For your usage within your budget, you will have a good mix of neo-retro and sporty naked bikes to choose from. The Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 both combine minimalist, neo-retro design with 40hp performance. If you want something that's more relaxed, then look at options like the TVS Ronin, Honda CB350 models and the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. These are likely to be the most comfortable bikes of everything we'll recommend you try. If you want something a little sportier, then you should consider the TVS Apache RTR 310 and KTM 250 Duke / Husqvarna Svartpilen 250. These will feel more engaging and sporty than other bikes on the list while still being fairly usable and comfortable daily. Since all the bikes recommended here are very different, we'd recommend a thorough test ride to see which one suits you best.

Since you are a TVS owner, there are a couple of products you can consider from the same manufacturer itself. The TVS Ronin and Apache RTR 310 will both be good options to step up to, although they will have very different riding experiences. The former will have a more relaxed, torque-rich riding experience, while the latter will have an engine that will reward you the more you rev it.In a similiar vein, you can also consider the KTM 250 Duke, which will be an energetic machine that's reasonably fuel efficient too. If you're open to getting an ADV, bikes like the TVS Apache RTX 300 and Hero Xpulse 210 make for good options in your price range. Take a test ride of all before you decide.

Of the three bikes you've shortlisted, the Hero Xtreme 250R and the TVS Apache RTR 310 will feel like the more substantial upgrades. However, both TVS and Hero have spotty reputations for service, especially in the context of their premium products, so that is something to bear in mind.The Yamaha XSR155 is a delightful machine, but it won't feel like a big upgrade over your Raider. We recommend you take a look at something like the Honda CB300F and the KTM 250 Duke. Do take test rides of all shortlisted options before going ahead with your purchase.
