Considering your history of lower back issues, we suggest you go for the Hero Xpulse 210 as it offers a more plush ride quality. But do keep in mind that the seat height of the Xpulse 210 stands taller than the Triumph Speed T4 at 830mm, so you might not be able to flat-foot the ground. Another bike you can also consider is the Kawasaki KLX 230. Do take a test ride of all these bikes before making a purchase.

Both bikes have good suspension and will be quite comfortable on broken roads you may traverse during your commute. The Xpulse 210 will, of course, have a lower performance ceiling compared to the larger Apache RTX 300. However, it will be more affordable to buy and maintain since it’s a simpler and smaller machine.Considering that the RTX is a brand-new product built on a new platform, we would recommend going with the Xpulse in case any teething issues emerge on the TVS.

The Suzuki V-Strom SX is surely a good option for your needs. It is light, has a peppy engine and comfortable ergonomics - factors that will give you confidence over mixed road conditions. You should also consider the Hero Motocorp Xpulse 210 because it will be vastly better at tackling bad roads than the V-Strom without sacrificing on-road behaviour too much. Take a test ride of both to help make an informed decision.

The Hero Xpulse 210 makes more sense since your daily run is quite limited and long rides are few and far between. This Hero bikes has more than enough performance for both city riding and gentle highway cruising, and will keep you comfortable over the worst of our roads. However, we would advise you to wait for the Honda XR300 Rally because it promises similiar performance and capability with the backing of a Japanese giant. Once the XR is out, take a test ride and see if you gel with it or if the Xpulse makes more sense for you, before you go ahead with your purchase.

The Honda CB350 will be more comfortable between the two bikes you've shortlisted purely because the Meteor's feet-forward seating posture puts more weight on your tailbone and will send shocks directly to your spine. Instead, we'd recommend you take a look at the Bullet 350 from RE's stable at a similar price. If you are open to looking at other segments, then the Hero Xpulse 210 and TVS Apache RTX 300 will offer you even more comfort and practicality (owing to their well-thought-out luggage racks), especially if you mount your wares on the bike.Take test rides of these bikes and then make your decision.
