I'm 5ft 4in tall and currently ride a Jawa 42. I'm looking for either a sporty naked or a touring motorcycle with strong low-end performance, minimal engine heat and decent fuel efficiency. My budget is up to 3 lakh, and I'm not interested in retro-style motorcycles.

If you want a sporty naked with peppy performance without sacrificing fuel economy to a great extent, look at the TVS Apache RTR 310. The Apache has a friendly 800mm seat height, plush suspension that still gives you the composure you need when riding hard and a punchy engine. On the higher variants, you also get some very unique features such as keyless ignition and adjustable suspension, although these might cross the Rs 3 lakh mark. Even so, the RTR 310 comes well-equipped out of the box and will offer a good step up in performance compared to your Jawa 42.
If you want a touring bike, then your only option in this price range is the 350cc Bajaj Dominar 400. The Dominar has an approachable 800mm seat height, is comfortable, has enough performance and comes with a lot of essentials that you need to go touring, right out of the showroom. It is a heavy machine, but its weight lends it stability on the highway, although at slower city speeds, you will feel it.
Take test rides of both before you make a decision to see which one suits your usage pattern better.
