Triumph Speed 400 price in Memari

Within your budget, you should look at bikes like the TVS Ronin, Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Honda CB350 and Triumph Speed 400. Of these four, the Speed 400 will be the fastest, but it also offers a good level of comfort and usability for daily use. Its tractable engine, short gearing and light clutch will make it a good city companion. 

The other three bikes are more relaxed in their nature but will still offer a tangible step up from your old Hornet 160, especially in the comfort they offer you. 

Take a test ride of these bikes to see which one suits your riding style best before making a decision. 

Of all the bikes you have shortlisted, the Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will be the most usable without sacrificing performance due to their upright ergonomics and powerful 40hp engines. 

The KTM RC 390 will feel the most at home on winding roads, but inside the city, it won't be the most user-friendly with its canted forward riding position and peaky engine. Speaking of committed ergonomics, the Triumph Thruxton 400 is by far the most uncomfortable machine here. If you plan to use it daily, you will need to put up with a seriously focused riding position.

Coming to the two 310s, the TVS Apache RR 310 has been kept fresh with small updates every year, while the BMW G 310 RR has stayed pretty much the same since it came out. The TVS is also more affordable and packs in more power, features and better componentry, but if you value the BMW badge, then the G 310 RR is the most affordable way into BMW ownership. 

We'd also recommend taking a look at the KTM 390 Duke because it is a bike you can commute on during the week and have fun on during the weekend. 

A test ride should help you decide which is the best bike for you. 

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. 

The TVS Apache RTR 310 will be a good step up from your current Apache RTR 180. The RTR 310 is a sporty machine with good performance and handling, which doesn't feel overly stiff or uncompromising and makes for a good all-rounder. 

As you have pointed out, there have been sporadic issues with TVS' aftersales. But if you are prepared to deal with them - and it does seem like your heart is set on the Apache - then you can go ahead with the RTR 310.

If you are open to looking at other brands, the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, Triumph Speed 400 and KTM 250 Duke all make for genuinely capable alternatives, with the Bajaj and Triumph also offering you quite a bit more performance. 

We would urge you to take a test ride and speak to your nearest dealer for aftersales of each bike so you can make a more informed decision. 

If you want something with a bit of sporting intent in the way it rides, the Triumph Speed 400 makes for a good purchase. It is a relaxed city commuter with good suspension, a smooth and grunty engine, as well as an agile demeanour. If you want a more mellow riding experience but want a Triumph, the Speed T4 makes a good case for itself. 

If you want bikes with a more old-school riding experience, then the Honda CB350 models and the Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic / Hunter 350 models deserve your attention. 

All bikes here have been out for multiple years now and have largely proven themselves to be reliable machines. 

A test ride of these bikes will help you decide which one suits you the best.
