•1dHi, I am thinking of adding a second bike to my garage (my primary bike is a Ducati Scrambler, which I have ridden for over 12,000 km in the last two years). My primary use case for the second bike is that it should be city-friendly, lightweight, capable of handling a pillion for city commutes, and still be fun to ride with good handling in the twisties (for quick breakfast rides, though the Scrambler will handle most of those). I have shortlisted the Duke 160 and 200. The new 200 now has the same weight savings as the 160, and both bikes are only ₹18,000 apart. I have test ridden the 160 multiple times and found it to be smooth (unlike a typical KTM), with decent torque in the low to mid rev range and a step up in power post 6,000 RPM for some fun. I haven’t been able to test ride the new 200 yet. I have been told that it feels more crude in comparison, requires higher revs to perform well, heats up quickly, and has some vibrations. Which bike would suit my use case better?

Between 160 and 200 Duke models, we'd steer you toward the 200 Duke because it seems like you're looking for a fun machine and since you already have a bigger machine at home, the 160 could feel a little bland as time wears on. The 200 Duke has a rev-happy nature like the 160 Duke and with its added firepower, it makes for a good second machine, especially considering that the price difference between the two isn't all that large. If we're being honest, you should actually also take a look at the 250 Duke because it is a genuine step up over the 200 and if you're going to keep the bike for a while, go the whole hog and get something that will keep you entertained for a longer period. In our experience, we've found the latest-gen 250 Duke to be a sweet middle child of sorts in the KTM lineup, which offers everyday versatility with engaging performance when you want it. Over the 200 Duke, the 250 also doesn't cost a lot more and we'd recommend you stretch your budget if you can and get the quarter-litre Duke if you can.Take a test ride of the 250 Duke to see if you resonate with this KTM bike and then make your decision.

•18wWhat 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.

Autocar India
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.

•19wI own and ride a KTM 390 Adventure 2023 and also a Royal Enfield Classic 500, but my work is around 22 kms one way and I am looking for a bike thats between the 2 bikes I already have, light weight like the KTM but easy to ride in the city traffic like the Classic 500 and with fuel efficiency around 50kms per litre at least. What would you suggest I go with, please guide.

Autocar India
Considering your fuel efficiency requirements and city usage, something in the sporty 160cc commuter class like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V or Bajaj Pulsar N160 will make for a good fit.If you have the budget, bikes like the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha XSR155 will also fit the bill with engaging performance and excellent fuel economy. Do take test rides of all shortlisted options before making a decision.

•24wI currently ride a 2014 Honda Unicorn 150. I’m looking to upgrade to a higher-cc bike that offers mileage around 40 km/L. My budget is ₹2 lakh. I need a pillion-friendly motorcycle suitable for family use. My daily commute is about 20 km. Please suggest options.

Autocar India
Since you have had a good experience with a Honda machine, you could stick with the brand and go with the Honda CB300F. The CB300F is light, comfortable, spacious and will return decent fuel economy. If you want to switch brands, the Bajaj Pulsar N250 and the Suzuki Gixxer 250 make for good upgrade options with their smooth engines and comfortable ergonomics. If you don't mind staying in the same displacement range while getting a significant performance bump, the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 warrant consideration. With their liquid-cooled engines and light weights, these two will give you the performance step up you want without sacrificing on mileage.

•25wI’m looking for a bike that looks good and offers lots of features. I’m considering the TVS RTX 300 for its features, but I’m also tempted to wait for the Yamaha XSR. I feel the RTX’s weight might be too much for me - I rode an Apache 160 comfortably, and I don’t think I can handle a bike weighing over 150 kg. I want a bike with 40-50 kmpl mileage, good looks, and plenty of features. I’ve also considered the Pulsar and Unicorn; don’t limit suggestions to these. What should I choose?

Autocar India
Since you're shopping in the 150/160cc segment and want flashy looks, good features and decent mileage too, here are all the options you should consider. The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is a smooth, comfortable yet decently sporty machine. Also, since you mentioned that you want a more manageable machine, we'll stick with options that have a low seat and are lightweight. In a similar vein, you can also consider the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and Honda SP160, too. If you can extend your budget, bikes like the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 will also fit the bill because they have punchy performance, yet return good fuel efficiency and are lightweight and manageable too.

•25wHi - I’ve been riding a 2014 Unicorn and now I’m looking to buy a new bike. Could you help me decide whether I should go for a 150 cc or a 350 cc model? I won’t be doing long rides very often - my weekly distance will be just about 10-12 km at most. I’m looking for something stylish, not the traditional Unicorn look. Here are some models I’m considering: the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda CB350RS, Bajaj Pulsar N160 / Pulsar N250, and the TVS Apache RTR 160. Could you advise?

Autocar India
If you're not going to go on longer journeys often and want to stay in the same displacement range as your Unicorn, the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V will serve you well. If you want a small step up in terms of performance without sacrificing too much fuel economy, the Bajaj Pulsar N250, Honda Hornet 2.0 and Suzuki Gixxer 250 will fit the bill. You can also take a look at the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 because, while they have smaller displacement engines, they are liquid-cooled and offer punchy performance with great fuel economy. The more laidback Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Honda CB350RS will definitely feel more special in their riding experience and fit & finish. Also, it will be significantly more expensive to buy and maintain compared to the aforementioned bikes.

•26wI currently own a Honda Activa and want a reliable motorcycle. I’m 5'9" tall and my budget is up to ₹2 lakh. Daily commuting is up to 20 km. I’ve been diagnosed with a slipped disc, so I need a bike with good suspension and a comfortable riding posture for two. I prefer a sporty look, low maintenance, strong fuel efficiency, and good after-sales service. Which bike should I buy?

Autocar India
Since you have mentioned you want a bike that looks sporty but is comfortable to ride, something in the 150-160cc sporty commuter space like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Honda SP160, or Hero Xtreme 160R 4V will serve you well. If you want something that is packed with more performance but is still usable and comfortable inside the city, the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 are options you should consider. We would also recommend the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 because it is a comfortable, approachable and reliable machine, although it doesn't have the sporty look you want.

•26wI’m 5'2" tall, and my daily commute is about 10km. On weekends, I ride up to 50km. I previously owned a Pulsar 150. My budget is under ₹2 lakh. Which bike should I go for?

Autocar India
If you want to stay in the same category, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Suzuki Gixxer, or the Yamaha FZ models are worth considering.If you want to step up to a bigger bike but still want it to feel approachable, the Bajaj Pulsar N250, Suzuki Gixxer 250, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, or the Honda CB300F will fit the bill.Some other options you can consider are the Yamaha MT-15 V2 and the KTM 160 Duke, because even though their displacement is lower, they pack in engaging performance, but are still very usable on a daily basis.

•26wHi, I’m looking to buy a new bike with an on-road budget of ₹2-2.2 lakh in Bangalore. My daily use is about 25 km to the office, plus a weekend road trip once every 2–3 months. I’m 25 years old and prefer a bike that returns over 35 kmpl. Please suggest suitable models. Thanks!

Autocar India
There are two types of bikes you can consider - sporty, liquid-cooled 160cc streetfighters and air-cooled, sporty-looking 160cc commuter bikes. In the former category, your options are the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15, while in the latter, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V can be considered. If you don't mind lower fuel efficiency, then the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 can also be a fun option within your budget. Another option that can be considered is the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, which will have a very different engine feel from any other option listed above, but will be comfortable and decently fuel-efficient. Something you can also consider if you're open to an ADV is the Hero Xpulse 210, which ticks all the boxes you want.

•27wHi, I’m looking for a motorcycle to commute to work (80 km round trip). I’ve shortlisted the Yamaha MT-15 V2, which blends sporty handling, performance, and fuel efficiency. I have two queries: 1. I’m 5’11” and ride mostly solo. Will the MT 15 suit me? 2. Does it make sense to wait for the Yamaha XSR 155? There’s a lot of speculation about its launch soon.

Autocar India
The Yamaha MT-15 V2 is a great option, but for your 5’11” frame, it could feel a little cramped over long durations. We recommend looking at the KTM 160 Duke, which is a more spacious motorcycle with similar performance and efficiency.As for the Yamaha XSR 155, it’s expected to launch before the end of 2025. If that’s a bike you’re interested in, it would make sense to wait a few months.
