I own a Honda CB 350 H'ness 2022 model. It is doing great when it comes to the engine, but the parts feel substandard. I would like to upgrade to a 650cc or a 750cc bike. Kindly suggest a model for daily commute and occasional long trips.
If you want a 650cc bike that can be used daily, the models at the forefront are the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and BSA Gold Star 650. Both have torquey engines - albeit ones that sound and behave very differently - with upright ergonomics making them a good fit for daily usage. Do bear in mind that both bikes are much heavier than your current Honda CB350 H'ness and will demand some caution before you get used to their size and heft.
If you want something a little more unique, then the Kawasaki Z650 or Z650RS makes for genuinely usable big bikes. While their prices are more than double those of the Royal Enfield and BSA, they really are hassle-free, punchy, well-built machines that will serve you well for a long time.
One thing to note with the Kawasaki 650s is that they have low ground clearance, which could be a factor that influences your purchase if your city doesn't have good roads.

I’m looking to buy a motorcycle with strong low-end torque. Which would be better among the Goan Classic 350, CB350, Harley-Davidson X440 T, and Royal Enfield Scram 440? My usage will mostly be in the city, with rare long rides, and I’m not concerned about top speed.
For city use among the bikes you're looking at, the top two would be the Royal Enfield Scram 440 and Harley-Davidson X440 T. These bikes have large, long-stroke, single-cylinder engines, which will have the edge over the smaller 350s you're looking at. However, if most of your usage is inside the city, we'd recommend sticking with the 350cc roadsters from either Royal Enfield - Hunter/ Classic / Bullet - or Honda - in the form of its CB350 trio. These bikes will have more than enough grunt for city traffic and will also return more fuel economy. Take a test ride of these to see which one suits you best.

I commute 76km daily and am considering the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 or the Interceptor 650. Please suggest which bike would be better for my usage. I am also open to alternatives.
The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 would be a far more comfortable option than the Interceptor 650, especially for your long daily commute due to its plush and sophisticated suspension, upright ergonomics and some wind protection. It will also be more fuel-efficient, which is something that will be important given your high daily running.
In a similar vein, we would also recommend you look at the new Royal Enfield Scram 440 because it has great comfort - aside from the seat, which is a quick and inexpensive fix - as well as decent performance and fuel economy at a much lower price than both the Himalayan and the Interceptor.
If you want to look outside the Royal Enfield brand, bikes like the Hero Xpulse 210, and TVS Apache RTX 300 will be our recommendations for their plush suspension, good fuel economy and upright rider's triangles.
A test ride of these bikes should help you decide which is the best fit for you.

Hi, I am confused between the Harley-Davidson X440, Honda CB350 and TVS Apache RTX 300. I am 40 years old, and my daily usage is around 30km. I want to start touring on a motorcycle, with rides of around 350km, and pillion comfort is important. I have mostly been riding an Ntorq scooter and consider myself a beginner since it has been a long time since I rode a bike. Please advise.
Since you consider yourself a beginner, the TVS Apache RTX 300 may not be the best fit. It is a tall and top-heavy machine, which can rob newer riders of confidence. However, as a package, it is the most well-rounded machine of the three bikes you are considering, especially when it comes to touring with a pillion onboard.
The Honda CB350RS and Harley-Davidson X440 are neo-retro roadsters with torquey engines, upright ergonomics and decently plush suspension, which will make for a better fit for a newer, less experienced rider like yourself with their low seat heights and therefore, centre of gravity too. For similar reasons, the Royal Enfield Bullet and Classic 350 are also worth considering.
We recommend you take a thorough test ride of everything you're considering with a pillion onboard before making a purchase.

Between the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Yamaha XSR155 and TVS Ronin, which is best for city riding?
While the three bikes you've shortlisted are certainly comparable, they offer very different riding experiences. The Yamaha XSR155 is the sportiest of the lot, with stiff suspension and a slightly leaned-forward riding position. On poor city roads, this can get uncomfortable, although it is the lightest and most fuel-efficient option here.
The TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 are roadsters with torquey engines and neutral ergonomics, as well as plush suspension, making them suited for city riding. Neither of these bikes can match the XSR’s fuel efficiency, though.
A test ride of these 3 should help you decide which one suits you best.

I work in industrial product sales and travel around 80km daily. My budget for a bike is ₹2.5 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
If you want a standard street bike, then in your price range, you can get machines like the Honda CB300F, Bajaj Pulsar N250, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Royal Enfield Hunter 350, and Yamaha XSR155. Depending on the look and comfort each bike offers you, you can pick and choose between them - all are proven, reliable machines from reputable makes, so you should be good in the long run, by and large.
In the adventure bike class, the new TVS Apache RTX 300 and Hero Xpulse 210 make for good options to look at, and these two will be more comfortable and spacious than the roadsters suggested above, although if you are a shorter rider, their tall seats might not be ideal for you.
Take a test ride of these bikes to see which one suits you best before making a decision.

I am planning to buy a Royal Enfield motorcycle and am considering the Hunter 350. My daily commute will be around 35km to 40km, along with one or two long trips each year. I will also use the bike for family errands, including riding with my parents. Please advise if the Hunter 350 would be suitable for my requirements.
The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a functionally sorted, well-priced and good-looking machine, so if you've got your heart set on it, you can go ahead with your purchase. It is good to use inside the city thanks to its plush suspension, upright and neutral ergonomics and torquey, smooth engine. Out on the highway, as long as you're not crossing the triple-digit threshold, the Hunter will make for a relaxed mile munching partner.
Pillion comfort is the one area where the Hunter isn't as great as its larger siblings - owing to its physically smaller size. We would recommend you visit the showroom for a test ride to gauge this matter for yourself with your parents in tow.

I bought a Honda SP in August 2024 and have ridden it for around 5,800km. However, I am not satisfied with its power and pickup, especially compared to my older CB Shine, which I still there. While purchasing the SP, I had considered the TVS Raider, Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Yamaha FZ and TVS Ronin. However, I selected the wrong model, and now I want to buy the Hunter 350 or TVS Raider or Yamaha FZ. I am now looking for a bike that offers better looks, power, pickup and road presence, and am confused between the Hunter and the other options, as Hunter offers more status. I am also considering selling my current bike, which is in mint condition with all free services completed. Please advise on the best course of action and what would be a reasonable resale price.
Since you have mentioned you want more performance than your current bike, you should look at the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and TVS Ronin, as the Yamaha FZ will only offer you a very small step up in terms of sheer speed, although it will offer you vastly more fuel efficiency in the process.
Take a test ride of the Hunter and Ronin before you decide to go ahead with your purchase.
Coming to what price you should sell your bike for, there are a lot of regional factors that come into play, as well as the market rate of your machine. We would recommend speaking to a pre-owned bike dealer in addition to putting some feelers out in the market in your individual capacity to get an accurate picture.

I previously owned a Hero Karizma R and later switched to a Honda Shine 125. I am now considering buying a cruiser-style motorcycle. I am 5’4” tall, and my riding is mostly bumper-to-bumper city traffic. Please suggest suitable options that I should test ride.
Since you have mentioned you want a cruiser style bike to ride in the city and keeping your stature in mind, your choices boil down to the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and its sibling, the Goan Classic 350.
Both of these Royal Enfield bikes have low seat heights, which should help you plant your feet on the ground and aid confidence when negotiating stop-and-go traffic. Do bear in mind that these bikes with their feet forward and relaxed riding positions will put a lot of weight on your tailbone and transfer road bumps to your spine, so its worth taking a test ride to see whether or not you can live with this sort of position daily.

Asked by: Rahul Pawaron Jan 7, 2026
I currently own a 2009 Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 and am looking to upgrade. I am unsure about the Super Meteor 650 due to its stiff suspension, low mileage and my past experience with Royal Enfield. I frequently ride with a pillion on long journeys across rural India and value comfort and value for money. All Royal Enfield options don’t entice me, but if you suggest one, I can think of it. I prefer a cruiser stance, but the Kawasaki Eliminator feels too low for me. I am 5’10”. Please advise.
Considering you ride a lot with a pillion and in rural areas, where roads can suddenly disappear without warning, an adventure bike will suit your needs better than a cruiser. Under the Rs 3 lakh mark, you have the very capable TVS Apache RTX 300, and if you are willing to stretch your budget to Rs 4 lakh, then the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure X are our recommendations.
If, however, you are determined to stick to a roadster/cruiser, then your best bets would be the Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 and the Honda CB350 trio. These bikes will be available under Rs 3 lakh (on-road).
Take a test ride of these bikes with a pillion onboard to understand which one serves you best.
