Questions you may find useful
I 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.
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.
I’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?
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.
I 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?
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.
Hi, 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!
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.
Which family bike should I buy in the 125cc–150cc segment that offers strong mileage and full features? I am looking for a model with a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke single-cylinder engine, dual disc brakes, ABS, and an elegant look. Could you recommend suitable options?
Since you haven’t specified your budget or exact usage, here are some credible options across both segments:In the 125cc sporty space, strong choices include the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R, and Honda CB125 Hornet. If you prefer a more conventional look, you could also consider bikes like the Hero Super Splendor, Glamour, Honda Shine 125, or SP 125. Most of these models offer ABS on at least one variant, as you requested.In the 150–160cc category, sporty commuters like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are good picks. For larger riders, the Pulsar N160 offers a more spacious ride. And even though it is more than two decades old at this point, the trusty Honda Unicorn is worth considering if you want a no-nonsense but solid and comfortable commuting partner.For liquid-cooled options in the 150–160cc space, only the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 V2 fit the bill. Both are great for commuting, though their design may not be classically elegant.
