The Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 is due to undergo a generation change later this year, and we'd advise you not to buy the current model, as that will be phased out soon, and the next-gen model will likely bring in many meaningful updates to this aged platform.Coming to the Triumph Speed T4 (400cc version), this is an accomplished city bike, and if you can find one, we'd recommend you jump on that because now all single-cylinder Triumphs in India are 350cc. Coming from the XTreme 160R, this will be a comprehensive upgrade, although lower fuel economy will be one trade-off.

In the 150-160cc commuter space, the most affordable option currently is the Hero Xtreme 160R, priced at Rs 1.05 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Bikes like the base Yamaha FZ, Honda Unicorn and lower variants of the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V are available for roughly Rs 10,000-12,000 more.All of these bikes are quite fuel-efficient and can return upwards of 45-50kpl, if ridden sensibly. We'd recommend a test ride of these bikes to see which one suits you best.
