I am a 47-year-old male (5 ft 9 in, 85 kg) looking to buy a long-term, reliable, strong and powerful scooter. My daily city commute is about 15-20 km, and my budget is up to ₹1.5 lakh. I am currently considering the TVS Ntorq 150, TVS Jupiter 125, Suzuki Access 125 and Honda Activa 125. Are there any other scooters I should consider? Please advise.

Asked by: Shekhar Kumar

The TVS Ntorq 150 is the most powerful scooter in your shortlist, and it will also be the most fun to ride. It is also the most feature-packed, with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes and a host of other features. The TVS Jupiter 125 is a more practical option, with plush ride quality and a huge 33-litre underseat storage space.

The Suzuki Access 125 is a family scooter with peppy performance that should be very reliable and fuel-efficient, too. The Honda Activa 125 doesn't have any one standout feature, but is a proven package you can't really go wrong with.

Take a test ride of all four so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.

Asked by: Paras yadav Hello Autocar, I am looking to buy a bike for my daily commute of around 80 km, consisting of 60 km of highway and 20 km of city riding. I am confused between the TVS RTX, Hero Xpulse, and Suzuki V-Strom SX. Should I wait for the BMW 450 GS? I am looking for a comfortable and plush ride. P.S. I sold my FZ a year ago and am now looking to buy a new bike. The TVS Apache RTX 300 is a great option because it is comfortable, quick, reasonably fuel-efficient when ridden sensibly, and comes at a great price for everything you get with it. The Hero Xpulse 210 is another great option because it gives you lovely comfort and genuine off-road capability with peppy performance.The Suzuki V-Strom SX is a simple but sorted bike; however, in comparison to these two, it feels a little too simple and also not as comfortable, which is why we would recommend you choose between the TVS and the Hero. Take a test ride of these two before you decide.

Asked by: Rude S Is the Honda CB350 H’ness a good first bike compared to the Yamaha XSR155? What city mileage should I expect? My priorities are comfort for city riding and weekend rides, and I have shortlisted these two bikes. Between the Honda CB350 H'ness and the Yamaha XSR155, the Yamaha is almost certain to give you better fuel economy, although fuel efficiency depends on how and where you ride as well.When it comes to comfort, however, the CB350 H'ness will be the better alternative because the XSR155 - while it has reasonable comfort - can feel a little stiff over bad stretches of road because its suspension and frame are largely the same as the R15 sportbike.We recommend you take a test ride of both to help choose which is better for you.

Asked by: Badriprasad I have arthritis and back pain, and work in sales, which involves long and daily rides. Which bike would be better for me: the TVS Ronin or the Royal Enfield Hunter 350? Both the TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 are good options because they have a neutral rider's triangle, comfortable suspension, and are easy to manage. The TVS Ronin is a good deal lighter than this Royal Enfield bike, so we would steer you toward it if that is a priority for you.You should also consider the Honda CB350 because it has good seating and suspension comfort, neutral ergonomics, and is easy to handle inside the city. Take a test ride of all three before you decide.

Asked by: Mani Rathinam I am planning to buy a new 160cc bike. My options are the Apache RTR 160 4V TFT, Pulsar N160, and Xtreme 160 4V. Most of my riding will be in the city at speeds of 60-70 kmph, with occasional long rides. My priorities are mileage, looks, low maintenance, good customer service, resale value, fewer complaints, comfort, performance, and easy availability of spare parts. Please suggest one good option. All three options you have shortlisted are great in their own ways, and we'd advise you to choose between the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and the Apache RTR 160 4V TFT from our previous experience with them. If you are taller than 5'9, then the TVS bike will feel a little cramped, so we'd recommend the Bajaj if you're above that threshold.You should also take a look at the Honda Unicorn / SP160 as these bikes also meet your requirements, although they will have slightly lower performance compared to the aforementioned TVS and Bajaj bikes.Take a test ride of all the bikes you're considering before you go ahead with your purchase.
