Bajaj bikes in India (21)

I am thinking of getting a new bike after using a TVS Sport 100cc for almost 15 years. I have been interested in sports bikes since childhood, and now that I am settled, I am thinking of getting one. Earlier, I was considering the Kawasaki Ninja 300, but its price has recently increased while offering minimal features and high maintenance costs. For some time, I also considered the Ultraviolette F77, but I am still sceptical about its long-term reliability. The Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 has always been on my mind, and I recently visited its showroom. I really like the colours of the SF 150 more than those of the 250, but I also don't want to miss out on the thrill of the 250. I am particularly interested in the SF 250 FFV variant, but it is available in only two colours, neither of which I find very appealing. I really like one of the colours offered on the SF 150, but it isn't available on the 250. I also came across the Suzuki GSX-8R, and it was love at first sight. Now I am wondering if Suzuki could launch a similar bike in the coming months. I am very confused. What should I do?

I’m planning to buy a motorcycle for the first time. Please suggest a suitable option based on my requirements. My main priorities are safety and comfort. I’ll mostly ride in villages and cities, with occasional highway rides. I’m 5'4" tall and weigh 45 kg. My budget is around Rs 1.5 lakh. I would also prefer a bike with a single-seat setup, as I’ll be carrying my parents as pillion riders.

I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable and durable electric scooter for city commuting. My daily running is around 50 km, occasionally increasing to 70 km on busier days. I have rooftop solar installed at home and will charge the scooter exclusively there, so access to public fast-charging networks isn’t a priority. I’m also not particularly interested in touchscreen gimmicks or connected-tech features. My top priorities are solid build quality, long-term durability, hassle-free after-sales support, and a proven, reliable battery and BMS setup with minimal degradation over time. My budget is around Rs 1.5 lakh. I currently own an Activa and am planning to replace it. Which electric scooters would you recommend for my requirements?

I used to own a Honda Unicorn 150, eight years ago. Since then, I have only ridden scooters in the city and haven't ridden a motorcycle in 8 years. I am looking for a bike for 50 km of daily commute with a mix of city traffic and highway. I am looking for a smooth and reasonably powerful bike that is capable of comfortably cruising at 80-90 kph on highways. I needs a bike that offers a relaxed, comfortable riding posture and easy handling for city traffic. I have a maximum budget of Rs. 2 lakh. Which motorcycle would be the best fit for my transition back to riding? Should I shortlist SP160, Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid, and NX200?

I am planning to buy a two-wheeler EV on Deepawali for 60-70km for 5 days a week daily commute in Hyderabad for the period of next 2-3 years. Please suggest an option in both the scooter and bike categories.
