Trending Questions on Honda Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
I currently own an RR 310, but due to changes in personal circumstances, I now prefer shorter trips with my wife and child. However, I still want a powerful motorcycle that I can use for solo rides in the future. I am considering the Husqvarna Svartpilen and the Honda CB350RS, but have heard that the Hondaโs suspension is stiff. Which option would be better suited to my needs?

Hello team. I am currently using the Triumph Scrambler 400X, and it is one of the best motorcycle purchases I have ever made. However, the buzz in the foot pegs bothers me a lot. I am now planning to buy a Honda NX500 as a lifetime purchase. Does this make sense, or should I save money and get a more exciting big bike?
Is there any chance that Honda may relaunch the Honda CB300R again in India?

I am 33 years old and have been riding my fatherโs Passion Plus bike since I was 20. I travel around 120 km every day for work, and Iโm looking for a bike that can handle long daily rides comfortably and reliably. I want a sporty-looking bike with good real-world mileage, low maintenance, and a durable body. I also prefer modern features and technology. Which bike would you recommend for my needs?
Since you haven't mentioned whether or not you want a bike in the same category or want to move up, we'll give you a broad spread of options to choose from.
In the 100cc commuter category, bikes like the Hero Splendor, HF Deluxe and Passion, Honda Shine 100 models and the Bajaj Platina 100 remain compelling propositions for their blend of frugality, comfort, dependability and low ownership costs.
If you want to move up to a 125cc bike, then the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R and Honda CB125 Hornet would be our recommendations. Since you've said you want a sporty look.
Take a test ride of these bikes before making a decision.
I own a 2012 Hero Pleasure and would like to buy a new scooter. My average monthly running will be about 80 km. I need suggestions for a new scooter, preferably under โน1.2 lakh.
In the family scooter segment, our current top picks are the Suzuki Access, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and Honda Activa 110 /125. All are smooth, decently comfortable and will be fuel efficient as well as reliable in the long run.
If you want a sporty scooter, then the TVS Ntorq 125 is your best bet. Although its fuel economy will be a little lower than the others if it is ridden spiritedly.
Take a test ride of all your preferred options before you decide.
Is the Yamaha FZX Hybrid a good buy for regular city commuting of around 15-20 km, or should I buy the Honda SP 160?
The Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid is a reliable, proven, fuel-efficient and decently comfortable machine which will serve you well inside the city.
The Honda SP160 is essentially a re-skinned Unicorn with a few more features. So, its performance and fuel economy too will be very similar to that bike.
Both of these Japanese commuters are decent options in the class and we would encourage you to take a test ride of both to determine which one suits you better.
I am confused between the Yamaha XSR 155 and the Honda NX 200. My usage will be mostly city driving with occasional long drives.
Inside the city, both the Yamaha XSR155 and the Honda NX200 will make for good companions, and it will come down to which bike's styling and riding experience you prefer.
The XSR has a pleasing neo-retro design, and it makes a strong case for itself with its R15-sourced engine and chassis. It is also a rather fuel-efficient machine, and the only thing to look out for is that its rear suspension can feel quite stiff over bad roads.
The NX200 - while not a proper ADV in the true sense - has that rugged look that a lot of people desire. It will also feel like the larger, more spacious machine to sit on, so if you are a taller rider, that might be of interest to you. Do bear in mind that its performance won't be as sprightly as the Yamaha's.
A test ride of both across various road conditions will help you make up your mind.
I have been riding scooters for a long time and want to shift to a bike, but I donโt have much experience with geared motorcycles. I stay in a hilly area, so I need something with good power and strong brakes (it rains a lot here). I also want good pillion comfort for my wife. My average running per month is around 400 km, with occasional drives under 100 km. My budget can be stretched to โน2.5 lakh. Thanks a ton.
Considering your usage and budget, you can look at bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter / Bullet / Classic 350, Honda CB350 trio, TVS Ronin and the Hero Xpulse 210. All have spacious seats, comfortable suspension and have decent braking performance too. A test ride of all these machines with your wife sitting behind you will help you decide which is the right fit for you.
Do bear in mind that making the switch from a scooter to a motorcycle will need good hand and foot coordination to operate the clutch and gear pedal. We recommend you practice on a used bike first before taking the plunge.
