Since you've said you prefer cruisers and commute in heavy traffic, of the three bikes you've shortlisted, the Honda CB350 will fit your usage the best. With its low seat, light clutch action and surefooted yet easy handling demeanour, the CB350 makes for a wonderful city companion. Its engine is smooth and torquey, and when ridden sensibly, it returns very impressive fuel economy for a 350cc machine. Plus, seating comfort for both rider and pillion is also quite nice, although if you carry a pillion frequently, it would be prudent to invest in a backrest - it should be a relatively inexpensive option to purchase.The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 is a beautiful motorcycle, but to achieve its gorgeous form, there are some functional compromises. It is by no means a horribly uncomfortable machine, but in comparison to its more conventional siblings - Classic and Bullet 350 - it is surely a step down. Pillion accommodations, too, are mediocre at best, and the main draw here is its unique design. The TVS Apache RTX 300 is the odd one out here and will feel very different to the other bikes you've shortlisted. It has a modern, liquid-cooled engine making substantially more peak output and a 6-speed gearbox. Outright comfort will be another strong point on the RTX, and this is likely to be the most comfortable machine of the lot, owing to its form factor. We'd recommend a test ride of all these bikes before you make a decision, and you should also decide what sort of bike you want before you do so.

Since your usage is mostly going to be inside the city, we'd advise choosing between the Honda CB350RS and 350cc Triumph Speed 400. Both bikes have smooth, torque-focused engines, light clutch action, manageable seat heights and good weight management, which should make them easy to use in the city. Out on the highway, both feel quite unstressed as long as you keep the speeds between 100-110kph at the most in top gear. The Speed 400 will feel more sprightly than the CB350RS owing to its higher output and lower weight but the Honda's engine has a little more character than the Triumph's.The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 is a gorgeous and eye-catching bobber but comfort and highway capabilities aren't exactly its strong suits. If you do want an option from the 350cc Royal Enfield lineup, we'd recommend taking a look at the Bullet / Classic because these bikes are excellent at city duties and if you don't mind carrying a sedate pace on the highway, they'll do the job just fine. These options are very different from one another, so we'd advise you to take proper test rides of each to see which one suits you best before you pull the trigger on your next purchase.

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has a very manageable 765mm seat height, which should suit your stature. But if you want the lowest 350cc Royal Enfield bike, then it would be the Goan Classic. The Goan has an even lower 750mm perch, which will be even easier to flatfoot.Do bear in mind that the Goan Classic's handlebars are taller than usual, and this is something you should pay attention to on a test ride. We'd advise taking test rides of both the Meteor and Goan and pick whichever one suits you best and the one you prefer the look of more.

Since you have mentioned you want a cruiser style bike to ride in the city and keeping your stature in mind, your choices boil down to the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and its sibling, the Goan Classic 350.Both of these Royal Enfield bikes have low seat heights, which should help you plant your feet on the ground and aid confidence when negotiating stop-and-go traffic. Do bear in mind that these bikes with their feet forward and relaxed riding positions will put a lot of weight on your tailbone and transfer road bumps to your spine, so its worth taking a test ride to see whether or not you can live with this sort of position daily.If you want a lighter bike, then the TVS Ronin is a good option, although its seat height is a fair deal taller than the two RE 350s. Provided you have the confidence to manage a bike on your tiptoes, you can consider the TVS bike.

Since you've said you like the looks of the Classic 350, we'll recommend the Goan Classic 350, which, with its low 750mm saddle, will be welcoming for a rider of your stature. Underneath it packs in tried and tested mechanicals so you should be more or less sorted in the long run.Coming to the supposed Triumph Bonneville 350, there's no official confirmation yet from either Bajaj or Triumph regarding this bike. We recommend keeping an eye on our website and social media channels for the latest verified automotive news and updates.

In the 350cc category, bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter / Bullet / Classic 350, Honda CB350 trio and TVS Ronin - which is smaller but has comparable performance - are our top picks. Pick the one you like the look and riding experience of the most because all bikes are proven machines that will last you a long time. If you want something with a low seat height, the RE Hunter (790mm), Meteor (765mm) and Goan Classic (750mm) are your best bets. A test ride will help you decide.

Since you have mentioned you are looking for retro-styled, easygoing motorcycles with occasional two-up riding, here are your options. First and foremost, you should take a look at the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. With its low seat height and fairly manageable size, the Hunter will prove welcoming for a smaller person like yourself and will have decent comfort with two people onboard. For similar reasons, you should also consider the TVS Ronin. It is also a much lighter machine than the Hunter, which will give you confidence when riding the bike, especially with a pillion. If you want something with an even lower seat height, then bikes like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Goan Classic 350 are what you should be looking at. They have good suspension, but owing to their feet-forward riding position, a lot of the jolt gets transferred to your back over bad stretches of road. A test ride should help you decide which is the correct bike for you.

If you want to stick to the cruiser format, we would recommend the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 (seat height: 765mm) and the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 (seat height: 750mm). Do bear in mind that these bikes - while fairly low - weigh close to 200kg, so you will need some time to adjust to their weights. If you're open to another form factor - more specifically, a sporty-looking street naked - we would steer you toward the Honda CB300F. That's because with its light 153kg weight and approachable 789mm seat height, it will be a very manageable bike. Take a test ride of everything you shortlist before making the final decision.

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has one of the lowest seat heights in the class and is a bike that will be good for shorter riders to get comfortable with. We would also recommend taking a look at the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 because that has a seat that's lower still. Take proper test rides before you decide.

Since almost all of your usage is going to be in the city, going for the Royal Enfield Classic 650 doesn't make sense because its rear suspension is quite stiff, and in traffic, its 243kg kerb weight will be a task to deal with, especially considering the way the engine will splay your legs out. You are right to worry about fuel efficiency because the 648cc twin is not very fuel efficient at slow city speeds, especially considering the bike's 243kg kerb weight. The Classic 350 is a lovely bike to use inside the city with its upright ergonomics, plush suspension and torquey, soulful engine. The Goan Classic is also something you can take a look at if you like its custom bike look, although it does trade off a little bit of practicality and comfort to the Classic.
