I'm planning to buy a bike with a budget of around Rs. 3 lakh. My primary use will be daily city commuting to the office, but I also want to do occasional long-distance touring. I haven't done any long bike trips before, but it's something I want to start. So far, I've taken test rides of the Triumph Speed 400, Triumph Scrambler 400X, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda CB350RS, TVS RTX 300, and KTM 390 Adventure. I'm confused about which one to choose. My priorities in a bike include comfort during daily city commuting, ability to handle bumpy roads well. The bike should be capable of light off-roading and it should also be comfortable for long rides. One thing that I have noticed with some bikes is that after riding for a while, my palms started hurting. I'm not sure if it's because of my riding posture or the ergonomics, but I'd prefer a bike that doesn't cause that kind of discomfort. I'm 5'8" (173 cm) tall. Based on my requirements and the bikes I've already test-ridden, which one would you recommend? Are there any other bikes in this budget that I should also consider?
