If you want a sporty naked with peppy performance without sacrificing fuel economy to a great extent, look at the TVS Apache RTR 310. The Apache has a friendly 800mm seat height, plush suspension that still gives you the composure you need when riding hard and a punchy engine. On the higher variants, you also get some very unique features such as keyless ignition and adjustable suspension, although these might cross the Rs 3 lakh mark. Even so, the RTR 310 comes well-equipped out of the box and will offer a good step up in performance compared to your Jawa 42.If you want a touring bike, then your only option in this price range is the 350cc Bajaj Dominar 400. The Dominar has an approachable 800mm seat height, is comfortable, has enough performance and comes with a lot of essentials that you need to go touring, right out of the showroom. It is a heavy machine, but its weight lends it stability on the highway, although at slower city speeds, you will feel it.Take test rides of both before you make a decision to see which one suits your usage pattern better.

The Kawasaki Ninja 300 is a thoroughly dated machine in all respects, but it has some unique strengths in today's market. If you like the baby Ninja, then it still makes sense to go for it, although we'd recommend paying full price and going for the latest model. Because the older ones won't be E20 compatible. Real-world fuel economy is subjective and depends on a multitude of factors. So we can't tell you what you should expect; for reference, you may check out our fuel efficiency numbers from when we road tested the Ninja 300. Coming to the TVS Apache RR 310, this is a more modern and feature-rich machine and will also be cheaper to buy and maintain in the long run. However, purchasing it without taking a test ride is an avoidable risk, and we'd recommend you try to get a test ride from TVS once more before you make a decision.

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.

The KTM 250 Duke you are considering makes for a great one-bike garage to handle city and highway duties both. It has a punchy - yet not overwhelming - amount of grunt, engaging handling and will also return good fuel economy. Coming to the Triumph Speed T4, depending on how you ride, you should see decent fuel economy even inside city traffic. Since the bike is made by Bajaj, it shouldn't be too expensive to maintain. The advantage of the Speed T4 over the Duke will be its more effortless performance and more comfortable seating and suspension. And since you are shopping in this space, the TVS Apache RTR 310 is also worth taking a look at. The RTR 310 is a feature-rich machine with good performance and handling. Also, we will recommend you get the variant with the quickshifter as it is still priced sensibly, and this feature will enhance the riding experience. Since these are different machines in the riding experience they deliver, we'd recommend a test ride of all three before you decide.

Since you are a TVS owner, there are a couple of products you can consider from the same manufacturer itself. The TVS Ronin and Apache RTR 310 will both be good options to step up to, although they will have very different riding experiences. The former will have a more relaxed, torque-rich riding experience, while the latter will have an engine that will reward you the more you rev it.In a similiar vein, you can also consider the KTM 250 Duke, which will be an energetic machine that's reasonably fuel efficient too. If you're open to getting an ADV, bikes like the TVS Apache RTX 300 and Hero Xpulse 210 make for good options in your price range. Take a test ride of all before you decide.
