There's no one product right now which will give you all of these attributes in one package today in the 125cc segment. The Suzuki Burgman will probably come closest but its not a heavy or substantial feeling machine - but we think that's a good thing considering you'll usually be using it in tight urban confines. If you want a 125cc scooter with 14-in wheels for added stability, the Hero Xoom 125 is one option we'd recommend. Its motor is fuel efficient and smooth, its styling is very modern and catchy and its suspension is pretty decent too. It doesn't have a TFT display and its boot is rather small because of its larger wheels, points to keep in mind before you go ahead with your purchase. The TVS Ntorq 125 is a great scooter which balances fun and practicality very well although, again, this is not a heavy-feeling scooter and like we mentioned earlier, this is a good thing. You should also consider the Aprilia SXR GT 125 because this scooter will have the "heavy feeling" you're after but it doesn't have a TFT display and from what we experienced on the SXR GT 175 when we reviewed it, its front suspension is not very comfortable over bad roads. Aprilia's dealer network is also far smaller than the bigger Indian brands and its aftersales and service cost has historically been on the more expensive side too. We'd recommend you take a test ride of the aforementioned options and see which one you gel with the most before you make your decision. We would also be remiss if we didn't recommend you at least take a look at and get a test ride of the Suzuki Access because while it may not be the flashiest option out there, it is really a sublime scooter which and its highest variant comes with ABS which no other mainstream manufacturer offers on a 125cc scooter.

You should look at electric scooters with 3kWh battery packs, which will give you a more than sufficient real-world range of around 100km on a single charge and should also come in around the Rs 1.50 lakh mark. In the e-scooter market, you should look at market frontrunners such as the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Konarc (or even the Rizta) and Vida VX2 models. These are all proven options from reputed makes, and it would make sense to go for one that has a sales and service point near your residence or college campus for ease of ownership. Of them all, the Rizta and Chetak have the most well-designed and spacious boots, with the Konarc and iQube trailing them closely. Depending on the battery variant you choose, the Vida is either on par with the Konarc/iQube or slightly below it, but you should have decent storage on all. Take test rides of these before you make a decision.

The Bajaj Pulsar N250SS is a budget-friendly, capable, and comfortable motorcycle that is likely to be a good fit for your needs. You should also look at the TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350, as well as the base Battalion Black Bullet 350. These neo-retro bikes place more emphasis on engine character and comfort, and all of them should be around the Rs 2 lakh mark (on-road). Take test rides of all and see which one suits your riding style and stature best before you make a decision.

The TVS Ronin is a good option to consider for your needs but you are right to be worried about TVS' aftersales because unlike its impressive products, it is rather hit or miss. Nonetheless, this remains an option you should consider, do visit your nearest TVS dealership and service centre and try to get some assurances from them before you go ahead with your purchase.In a similiar vein, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 too is a sweet and charming motorcycle which will suit your needs rather well. Royal Enfield has a widespread service network and the bike has been around long enough that you can trust it without major issues cropping up. Another underrated option that you should seriously consider is the newly launched Bajaj Pulsar N250SS. The Pulsar may look sporty and angular but it has a very neutral riding position, good suspension and a capable engine which can handle both city & highway duties. A test ride of all three should help you determine which is the best bike for your needs.

Given your requirements, we'd recommend choosing between the TVS Raider, Bajaj Pulsar 125 and Hero Xtreme 125R. These bikes have very fuel-efficient engines, as well as comfortable ergonomics and good suspension setups, which should help them suit your needs very well. Take test rides of all three before you make your decision to ensure you make an informed one.
