I am planning to buy a new bike immediately, with a budget of up to Rs. 5 lakh. My typical usage includes weekday rides of 5-10 km and weekend rides of 125-150 km. Comfort is a key priority, as I experience occasional back stiffness and hip discomfort on long rides. I mostly ride solo but occasionally travel with my wife and 9-year-old daughter. Please suggest the most suitable bike from my shortlist: Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Triumph Scrambler 400X, Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Triumph Speed 400, Honda CB350RS, TVS Apache RTX).

Since you want comfort as a top priority in your next purchase, the two bikes that will deliver that much better than the others in your shortlist are the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the 350cc Triumph Scrambler 400 X. The Himalayan is more adept on the highway front, but the Scrambler is the better city bike, so depending on where you spend more time, pick between these two. The TVS Apache RTX 300 is a phenomenally capable bike (especially for the price), but its engine feels a little dull once you spend some time with it. If you are okay with that, then as an overall package, the TVS is quite hard to fault. If you decide you want something more road-biased, then the 350cc Triumph Speed 400 and Honda CB350RS are good options to consider. We'd skip the RE Meteor models because the Super Meteor has stiff rear suspension, and instead of the Meteor, look at the Classic / Bullet if you want more comfort with an old-school relaxed retro vibe. These are all very different machines within a broad price range, so depending on the segment you are looking at specifically, we'd advise you to take test rides of the options above and then make your decision.
