TVS Jupiter Disc SXC

In the family scooter space, consider the TVS Jupiter 110 and 125, Honda Activa 110 and 125, as well as the Suzuki Access, which are our top picks in the category currently. 

Since you haven't mentioned a price cap or displacement range for the motorcycle, we will provide options from both the 125cc and 160cc commuter classes. They will be easy-going, frugal, comfortable, and affordable machines to buy and own. 

In the 125cc class, bikes like the Honda Shine 125 / SP125 / Honda CB125 Hornet, Hero Xtreme 125R / Super Splendor / Glamour and TVS Raider warrant strong consideration. 

Coming to the 160cc class, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Honda Unicorn / SP160 and Yamaha FZ models are worth taking a look at.

Take a test ride of all before you make a decision. 

Both the TVS Jupiter 110 and the Suzuki Access 125 are good options to consider. The Jupiter is a more modern scooter and offers far more features than anything in its class. Also, it's very practical thanks to its huge 33-litre underseat storage area. The Access has all the strengths of a traditional family scooter, but it has peppy performance that will put a smile on your face during daily errands. 

You can also take a look at the Honda Activa 125 since you are familiar with the Honda ownership experience. The bigger Activa is a smooth, comfortable, practical and fuel-efficient scooter which will also be reliable and easy to live with. 

We suggest you take a test ride of all three scooters to see which one you find more comfortable.

Since your daily usage is quite high and you also frequently travel with a pillion, we'll recommend you look at the Suzuki Burgman Street EX. With its spacious seats, well-balanced suspension setup, peppy yet fuel-efficient 125cc engine and 12-inch wheels at both ends, the Burgman EX will make for a good companion. 

If you want to stick to 110cc scooters, we'd recommend the TVS Jupiter 110 because it comes with 12-inch wheels at both ends and has supple suspension, which will help you since you travel a lot with two people on board. 

It also has a handy winged preload adjuster for the monoshock, which will help you tailor the suspension with added load easily. 

Take a test ride of both these options before you decide. 

Since you have had such a nice experience with your Honda Activa, you can look at the latest Activa 110cc and Activa 125cc variants of the scooter, which will carry forward the same sort of experience your current scooter delivers, with added features. 

If you want to look elsewhere, the TVS Jupiter models and the Suzuki Access are our current favourites in the scooter class. If you would like something that's flashier in terms of looks and has slightly more performance without sacrificing practicality and comfort, the TVS Ntorq is a good option. 

Considering you have some back pain, we would recommend you stick with a motorcycle as the big wheels, longer-travel suspension and neutral riding ergonomics will keep you shielded from road imperfections. Inside your budget, we would recommend 125cc bikes like the Honda Shine 125, Hero Super Splendor / Glamour models, TVS Raider 125 and Hero Xtreme 125R. Depending on the sort of style you are after, you can choose between any of these. 

Since you have asked us about a scooter, our current top picks are the TVS Jupiter 110, Suzuki Access and Honda Activa 125. While the scooters will be more practical, they will not be as ultra comfortable as a motorcycle over bigger bumps. 

Take an exhaustive test ride before you decide.
