Respected Autocar India team, I have been riding a scooter for around six years now and wish to upgrade to a bike. I am 182 cm tall. I am looking for a beginner-to-intermediate bike with dual-channel ABS and good braking, reasonable suspension, smooth clutch (preferably assist and slipper), good mileage (around 35-50 kmpl), low maintenance, a decent headlamp, and confidence in corners with reasonable spare part costs. I am fond of the MT-15 - do you think an updated version could be launched? Other bikes I’ve considered are the Bajaj NS200, TVS NS400Z, and Harley-Davidson N160. I’ve also considered the Honda CB350 series and the RTR 310, but the cost margins are high. I feel the NS400Z is a good trade-off. What would your experts suggest?

Considering your stature, in the Yamaha stable, instead of the MT-15, we'd recommend looking at the new XSR155. While both are mechanically near-identical, the XSR is a more spacious machine than the MT. Since this will be your first bike, the XSR will prove to be the most manageable and approachable. Thanks to its lighter weight and unintimidating power output. The Bajaj Pulsar N160 you're considering is a good option, but it will be the slowest of all the bikes you've shortlisted. However, if all you're going to do is potter around town, then getting the Pulsar makes sense as it is the most city-friendly bike here. Coming to the two Pulsar NS models, the NS200 will feel quite sporty and engaging while still being friendly enough for city use. However, the bigger NS400Z isn't the most city-friendly machine. Also, it will return lower fuel economy owing to its larger engine. The Honda CB350 models are very different to ride, thanks to their neo-retro leanings. It will be the most comfortable and relaxed machine of all the bikes you're considering. Lastly, the TVS Apache RTR 310 is actually quite a capable do-it-all machine, and will give you room to grow as a rider, too. Since you are considering multiple bikes with different riding styles and at very different price points, we'd recommend you first decide on your budget. After that, choose within that range accordingly. Also, take a thorough test ride of everything you shortlist.

Hello, Autocar. I follow your updates and value your suggestions. I currently own a 2015 Hero Passion Pro in good condition. I want to upgrade to a 160cc bike. I am 5'9", my daily commute is around 60km with family, and my budget is ₹1.5 lakh. I like the NS160. Please guide me.

The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is a good option in the class, even though it is quite dated. It will offer you genuinely sporty handling owing to its sophisticated perimeter frame, and its punchy engine will keep you entertained too. It is also a reasonably comfortable and fuel efficient machine, so as a daily use machine, it will be easy to live with.Other options you can look at are the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V - both are premium, refined, feature-rich 160cc commuters that will be comfortable and fuel efficient too.
