Hi, I am planning to transition from a Honda Dio to a geared motorcycle. Although my dream bike is a Royal Enfield but I am a bit confused after looking at the Triumph Speed T4. My budget is around Rs. 2.5 lakh, although I can extend it to Rs. 2.75 lakh if required. I mostly ride within the city and currently have no plans for highway riding. I will also be riding with my mother and father occasionally. I am 5'5" tall, weigh 80 kg, and live in Chennai. I am trying to choose between the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, and Triumph Speed T4. I am also considering the Triumph Speed 400 if you feel extending my budget would be worthwhile.

Since this is going to be your first bike, should you want to play it safe, going with the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be our recommendation. It has a low seat, unintimidating power delivery, plush suspension and is easy to manage in the city. You also have an affinity to the brand so going with the characterful Hunter should be quite satisfying in the long run. However, on the flip side, since you have said you can extend your budget to Rs 2.75 lakh, you should definitely consider the 350cc Triumph Speed 400. The Speed is definitely a more capable and exciting machine than the Hunter and over time, will give you more headroom to grow as a rider. Do bear in mind that the Speed doesn't have as much character as the Hunter and feels more like an appliance in the long run - although depending on what your approach towards your motorcycle is, that may or may not be a bad thing. The best way to decide between these two would be to take a test ride before you make your decision. If you want to split the difference between the Hunter and Speed 400, the Speed T4 is an excellent option with middle-of-the-road performance between these two bikes.
