I am confused between the Triumph Speed 400, Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350, and Honda CB350RS. Which one would you recommend for comfortable city rides along with occasional long rides?

Since your usage is mostly going to be inside the city, we'd advise choosing between the Honda CB350RS and 350cc Triumph Speed 400. Both bikes have smooth, torque-focused engines, light clutch action, manageable seat heights and good weight management, which should make them easy to use in the city. Out on the highway, both feel quite unstressed as long as you keep the speeds between 100-110kph at the most in top gear. The Speed 400 will feel more sprightly than the CB350RS owing to its higher output and lower weight but the Honda's engine has a little more character than the Triumph's.The Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 is a gorgeous and eye-catching bobber but comfort and highway capabilities aren't exactly its strong suits. If you do want an option from the 350cc Royal Enfield lineup, we'd recommend taking a look at the Bullet / Classic because these bikes are excellent at city duties and if you don't mind carrying a sedate pace on the highway, they'll do the job just fine. These options are very different from one another, so we'd advise you to take proper test rides of each to see which one suits you best before you pull the trigger on your next purchase.

I currently own a 9-year-old Pulsar 150. My usage includes a weekly office commute of 40km, daily short rides, and occasional long trips of around 300km. I am confused between the Honda CB350, CB350 H’ness, and Royal Enfield Classic 350. I want easy city usability and good shoulder comfort. I am 6 feet 1 inch tall. Which option would suit me best?

Between the Honda CB350s and the Royal Enfield Classic 350, the Honda is our pick for being easier to use in the city, primarily because of one reason. It has a slip/assist clutch, which greatly reduces clutch effort in stop-and-go traffic. Otherwise, both the Classic and the H'ness are very evenly matched.It would be advisable to take a test ride of both before you make a decision.
