Trending Questions on Honda Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
Which family scooter or bike is best for both city and highway use for me? My height is 5′3″.
In the family scooter space, consider the TVS Jupiter 110 and 125, Honda Activa 110 and 125, as well as the Suzuki Access, which are our top picks in the category currently.
Since you haven't mentioned a price cap or displacement range for the motorcycle, we will provide options from both the 125cc and 160cc commuter classes. They will be easy-going, frugal, comfortable, and affordable machines to buy and own.
In the 125cc class, bikes like the Honda Shine 125 / SP125 / Honda CB125 Hornet, Hero Xtreme 125R / Super Splendor / Glamour and TVS Raider warrant strong consideration.
Coming to the 160cc class, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Honda Unicorn / SP160 and Yamaha FZ models are worth taking a look at.
Take a test ride of all before you make a decision.
What bike can I prefer at a ₹2 lakh price range? This will be my first bike, with daily usage of around 30-35 km and an occasional ride of about 200 km once a quarter.
Since this is your first bike, you should ask yourself what sort of rider you are and then pick the machine accordingly. If you feel you enjoy speed and want a sporty, engaging machine, then something like a KTM 160 / 200 Duke, Yamaha YZF R15 V4 / MT-15 and XSR155 will be good options to consider.
If you want to have a relaxed riding experience and want something stylish, then a Royal Enfield Hunter 350 or TVS Ronin would be a good starting point. Lastly, if you want a single 'standard' bike that can do most daily things, then something like a Honda CB300F would be a good option.
If you want something that prioritises fuel efficiency, a 160cc commuter from Honda, TVS, Bajaj, Hero or Yamaha would be the way to go.
Take thorough test rides of each machine you consider before making up your mind up.
I am 40 years old and enjoy travelling. I prefer riding a two-wheeler over driving a car, but I suffer from back pain. Please suggest a bike with the following priorities: best seating comfort, ability to do long rides of 300-500 km, and a refined engine with minimal vibrations at cruising speeds.
I am 50 years old and currently own a 2017 Yamaha FZ-S. I want to upgrade to a more comfortable motorcycle. I occasionally go on long rides and need a bike that offers good comfort without straining my back or shoulders. My height is 5’7”.
I am new to two-wheeler riding in the city and am also a short rider. I have only used a Honda Activa 125 so far. I am confused between buying a geared or a non-geared two-wheeler. I do not know how to ride a geared motorcycle yet, but I am willing to learn. This purchase will be for multipurpose use, including office commutes and short city rides. Please advise.
I own a 2022 TVS Raider as my first bike, and it has been a good learner motorcycle. I am now planning to upgrade and have shortlisted the TVS Apache RTR 310, Hero Xtreme 250R, and Yamaha XSR155. Please advise which is the best value-for-money option for long-term ownership with sportiness and minimal service issues.
Hello Autocar India. I have been using a Honda Activa 6G since 2002 and want to replace it with either a TVS Jupiter 113 or a Suzuki Access 125. I have been riding Honda scooters since 2006. Which scooter is a better replacement for me?
Both the TVS Jupiter 110 and the Suzuki Access 125 are good options to consider. The Jupiter is a more modern scooter and offers far more features than anything in its class. Also, it's very practical thanks to its huge 33-litre underseat storage area. The Access has all the strengths of a traditional family scooter, but it has peppy performance that will put a smile on your face during daily errands.
You can also take a look at the Honda Activa 125 since you are familiar with the Honda ownership experience. The bigger Activa is a smooth, comfortable, practical and fuel-efficient scooter which will also be reliable and easy to live with.
We suggest you take a test ride of all three scooters to see which one you find more comfortable.
I am currently using an Ntorq 125 and planning to upgrade to a bike. My height is 168 cm. My preferences include the Bullet 350, Guerrilla 450, CB300F, and Apache RTR 310. Daily usage will be in the city, with occasional long rides. Please guide me in choosing my first bike.
I am a 47-year-old male (5 ft 9 in, 85 kg) looking to buy a long-term, reliable, strong and powerful scooter. My daily city commute is about 15-20 km, and my budget is up to ₹1.5 lakh. I am currently considering the TVS Ntorq 150, TVS Jupiter 125, Suzuki Access 125 and Honda Activa 125. Are there any other scooters I should consider? Please advise.
The TVS Ntorq 150 is the most powerful scooter in your shortlist, and it will also be the most fun to ride. It is also the most feature-packed, with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes and a host of other features. The TVS Jupiter 125 is a more practical option, with plush ride quality and a huge 33-litre underseat storage space.
The Suzuki Access 125 is a family scooter with peppy performance that should be very reliable and fuel-efficient, too. The Honda Activa 125 doesn't have any one standout feature, but is a proven package you can't really go wrong with.
Take a test ride of all four so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.
