For your usage within your budget, you will have a good mix of neo-retro and sporty naked bikes to choose from. The Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 both combine minimalist, neo-retro design with 40hp performance. If you want something that's more relaxed, then look at options like the TVS Ronin, Honda CB350 models and the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. These are likely to be the most comfortable bikes of everything we'll recommend you try. If you want something a little sportier, then you should consider the TVS Apache RTR 310 and KTM 250 Duke / Husqvarna Svartpilen 250. These will feel more engaging and sporty than other bikes on the list while still being fairly usable and comfortable daily. Since all the bikes recommended here are very different, we'd recommend a thorough test ride to see which one suits you best.

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.

Of the three bikes you've shortlisted, the Hero Xtreme 250R and the TVS Apache RTR 310 will feel like the more substantial upgrades. However, both TVS and Hero have spotty reputations for service, especially in the context of their premium products, so that is something to bear in mind.The Yamaha XSR155 is a delightful machine, but it won't feel like a big upgrade over your Raider. We recommend you take a look at something like the Honda CB300F and the KTM 250 Duke. Do take test rides of all shortlisted options before going ahead with your purchase.

Some options you can consider are the TVS Apache RTR 310, KTM 390 Duke, Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. The Triumph and Royal Enfield aren't as overly sporty as the other two and will have a more effortless riding experience owing to their torque delivery, which is earlier in the rev band. The KTM 390 Duke is a proven product when it comes to sheer speed, but in its latest avatar has become quite compact, which may not be the best thing if you are a larger person. Last but not least, the TVS Apache RTR 310 has great handling and reasonable performance. We would recommend getting the variant with the quickshifter on the TVS as that offers the best value for your money. Take a test ride of everything you're considering before you decide.

Both the bikes you have mentioned will fit the bill for your use case. However, both the Triumph Scrambler 400 X and the TVS Apache RTX 300 have tall seat heights (830mm or more), and for a new rider of your stature, they could feel like a little too much, especially at slow speeds and during off-roading. We would strongly recommend a test ride of both before you decide to go ahead with your purchase. If these two prove to be too tall for you, something more street-biased (and crucially, lower) like the Triumph Speed 400 or Apache RTR 310 from these respective brands would be a good fit.
