Bike Choice Under 2 Lakh

Honda SP 125 price in Panchkula
The Honda SP 125 carries a price premium over the Shine range it sits above, and that premium is justified largely by what changes between its two variants rather than by the engine itself, since both use the same 123.94cc air-cooled unit and 5-speed manual gearbox.
STD, the entry model: Rs. 89.28 thousand ex-showroom, Rs. 1.01 lakh on-road in Panchkula, drum brakes at both ends.
DLX, the range-topping model: Rs. 96.87 thousand ex-showroom, Rs. 1.10 lakh on-road in Panchkula, adds a 240mm front disc brake and a 4.2-inch TFT display running Honda RoadSync.
Both variants get a combined braking system as standard and a 3-year warranty extendable to 7 years covering 42,000km.
Autocar India's road test recommends stretching to the disc-equipped DLX unless the budget is genuinely tight.
Financing: the base model works out to a loan of Rs. 90,000 at an EMI of Rs. 1,448; the top model to a loan of Rs. 1,00,000 at an EMI of Rs. 1,609 in Panchkula.

I am a new learner and am planning to buy a two-wheeler in Pune. With so many options available, I am quite confused. I want something that is not too heavy and is smooth to ride, as I will be commuting 30-40 km every day. I also want a reliable engine that does not require frequent maintenance or servicing, as I plan to keep the vehicle for as long as possible. I am 5ft 7in, so it should also be suitable for my height. I would prefer an ethanol-compatible petrol two-wheeler that will not give me trouble. Which bike or scooter would be suitable for me?
You haven't specified whether or not you want a geared motorcycle or a CVT scooter, so we'll suggest reputable options from both brackets.If you are looking to get your first bike as a tool to learn how to operate the clutch and gears, then you should consider the Honda Shine 125 / SP125 / CB125 Hornet, TVS Raider, Hero Super Splendor / Xtreme 125R. These are all well-priced, smooth, fuel-efficient and comfortable machines which should last you a long time and keep you comfortable over your 40km commute.If a scooter is what you prefer, then pick from reputed options like the Honda Activa 110 / 125, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125, Suzuki Access and Yamaha Fascino / RayZR.You should choose based on two things: first, which bike/scooter you gel with most on your test ride and whichever one has a service centre not too far from your residence / office for hassle-free ownership in the long run.
Hi, I would like your suggestion on a good bike for my needs. I am 40 years old, 5'9" tall, weigh 115 kg, and have a family. My daily commute is 72 km. The road conditions are around 6 out of 10, considering potholes and speed breakers. Traffic is above average; if I were to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is the least and 10 is the highest, I would rate it 7. I am open to both ICE and electric bikes. I would also prefer a bike that offers good fuel efficiency.
Given your long daily run with lots of traffic and bad roads, a simple commuter would be the best fit for your usage. In the 125cc segment, look at options like the TVS Raider, Honda Shine / SP125 and Hero Super Splendor/Xtreme, depending on your design preferences.In the 160cc class, options like Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are our top picks. Depending on your budget and fuel economy requirements, pick between the class of bikes that best suit your needs.
I’m a first-time bike owner looking for a bike with good pillion comfort and decent fuel efficiency. My budget is around ₹1 lakh to ₹1.2 lakh.
In your budget, options like the Honda Shine / SP125, Hero Super Splendor / Glamour and TVS Radeon would be our recommendation. The Radeon is the only 110cc commuter here, whereas the Hero and Honda options have 125cc engines. So they will feel a little more capable when riding with a pillion. All the bikes suggested here have great fuel economy, and with their long, single-piece seats, should also be great to carry a pillion. Take a test ride of the suggested options before you make a decision.
I have been riding a scooty for the past 9-10 years, and I am now thinking of purchasing a bike, but I don’t know how to ride one yet. I travel about 20 km daily to the office and occasionally go on long rides with my friends. I am 22 years old, 6′2″ tall, and weigh 55 kg. My budget is ₹1.5–2 lakh. I am thinking of the RE Hunter but I am worried whether it will suit me, considering my height, so my second choice is the Xpulse 210. My mother is urging me to buy the TVS SP 125 for its high mileage, and a colleague advised me to buy the Ather Chetak. I am very confused 😵 and hope you can help me sort things out. Thank you!
Since you aren't familiar with the clutch/gear shift coordination that a motorcycle will demand. We would recommend you first learn these basics under the guidance of a professional or a trusted relative/friend. The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 may seem like a small machine, but it can comfortably accommodate larger riders without a hassle. Coming to the Xpulse 210, this is a lighter and taller machine than the Hunter and will also have a very different riding experience. The Honda SP125 will undoubtedly give you excellent fuel economy, but it can't compete with the Hunter and Xpulse in terms of performance or road presence. We'd recommend a test ride of all three before you make your purchase, as that will help you make an informed decision. However, if you think that riding a motorcycle is too complicated, and you want to stick with a scooter. It makes sense to go with proven options in the ICE and EV segments like TVS Jupiter, Honda Activa, Suzuki Access and TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta and Vida VX2, respectively.
My height is 5'8". I will commute daily for 80-100 km, and I prefer a balanced mix of performance and mileage, so I am looking for an engine in the 125-155 cc range. Since I will be travelling long distances and I am 33 years old, I want a bike that will not cause any back issues. Keeping this in mind, please suggest a suitable bike.
Since you have a rather long daily commute, we would recommend you stick with 160cc options like the Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160. All options are comfortable, fuel-efficient and reasonably peppy, although the TVS and Bajaj will have an edge over the Honda. If you still wish to go with something smaller for the benefit of fuel efficiency, our top picks are the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R, Honda Shine / SP125, Honda CB125 Hornet and the Hero Glamour / Super Splendor models. The traditional commuter options will have fewer features and more straightforward riding positions. While the sporty, premium 125s will have a little more pep in their step, a sportier rider's triangle and more features.Take a test ride of everything you shortlist before making a decision.
