. However, its suspension can feel a little stiff over bad roads - although it isn't harsh. 

If you want a more engaging riding experience, the Guerrilla is a better bet. 

Depending on what sort of rider you are, either of these bikes will serve you well. A test ride of both should help you decide.

I’m a long-time Autocar fan and a 5’10” rider planning to replace my 2015 Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 with a more practical maxi-scooter for daily commuting and errands. My main priorities are comfort and fuel efficiency. I am currently considering the Yamaha Aerox 155 and the Hero Xoom 160. Which one would you recommend? Also, would it be worth waiting for the Yamaha Nmax 155, or is there a better alternative I should consider?

In our experience, neither the Yamaha Aerox 155 nor the Hero Xoom 160 have proven to be comfortable, especially over broken roads. Instead of these two, we'd recommend you give a long, hard look at the TVS Ntorq 150. On paper, it might seem like a step down compared to the Yamaha and Hero with its 12-inch wheels and air-cooled engine, but in reality, it is the better product. With plush suspension, a spacious underseat storage and peppy performance, the bigger Ntorq makes for a compelling sporty scooter that doesn't sacrifice practicality. In our routine tests, we also found that - when ridden gently - it can be surprisingly fuel efficient. Do take a test ride of the Ntorq 150 to see if it resonates with you.

I ride around 30 km daily in the city and also have back problems. I have shortlisted three motorcycles: the Triumph Speed 400, Honda CB350RS, and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. Which of these bikes would you recommend for comfortable daily commuting?

Between the three bikes you've shortlisted, all three are comfortable for city use, but they all sit at very different price points, and it wouldn't be right to compare the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V with the Honda CB350RS and Triumph Speed 400. If you want a straightforward commuter, then sticking to a machine in the 150-160cc space like the aforementioned Apache, Bajaj Pulsar N160, and Honda Unicorn would make sense. These bikes will be lighter and easier to manage within the city (which is where you'll spend most of your life), as well as be fuel-efficient and comfortable. If instead you do want to look at something more premium, the Honda and Triumph you have shortlisted are also good options. You should also look at the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 in this segment. These bikes will be larger and more spacious than the 150/160cc options mentioned above, with better build quality, road presence and pillion comfort. However, they will demand a little more effort at slow speeds and will also not be as fuel-efficient as the commuters.
