I am planning to buy a 125cc scooter and am confused between the Suzuki Access 125 ABS and the TVS Jupiter 125. Which one should I choose among the latest models currently available in the market?

Both the Suzuki Access and TVS Jupiter are excellent scooters, and you're already starting from a very high baseline. The Jupiter has some undisputed USPs like its big 33-litre underseat boot and apron-mounted fuel filler, both of which you won't find anywhere else in the scooter market. It also has slightly better high-speed stability and doesn't lose composure over bigger bumps thanks to its 12-inch wheels at both ends. 

On the other hand, the Access will feel more engaging and sprightlier to ride while retaining similiar strengths and is the only 125cc scooter today to come with ABS on its top two variants. 

If having the safety net of ABS is non-negotiable for your next scooter purchase, then the Access is your only option in the 125cc space. 

A test ride of these two will help you decide which is the better fit for you.

Hi Team, I have been using a Yamaha Saluto 125 cc bike for almost 10 years and now want to upgrade to the 150-200 cc segment with an on-road budget under ₹2 lakh. I am 5′10″ tall and mostly ride within the city. My preference is for comfort, safety, pillion-friendly ergonomics, and good looks. I have shortlisted bikes like the Bajaj N160, Yamaha XSR155, TVS Apache 160 4V, and Ronin, but I am not sure about their comfort and pillion friendliness. What bikes would you suggest that meet my criteria, whether on my list or not?

Since you mentioned you ride two-up quite regularly, we'd recommend you take a look at the TVS Jupiter 110 and 125. The neat thing here is that TVS has incorporated a winged preload adjuster for the rear suspension, which makes it easy to set preload according to the number of people aboard it. The Jupiter models are also quite fuel-efficient and have, by and large proven to be reliable. A test ride is in order so you can make an informed decision.

We are planning to buy our first car under ₹10 lakhs. I am new to driving and learned in a driving school. Once I become comfortable, I will train my father and brother to drive as well. We drive occasionally and are located in a rural area, with occasional trips to suburban (10-15 km) and urban (40 km) areas. I need a fuel-efficient, low-maintenance, and safe car. I am considering the Alto, Wagon R, or Punch. I plan to keep the car for more than 10 years. Please advise.

The Tata Punch is a good option for you. The car is small and, for new drivers, will be easy to manage. It also scores well on the safety front - which is one of your priorities - with a 5-star BNCAP crash rating. However, since you are also looking for fuel efficiency, low maintenance and want to keep the car for more than 10 years, we think the Maruti Suzuki Celerio would be a good option. While it may not match the crash safety score of the Punch, it still managed a 3-star GNCAP rating, which is good given that you will not be using the car mainly on highways. Moreover, it would better meet your requirements of fuel efficiency and low maintenance, something the Maruti Suzuki brand has consistently delivered on. Also, it is a car that is easy to drive and is quite spacious inside.

I currently ride a 2025 TVS Jupiter. I have been riding non-geared scooters for the last 14 years, but I have never been comfortable with them. Due to home commitments, I could hardly switch to motorcycles earlier. Now my back and thighs hurt, and I commute 50 km daily. I need your advice on which motorcycle would be best for learning. I also plan to switch to an Apache 200 or Pulsar N250 in about a year.

Since you are going to be learning on this motorcycle, getting something approachable and lightweight will be advisable. In that regard, both the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N250 are good options. Instead of getting them later, you can directly learn on these bikes and save some money, which will be lost when you sell your learner bike, because they are unintimidating machines, which will be good for a beginner rider. However, if you want something even more approachable, a simple 125cc commuter like a Honda Shine or TVS Raider would be an excellent place to start.
