My usage will include a 40 km daily commute, weekend rides, and occasional long trips. I don’t prefer the RE 650cc engine as it feels too bulky, protrudes outward, and isn’t very ergonomic (during my test ride, I felt like I was sitting in an unnatural position, almost hugging the tank with my legs). In the past, I have owned a Passion Plus, Thunderbird 350, and Xpulse 200. I now want to move to the 500cc and above segment. Kindly help me make the right decision.

I aspire to start touring as well. I am 6'2" tall and weigh 120 kg. I have tested the KTM Adventure series, but the vibrations were not appealing. The Himalayan feels smooth and comfortable, but its weight is a concern. I might get used to it, but I’m unsure about getting used to it in daily traffic for 60 km. I couldn’t get a test ride of the Apache RTX. I tested the Xpulse 210, but it runs hot in the city. I also tested the Triumph Scrambler, but it feels small for my stature and my wrists hurt due to the riding posture.

I drive around 62 km daily in Mumbai (Navi Mumbai to Andheri) in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I like everything about the Elevate except its 40-litre fuel tank, due to which I need to refuel every 4-5 days, which is becoming frustrating. I am even considering changing my car by the end of the year to the Renault Duster (which is expected to have a larger 50-litre tank). I also need sufficient boot space. I understand the Duster may not offer a spare wheel (stepney), though space might be available to carry one. While the Duster Hybrid is tempting, the lack of boot space and a proper spare tyre could be deal-breakers, especially since I take occasional long drives to the South where a spare tyre feels essential.
