Hi, I'm aged 45, and my riding experience started way back from 1994, with the age old Silver Plus, Chetak scooter (superb / cub), LML Vespa, Bajaj M80/ Caliber /Pulsar (2002), Honda Unicorn, Bullet 350 (1982 / 1988 model), CBZ extreme, Interceptor 650, Bullet 350 (2023) and now the V Storm SX 250. In my research and experience, this bike suits best for person height above 5'6", it's one best touring bike in the entry level. Don't expect all the features of all the bikes in a single machine, this bike has been designed for touring purpose and it can very well manage our indian street bad roads (wherever present) State & National Highway. This bike provide comfortable riding posture, linear power delivery, smoother engine rev (I love this) and best fuel efficiency between 37 to 41 KMPL. If you looking for off-roading bike, pls look into other available bikes. If it's in your purchase list, just go for it, if your priority is whatever, i mentioned above.

Dear Consultant, I was the owner of a Honda CB Unicorn, satisfied with the comfort. In January 2026, I purchased a Triumph Speed T4 (2025 ). I really like the acceleration, torque and looks, but facing heat management issues. Seating, including pillion, is not comfortable. I have a family with 4 year kid. Now I'm planning to exchange. My concern: 1. My bike is on EMI until July 2027. 2. Premium looks and comfort are important. 3. Don't like the retro look of RE Classic 350/ Bullet/ Honda CB 350 Model, etc. I commonly use a bike from October to April. Please suggest to me exactly what I need to exchange my bike as per use? If yes, please suggest a reliable engine up to 350cc with a comfortable posture and long-term use. My age 37. Height 5'10".

We'd advise taking a look at the TVS Apache RTX 300 for your needs. The RTX's liquid-cooled engine has lovely heat management, and it's unlikely that you'll face any engine heat-related issues on this machine. The RTX's seats are also wide, spacious and well-padded, which should be conducive to two-up comfort. We'd recommend you go for the middle RTX variant as that has everything you'll need and more. If you want a bike that keeps it simple, then the Suzuki V-Strom SX is a severely underrated machine. It has spacious seats, and while its suspension came off the Gixxer 250, it is a well-judged unit which will keep you comfortable over most road surfaces you'll encounter. Additionally, the V-Strom SX is a good deal lighter than the RTX, which should make it easy to manage at slower speeds. If your bank’s pre-closure cost is high, keep the Triumph till this summer ends and swap before October. Otherwise, switch now.Take a test ride of both machines before you make your decision to see which one suits you better.

I am planning to buy a reliable motorcycle that can cruise comfortably for long distances while also offering a great ownership experience in terms of reliability, fuel efficiency, and service costs. I am interested in the Suzuki V-Strom SX, but I feel a bit skeptical since it is now an older model. Is it still worth buying the V-Strom SX in 2026, or are there other motorcycles that can match the expectations I mentioned above?

The Suzuki V-Strom SX may be a dated machine, but it is a great option for someone who wants a relaxed, reliable and fuel-efficient touring machine. If you are open to considering other form factors aside from the adventure bike style, there are some other machines that will fit the bill for your usage as well. In the neo-retro space, the TVS Ronin, Honda CB350 models and Royal Enfield Classic / Bullet 350 will be good options to consider with their relaxed riding triangles, smooth and torquey engines, as well as plush suspension setups. These bikes won't be as fuel-efficient as the V-Strom, but the drop isn't going to be too drastic either. Take a test ride of these bikes before you make a decision.

I am currently using a 10-year-old Classic 350. It is still fine, but I want to change it now. My budget is Rs 2.5 lakh, and I am considering the Honda NX200 or the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250. Please suggest which one to choose. I am open to other recommendations as well. I am not looking for a bike with an aggressive riding posture.

Since you are looking at ADV-style bikes, we recommend you consider the TVS Apache RTX 300, as it will be available within your budget. The RTX is a comfortable, feature-loaded, and powerful motorcycle that is priced close to smaller, less feature-rich bikes and therefore warrants serious consideration.If you want to stick with a Japanese brand instead, between the Honda NX200 and Suzuki V-Strom SX you've shortlisted, the Suzuki makes for the better all-rounder. Take a test ride of these three to see which one suits you best.

I want to change my bike and am confused between the Honda H’ness CB350, Honda NX200, Suzuki V-Storm, and Suzuki Gixxer. Please suggest which one is good and has an affordable service cost.

All the bikes you are considering are great options and have reasonable servicing costs. The CB350 H'ness is a relaxed, comfortable retro bike with a smooth, torquey engine. The Honda NX200 is a tall, quasi-ADV based on the Hornet 2.0 street bike, which means it will be suitable for daily use. The Gixxer and V-Strom SX from Suzuki are refined, punchy machines that are also fuel-efficient and quite reliable. A test ride of all 4 is in order so that you can decide which is the best option for your needs.

Sir, I want to buy a new bike for my son. He is 6′1″ tall and weighs 90 kg. I want a bike with good safety features for his daily use of around 40 km. My budget is below ₹3 lakh. Please advise.

Since this will be his first bike, we recommend getting a bike with dual-channel ABS (at the very least) in terms of safety features. Keeping his physique in mind, bikes like the Hero Xpulse 200 / 210, Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic 350, TVS Ronin, Honda CB350 trio and Suzuki V-Strom SX will be good options to consider. Do take him for test rides of all of these so he can decide which one fits him best.
