Hello, Autocar. I have a maximum budget of โ‚น2 lakh on-road. Which is the best bike that I can buy for 50:50 city and highway use? I want a bike with decent power and torque to cruise comfortably at 90kmph on highways at low rpm. I also visit the hills 3 to 4 times a year, so the bike should perform well on ghats. Pillion comfort should be good too. I currently own an old Royal Enfield Classic and do not want to buy another Royal Enfield, as I find it unreliable, high on maintenance and unnecessarily heavy. Thanks.

Keeping your requirements in mind, the option that should be at the top of your list is the TVS Ronin. It has a smooth, torquey engine paired with neutral ergonomics and lovely ride comfort. Considering it has a flat and spacious seat, pillion comfort should also be quite nice for most folks.
Some other options you can look at are the Honda CB300F and the Bajaj Pulsar N250, both of which have aggressive looks but are actually very straightforward and easy to ride.
Take a test ride of all three to see which one suits you best.

Hi, I am currently planning to buy a 400cc bike. I have shortlisted the NS400Z, Duke 390 and the Speed T4. I will be using the bike only occasionally, mostly for 100-150km rides. Please suggest which one I should go for.

All three bikes you've shortlisted are quite different to one another, so the bike you should choose entirely depends on your riding style and intended purpose.
The Triumph Speed T4 has the most relaxed and effortless riding experience with its torquey engine and upright, neutral ergonomics.
The KTM 390 Duke is its polar opposite, with its peaky single-cylinder engine dishing out the most power, and its chassis will be superb if you intend to do a lot of twisty road riding. Do bear in mind that its suspension is on the stiffer side, which will be felt when going over road imperfections.
Lastly, the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z splits the difference between the two in terms of power, features and handling and is also the most affordable bike you've shortlisted.
We recommend taking a test ride of the bikes you've shortlisted before making a decision.

Which scooter would you recommend for my daily usage of around 12-15km within Kochi city limits? There could also be a fortnightly ride of more than 20-25km. I am open to ICE, EV or hybrid options.

Since your daily usage is limited, you can look at electric scooters if you have the facility to charge it at your residence. Among all the options available, we would recommend taking a look at the Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube models that fit within your budget.
If you want to stick with an ICE scooter, our current top picks would be the Honda Activa 110 / 125, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and the Suzuki Access 125. Do take a test ride of all shortlisted options to see which one suits you best.

I would like to buy an EV scooter for myself. My daily commute is about 35-40km with some amount of load most of the time. Charging will not be a problem, and my budget is around โ‚น1.10-1.20 lakh. Please suggest.

Considering your needs, we would recommend the Bajaj Chetak 3001 / 3503 and the TVS iQube 3.1. Both the iQube and Chetak are comfortable, practical and spacious machines that have established themselves to be reliable and hassle-free EVs over the years and whichever one you choose, you'll be making a good decision.
Do bear in mind that the Chetak is slightly on the heavier side owing to its full-metal body compared to the iQube, and depending on the load you carry every day, that could be something you should keep an eye out for.

I am 31 years old and have been using a 2016 Jupiter for the last 9 years. I now want to shift to a mid-range bike around 150cc. My riding pattern is around 60km per day, five days a week, with about 70% normal traffic and the remaining in heavy traffic. Can you advise me on the best options available in Hyderabad with a mileage of around 45kmpl? I am 5'10" with a lean build. I have been riding a 2018 Gixxer (my cousinโ€™s) for the last month and generally feel comfortable on it, though I experience slight lower back pain occasionally. Also, please advise on the XSR 155.

In the 150/160cc space, there are lots of comfortable and fuel-efficient options like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Yamaha FZ models and the Suzuki Gixxer duo. Any of these will fit the bill for your usage, although our top picks would be the Bajaj and the TVS - between the two, go for the Pulsar as it's a more spacious bike.
Coming to the XSR155, since it is largely mechanically similar to the Yamaha MT-15, it should offer a similar riding experience as well, which is to say it will be a reasonably comfortable yet brisk machine. However, we would suggest you take a test ride for yourself before deciding.

I have a 13-year-old Hero Extreme 150 and want to change. Iโ€™m 45 and looking at the Honda Hornet 2.0, Hero Xtreme 160 R4V, and Apache RTR 160 4V in the same segment. Pillion comfort is essential. I ride 100-150 km per week and occasionally do long drives. Which bike should I buy, and are there any other good options?

Of the three options you have shortlisted, all are practical and comfortable options which will serve you well. Since pillion comfort is a priority, try to go for a bike/variant which has a single seat. Also, take your preferred pillion with you for a two-up test ride on all the machines. This will help you gauge each bike's strengths and weaknesses for yourself. 

You should also consider the Bajaj Pulsar N160 in the same category for its smooth engine, plush suspension and comfortable seating position. 

If you are open to extending your budget by a little bit, you can also opt for the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, which will give you a different riding experience than these commuters but will simultaneously also be a comfortable machine.

Asked by: Tarun Kumaron Nov 23, 2025

I currently own a Honda Livo for my daily commute from point A to point B, and I want to upgrade to a new bike in the 125 cc to 220 cc segment for the same purpose. My daily ride is about 20 km in the city. Iโ€™m considering bikes like TVS Ronin, Apache, Bajaj Pulsar N160, Hero Glamour, and Honda Hornet. I want reliability and comfort for daily commuting.

All the options you've shortlisted are great at being decently reliable point A to point B runabouts. 

Going for a 125cc or 150/160cc option like the Hero Glamour, Bajaj Pulsar N160, or the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V will give you considerably more fuel efficiency than a bigger machine like the TVS Ronin, but at the cost of performance. 

We'd recommend taking a test ride of all the options you're looking at and then deciding.

Hi Autocar team - Iโ€™m deciding between the 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 and the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. Iโ€™m 6 ft tall and find the Dominar more comfortable for my height, but Iโ€™d like to know which bike is more reliable in the long run and easier to maintain. My budget is around โ‚น2.5 lakh, so value for money matters. Also, why hasnโ€™t Autocar published a proper review of the 2025 Dominar 400 yet? Iโ€™d appreciate your advice.

Both the Bajaj Dominar 400 and Triumph Scrambler 400 X are reasonably reliable and hassle-free machines, and considering they are both made by Bajaj, they should be light on the wallet in terms of maintenance. We recommend choosing the one you are more comfortable with and the one that has a service centre close to you. 

Coming to why we haven't reviewed the 2025 Dominar 400, that's because the bike is mechanically the same as when we reviewed it last in 2021, and the only tangible difference is the new LCD borrowed from the Pulsar NS400Z.

Asked by: Nilabja Mukherjeon Nov 19, 2025

Iโ€™m planning to buy a new scooter since my Ntorq has completed over 50,000 km and needs some rest. My daily running is about 50 km. I had initially planned to buy the Rizta 3.7, but now Yamaha is launching the Indie Twin. Should I wait for it? Also, when can we expect the EC-06 to launch?

From our experience with the practical and comfortable River Indie, it seems likely that the Yamaha EC-06 will carry forward those qualities as well. However, it remains to be seen what Yamaha's sales and service network for its EVs shapes up to be, and that is a crucial factor to consider. 

We would recommend you stick to the proven mainstream players like the Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube if you're looking for an electric scooter right now.
