I’ve been riding a Hero Honda CBZ Extreme for 15 years and want to change. I’m looking for a bike that’s good for adventure touring as well as city rides. I’m torn between the Triumph 4T and the Suzuki V-Strom. I’m about 5′7″ tall and around 40 years old. Please advise.
The Triumph Speed T4 is an excellent city machine, and you can also cruise on the highway at 100-110kph comfortably. It offers decent suspension comfort and will be a good fit for a one-bike garage.
The Suzuki V-Strom SX will have more spacious ergonomics and better wind protection on the highway, but its smaller engine will also limit your comfortable cruising speed to 90-100kph. On the other hand, it will also deliver improved fuel economy in the city.

I’m 5'9" tall and weigh over 95 kg. I usually travel on weekends within the city and often encounter bad roads. Scooters like the Activa feel uncomfortable. I’m considering the Hero Xpulse, but reviews mention the pillion seat isn’t comfortable. I didn't like the other options in retro style. Should I go for the Xpulse or consider alternatives?
The Hero Xpulse 210 is a great bike for rough or broken roads thanks to its neutral riding position and plush long-travel suspension. Regarding pillion comfort, it’s best to take your pillion along for a test ride to check if it suits your needs.
If you can stretch your budget slightly, consider the Suzuki V-Strom SX or TVS Apache RTX 300. Both of these bikes offer spacious seats for rider and pillion and similar or better performance than the Xpulse.

Hi, as I mentioned earlier, I currently ride a TVS Jupiter and commute to the office daily, with 50% open roads and 50% bumper-to-bumper traffic. I am 5.6' tall and looking for a bike with modern looks and good mileage between 35 to 40 kmpl. Can I consider the Suzuki V-Strom 250?
You can definitely consider the Suzuki V-Strom SX, but considering your build, something lighter, lower and more manageable will make more sense. The Gixxer 250 sporty naked is a good alternative, considering you're already inclined toward the V-Strom, and it will be a reliable, comfortable and fuel-efficient machine.

I’m planning to purchase a new bike for my daily commute of around 50 km and occasional touring. I’m considering the Honda NX200 but not sure if it will be a practical choice for me. I like the bike for its low service cost and Honda’s reliability.
The NX200 is a good option for daily city commuting, but it will feel a little breathless at fast highway speeds. Something similar you can look at is the Hero Xpulse 210, which will not only be more comfortable but also a little quicker. If you're open to extending your budget, then the Suzuki V-Strom SX is a good option.

I’m planning to buy a new motorcycle in the adventure tourer segment. I’m confused between the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX and the newly launched TVS Apache RTX 300. My main priorities are comfort and reliability. I’m not very keen on features, as they might increase service costs in the long run.
Between the two, the TVS Apache RTX 300 is clearly the better and more well-rounded offering. However, since it’s a brand-new product built on an all-new platform, its long-term reliability remains a question mark. We suggest waiting at least six months before you pull the trigger on the RTX.
On the other hand, the simpler Suzuki V-Strom SX is a machine with unimpeachable reliability, and if you want a hassle-free ownership experience, it will prove to be a safer bet.

I’m planning to buy a new bike for city rides (around 15-20 km daily) and one weekend trip per month. I’ve shortlisted the Honda CB300F and Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX. Which one should I go for?
Since you haven't specified what your physique is like, it will be tough to choose between the two. Both of them are solid choices, and if you're comfortable with a taller machine, then the Suzuki V-Strom SX is a good choice. Honda's USP is its light kerb weight and low seat, both of which will be helpful inside the city, although it can feel a smidge cramped for taller folks over longer distances.
To figure out which is best for you, we'd recommend a thorough test ride and also take into consideration which one has a service centre closer to you.
