I am 36 years old, and my daily commute is about 90 km (to and from) six days a week. I currently own a 2016 Hero Glamour PGM-FI. I now want to buy an EV bike or scooter for daily commuting. My 90 km run includes about 40 km in heavy traffic and 50 km on the highway. You may also suggest suitable 125/150 cc bikes. Please advise.
Since you have a long daily commute, you will need a scooter with a battery capacity of 3.5kWh or more, so you have a healthy buffer in case of emergencies or to account for spontaneity. Among our top picks in the EV space today are the Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and Ather Rizta.
Among the 125cc commuters, you can consider the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R, Honda Shine / SP125, Honda CB125 Hornet, Hero Super Splendor and Hero Glamour X. In the 150/160cc space, we would recommend the Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160.
We would recommend you take a test ride of everything you shortlist before you make up your mind.

I have been using a Discover 125 ST (2012 model) for the past 10 years, and my daily commute is around 30 km. I am now looking to buy a new bike and would appreciate your expertise. My requirements are good suspension to manage back pain, a comfortable seat, and good handling, as I am 6 feet tall and weigh 80 kg. I want a 125cc bike with good mileage, and braking performance is my top priority. My budget is ₹1 lakh to ₹1.5 lakh.
Taking your requirements into account, you can consider the TVS Raider and the Hero Xtreme 125R. Both are comfortable and spacious machines with decent handling capabilities. Both also gained some new variants recently.
The Xtreme 125R got a new variant with dual-channel ABS, while the Raider was updated with a new variant that has single-channel ABS and a rear disc brake too. We would advise you to choose between these as braking performance is a priority for you.

Hi team, I own a Honda Activa 2019, which I hate for its ride quality. I want to buy a bike or scooter with a budget of ₹1.4 to 1.8 lakh (up to ₹2 lakh if required), which has a good ride quality, good suspension, good seat cushion/comfort, no back pain, and reasonable mileage and maintenance. My ride will be mostly in the city with 40km/day.
Within your budget, you have a variety of options, and we'll first recommend the scooters since that is your current mode of transport. In the scooter segment, the TVS Jupiter models and the Suzuki Access are our top picks for their balance of practicality, fuel economy, and comfort. If you want something flashier looking, you can consider the TVS Ntorq and the Suzuki Avenis, although the former is a much sportier product.
Moving to motorcycles, you can opt for anything in the 125-160cc space. Within the 125cc class, you can choose between the Honda Shine and Hero Super Splendor / Glamour models if you want a straightforward, no-frills commuter.
On the other hand, bikes like the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R, and Honda CB125 Hornet will give you sportier looks, peppier performance, and more features too.
Finally, in the 160cc space, bikes like the Honda Unicorn, Bajaj Pulsar N160, and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V will serve you well. Do take a test ride of every option you're considering before you decide.

I want to upgrade from my 2013 Honda Shine and am looking for a peppy-performing motorcycle for city use only. Please suggest options in the 125cc and 150-160cc segments.
In the 125cc category, you have a long list of options with varying body types and feature sets. In the traditional commuter class, you could consider the Honda Shine and the Hero Super Splendor Xtec / Glamour models. If you want a sporty-looking, feature-rich commuter, you can consider the Honda CB125 Hornet, TVS Raider, and Hero Xtreme 125R.
In the 160cc category, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V would be our recommendations on the sportier end of the scale. If you want a simple, straightforward commuter, the Honda Unicorn and any of the Yamaha FZ models will serve you well.
Take a thorough test ride of the bikes you shortlist before you decide.

I’m planning to buy a new bike. I previously rode a Dio (until 2017) and a Maestro Edge (until 2021), and currently own a TVS Jupiter with 1.6 lakh km on the odo. I work as a field service engineer and travel about 150 km per day. I sometimes carry small spares with me. I prefer TVS or Honda because their showroom is under 1 km from my home. I am 5 ft 6 in tall. Please suggest suitable bike options.
Since you have a long commute, we'll recommend bikes in the 125cc segment as they will be quite fuel efficient, which will be an important factor for you. From Honda's stable, you can take a look at the Shine 125, SP125 and Hornet 125 - all three are based on the same platform, but the Hornet is sportier and has more features than the other two.
From TVS' lineup, you can take a look at the Raider, which will be light, fuel efficient and comfortable and is available across a wide price band too.
Take proper test rides of all options you shortlist before you make a decision.

I need a new bike for my daily commute in Pune city of at least 50km each day. I am looking for something that offers good mileage, is reliable, comfortable and stylish. My on-road budget is ₹1.5 lakh.
If you want to prioritise fuel economy, a 125cc commuter like the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R and the Honda CB125 Hornet will serve you well. The top variants of the TVS and the Hero come with single-channel ABS (as does the Hornet), and these are the ones we would recommend you consider.
If you want to step up to a 150cc bike, models like the Honda Unicorn, Bajaj Pulsar N160 lower variants and the more affordable Yamaha FZ bikes will fit the bill.

Asked by: Prakash Manickamon Nov 9, 2025
I am 35 years old and planning to buy a scooter or bike with a budget of ₹1.5 lakh. I typically travel about 25-30 km daily. I have existing back pain, so good suspension is my primary requirement. Please suggest suitable scooter or bike options.
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.

I am about 5'6" tall and weigh 85 kg, based in Gurgaon. My typical round-trip commute is 20-30 km daily for office and gym, with occasional longer rides. I am considering either electric or petrol scooters, and I’m also open to entry-level motorcycles. My budget is ₹1,00,000-₹1,50,000, extendable up to ₹2,00,000. Which options should I consider?
In the electric scooter space, you can consider the TVS iQube 2.2 / 3.1, Bajaj Chetak 3001 and Ather Rizta 2.9 variants - all three are comfortable and practical offerings with enough range for your daily needs.
In the petrol scooter space, options you can consider are the Honda Activa models, TVS Jupiter duo and Suzuki Access 125 - all are fuel-efficient, practical and comfortable options.
Entry-level motorcycles like the TVS Raider or Hero XTreme 125R can also be considered if you like their sporty designs. In case you want a straightforward commuter, something like the Honda Shine 125 will serve you well.
Since you're considering a wide variety of options, make sure you take a test ride before you decide.

Asked by: Anandon Oct 8, 2025
Which family bike should I buy in the 125cc–150cc segment that offers strong mileage and full features? I am looking for a model with a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke single-cylinder engine, dual disc brakes, ABS, and an elegant look. Could you recommend suitable options?
Since you haven’t specified your budget or exact usage, here are some credible options across both segments:
In the 125cc sporty space, strong choices include the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R, and Honda CB125 Hornet. If you prefer a more conventional look, you could also consider bikes like the Hero Super Splendor, Glamour, Honda Shine 125, or SP 125. Most of these models offer ABS on at least one variant, as you requested.
In the 150–160cc category, sporty commuters like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160 are good picks. For larger riders, the Pulsar N160 offers a more spacious ride. And even though it is more than two decades old at this point, the trusty Honda Unicorn is worth considering if you want a no-nonsense but solid and comfortable commuting partner.
For liquid-cooled options in the 150–160cc space, only the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 V2 fit the bill. Both are great for commuting, though their design may not be classically elegant.
