The Triumph Speed T4 will make for a better all-rounder because of its larger and more flexible 398cc engine. It is perfectly usable inside the city, and on the highway, you can cruise at early triple-digit speeds without breaking a sweat. If you want similar looks but more performance and better componentry, the Triumph Speed 400 makes a good case for itself. The Yamaha XSR155 is a much smaller - and lighter - bike that will have better handling and fuel economy, but will feel a little out of its element on the highway. You should also look at the Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic / Hunter 350 models (depending on your budget and design preferences). They are smooth, charming and comfortable machines that can be used both inside the city and on the highway. For similar reasons, the Honda CB350 trio also warrant serious consideration. A test ride of all of these, as well as anything else you're considering, will help you decide which one is the best fit for you.

While the Yamaha XSR155 has a taller seat height on paper, its slim build and petite kerb weight will more than make up for it. Moreover, for someone of your height, you should easily be able to get one foot flat on the ground, which will help inspire confidence. The XSR is a sweet-handling machine due to its R15-derived chassis. Although its suspension is on the stiffer side, which could be a concern if you regularly ride long distances on poor roads.A long test ride should help you figure out if the XSR is the bike for you.

The Yamaha XSR155 you have shortlisted will give you everything you want aside from pillion comfort, as its seat isn't very long. This could be a subjective issue based on your size as well as your pillion's, but by and large, its pillion comfort is likely to be average, nothing to write home about.It will be a similar story with the Bajaj Pulsar N160 too. The TVS Ronin will offer you everything you are looking for, so that is the bike we would steer you toward. If you are open to considering other machines, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be a good option too.

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.
