Which is the best bike in the 350-400cc segment if I'm looking for mileage, comfort, low maintenance, and long-term ownership? I ride around 500km every week.

•6w

For your use case, we would recommend looking at the Honda CB350 models, Royal Enfield Bullet/Classic 350, and Triumph Speed T4. All of these 350cc machines set a high bar for comfort, but the Bullet and Classic will definitely have a small edge here. When it comes to fuel economy, the CB350s and Speed T4 will likely be more efficient than the heavier Royal Enfield bikes, although mileage varies greatly depending on a multitude of factors. Finally, when it comes to long-term peaceful ownership, it's likely that the Hondas will be the easiest to live with, although maintenance costs for all three will be pretty comparable.

These three options are also very different in terms of their riding experience, and to accurately gauge which one will be best for you, we'd recommend a test ride of all before you make your decision.

@hassanahmed Go for CB350 because Honda engines are a class apart. Very smooth gearbox as well. And you don't feel the weight of the bike at all.

@hassanahmed Go for Classic 350 because it's the classic . The cult plus the service network and spares availability . A product is only as good as this.

Does maintenance of t4 speed is high then cb350 or same ? Kindly suggest.. im planning for t4 but im worried about mileage and maintenance service cost. As i heard cb350 is low.

@chin The Triumph Speed T4 isn't significantly more expensive to maintain than the Honda CB350, though the CB350 may have a slight edge in service costs and fuel efficiency. I wouldn't let maintenance be the deciding factor - if you prefer the Speed T4's performance and riding experience, it's a worthwhile choice.

Best Bike for Comfortable Rides: Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 or Triumph Scrambler 400X?

•1d

Since you want comfort as a top priority in your next purchase, the two bikes that will deliver that much better than the others in your shortlist are the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the 350cc Triumph Scrambler 400 X. The Himalayan is more adept on the highway front, but the Scrambler is the better city bike, so depending on where you spend more time, pick between these two. The TVS Apache RTX 300 is a phenomenally capable bike (especially for the price), but its engine feels a little dull once you spend some time with it. If you are okay with that, then as an overall package, the TVS is quite hard to fault. If you decide you want something more road-biased, then the 350cc Triumph Speed 400 and Honda CB350RS are good options to consider. We'd skip the RE Meteor models because the Super Meteor has stiff rear suspension, and instead of the Meteor, look at the Classic / Bullet if you want more comfort with an old-school relaxed retro vibe. These are all very different machines within a broad price range, so depending on the segment you are looking at specifically, we'd advise you to take test rides of the options above and then make your decision.

Is the Tiago 24kWh Sufficient or Should I Wait for the Punch 40kWh?

•7h

For an 80km daily commute, the Tata Tiago EV 24kWh is a sensible choice. It offers a real-world range of around 200km, which gives you enough buffer for your daily usage plus some margin for unexpected detours or battery degradation over time. This Tata car is also affordable, easy to park and cheap to run, making it a very practical city electric car.But if you can extend your budget, the Tata Punch EV 40kWh is the better car overall. It offers a significantly higher real-world range of around 300km, a slightly more spacious cabin and a more premium feel. The key question is whether you need that extra range. If your usage is mostly city-based and you have reliable home charging, the Tiago EV 24kWh is sufficient. If you regularly do longer trips or want maximum range buffer, then the Punch EV 40kWh is worth considering.

Hello, I'm considering buying a bike for my daily commute to work. My office is…

Since this is your first motorcycle, sticking to a commuter machine will help you ease into the transition of riding a geared bike coming from a CVT scooter. We'd recommend options like the Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 to you, which will offer a big step up in comfort and performance from your Access, with little to no trade-off in efficiency. These are all lightweight, simple, easy to get along with sort of bikes and should suit your needs well. Take test rides of all before you make your decision.

Brezza ZXi P vs Victoris VXi P vs Creta EX P Under 15 Lakh

•5d

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi petrol. It is the most sensible first car in this shortlist. The Brezza is a proven, reliable and low-maintenance SUV with Maruti’s unmatched service network, which is exactly what you want for long-term ownership. The ZXi variant is well equipped, the naturally aspirated petrol engine is smooth and dependable, and the car is easy to drive in the city while still being comfortable on highways. The Maruti Suzuki Victoris VXi is also a good option, but the Brezza feels like a more complete package with a stronger ownership track record. The Hyundai Creta EX is a good car, but at this price point you are getting a lower variant with fewer features, and the Brezza ZXi offers better value for money. Overall, the Brezza ZXi strikes the best balance between reliability, running costs, features and long-term peace of mind.

Car for First Time Buyers Under 15 Lakh

•4d

For a first-time buyer with around 1,000km a month and a Rs 10-15 lakh on-road budget, the Skoda Kylaq is a good option to consider. This Skoda car is compact, easy to drive, and has a high seating position and compact dimensions, making it ideal for learning and daily use. The 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine is smooth and low maintenance, and the 6-speed automatic is one of the smoothest in the segment. The interior quality is very good, the feature set is strong, and the Prestige trim, which is second from top, will fit in your budget and offer a good amount of kit. Moreover, the Kylaq has also been rated 5-star in Bharat NCAP's crash test ratings, which adds another layer of assurance.

Honda Rebel 300 vs Rebel 500: Comfort and Fun for a New Rider

•1d

If this is to be your very first motorcycle, it makes more sense to go for the smaller Honda Rebel 300 over the bigger 500, although the 500 can also work as your first bike if you plan to keep it for many years but the learning curve will be quite steep in the initial days of your motorcycling journey. Both the Rebel models are much lighter than the comparable Royal Enfield bike so weight really isn't the issue. Coming to whether you will fit on the Rebel, we can't yet comment on that as we haven't been able to spend some quality seat time on either of them. We suggest you wait until both are available in a showroom near you and take a test ride before you make a decision.
