Bajaj bikes in India (20)

Since you haven't specified what displacement range or style of bike you are looking at, we'll give you multiple options to choose from. 

The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is a good option because it will be comfortable, stylish and will give you decent performance and fuel economy too. Another bike worth taking a look at is the Honda CB300F, which is a friendly naked bike that will also be comfortable and fuel-efficient. You can also take a look at the Hero Xpulse 210, which will be far the most comfortable machine of all the bikes mentioned here. 

If you want to stick to the same displacement bracket, bikes like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are the options to consider. Take a test ride of everything you're considering before making a decision.  

First of all, thank you for your patronage, we appreciate your kind words. 

Coming to what machine we would recommend, since you had such a lovely experience with your Unicorn in the past, you can look at the same bike even today because it is a no-nonsense, practical and fuel-efficient commuter. 

If you want to look at other options in the class, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V are our top picks in the 150/160cc sporty commuter segment.

Take a test ride of everything you shortlist so you can decide what suits you best. 

The Bajaj Pulsar N250 you have shortlisted is a great option because of its smooth engine, plush suspension and great fuel economy. 

Other bikes you can consider are the TVS Ronin and Honda CB300F. The latter is similar to the Pulsar in its style and riding experience, but the former is slightly more cruiser-y in its styling. 

A test ride of all three should help you figure out which bike suits you best. 

Since this is your first bike, starting small and approachable would be the smart way to go about it. In that same vein, we would recommend the new Yamaha XSR155 because it is a light, comfortable, fuel-efficient machine that's also reasonably exciting to use. 

If you want a larger machine, then bikes like the Honda CB300F, Bajaj Pulsar N250 and Suzuki Gixxer 250 would be good options. 

Take a test ride of everything you shortlist before you decide. 

Since you have a commute that has some highway riding, we'll recommend bikes displacing 250cc or more so you can maintain decent highway speeds without feeling the engine is strained. 

There are loads of options in your price bracket, like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, TVS Ronin, Honda CB300F, Bajaj Pulsar N250, Hero Xpulse 210 and TVS Apache RTX 300. 

Take a test ride of all the machines you shortlist before going ahead with your purchase. 

Since you are already familiar with the TVS after-sales experience, we would recommend you take a look at the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. 

It is a smooth, comfortable, fuel-efficient and feature-rich offering. However, do bear in mind, it can feel cramped for larger riders, so we'd advise you to take a test ride and figure out if that is the case for you. Another option to consider is the Bajaj Pulsar N160, which has similar attributes to the Apache bikes but is a more spacious machine.
