Of the four bikes in your shortlist, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will offer you the most performance as well as the highest levels of long-distance capability and comfort. However, inside the city, it will feel large and a little top-heavy at crawling speeds, and its fuel economy, too, will be lower than the rest owing to its larger motor. The Himalayan 450 is also quite a bit more expensive than the other bikes you are looking at.

The Honda CB350 H'ness and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 are comparable neo-retro roadsters. It will be great inside the city, and as long as you are a sedate rider, it should be reasonably comfortable and capable on the highway too. 

You will have to take a call based on how much time you're going to spend in the city vs out on the highway, and whether your budget permits you to stretch for the Himalayan. 

If you're okay with handling a big bike in the city, then the Himalayan 450 does make for a fantastic all-rounder. 

We'd recommend a test ride of these three, nonetheless, so you can decide which one suits you best.

In the price range you're looking at, there are a variety of options in different body styles, so we'll list them out for you. If you want a sporty road bike, then options like the KTM 390 Duke, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and Triumph Speed 400 are the way to go. Do bear in mind that the KTM can feel quite cramped for taller riders and, over longer stints in the saddle, this will become even more pronounced. 

If you are leaning toward an adventure bike, you should be looking at the TVS Apache RTX 300, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure models. The RTX will feel the slowest because of its smaller displacement, and it also weighs 180kg. 

Since you have a long commute from time to time and are a taller person, we would recommend you steer clear of sportbikes and cruisers. Also, stick to roadsters or adventure bikes, as they will be more comfortable. 

A test ride of the above mentioned options - and anything else you may shortlist - will help you decide which bike is right for you. 

Since you haven't specified your budget or displacement cap, recommending something accurately won't be possible. So we will give you a bunch of options across different displacement and price brackets. The type of machine that will best meet all your criteria is an adventure bike. At the lower end of the spectrum, you can take a look at the TVS Apache RTX 300, which has all the features you want and then some in its top-spec BTO guise. 

One step above that would be bikes like the KTM 390 Adventure models and the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, which are excellent all-rounders at pretty decent price points. 

If you can stretch for it - and since this is your final bike purchase, we would strongly recommend you do - the Honda NX500 makes a serious case for itself. With its twin-cylinder engine, it will have the obvious refinement advantage over the other bikes mentioned here. It is also a machine that has cemented its reputation for reliability and low ownership costs over time. Also, it checks the feature and riding experience boxes that you are looking for. 

That being said, it would be advisable to take a test ride of each bike and see which one suits you best before making a decision.  

The latest-gen KTM 390 Adventure is a feature-rich and capable machine in the ADV bike space and makes for a good purchase. KTM India is unaffected by whatever financial troubles its parent company was going through some time ago. Bajaj has already made a significant investment in the Austrian brand to ensure it continues on and gets back to full strength in all regards soon. 

Other options to consider in this class are the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the Honda NX500. Do bear in mind that the Honda is significantly more expensive than the two single-cylinder machines mentioned above But also brings twin-cylinder smoothness, Japanese reliability and low running costs to the table. 

A test ride of these three will help you make an informed decision regarding your purchase. 

TVS hasn't disclosed any plans to enter the 400-500cc space anytime soon with an ADV. Although the 585cc Norton Atlas - made entirely in Hosur - will be launching in India this year. 

Considering your physique and your priority for good suspension and pillion comfort, we'll recommend a variety of adventure bikes as this will be the most capable format of bike for your needs. The new TVS Apache RTX 300 has lovely suspension comfort and gives you a big bike look and feel at a stellar price. We'd recommend stretching for the top BTO variant with adjustable suspension so that you can fine-tune the settings for you and your pillion's weight. 

Another great option is the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, which has excellent suspension composure and control - despite being non-adjustable. The Himalayan also offers you a very roomy rider's triangle, which will be important for riding two-up. Plus, with its more powerful engine, it will be less strained when hauling the weight of a rider and pillion. 

Take a test ride of these bikes to see which one works best for you before you make a decision.
