Asked by: Shekhar Kumar Can you guide me between the Suzuki Burgman Street EX top model and the TVS Ntorq top model in terms of long-term reliability, comfort, ease of riding, maintenance costs, and performance? I am 47 years old, weigh around 85 kg, and am 5 feet 9 inches tall. Both the Suzuki Burgman Street EX and the TVS Ntorq have their unique strong points. The Suzuki scooter has cemented a great reputation for itself because of its reliability, fuel efficiency, and comfort, typical strong points of a family scooter.On the other hand, the sporty Ntorq will have the upper hand in terms of performance. However, spirited riding can have an impact on its fuel efficiency. TVS has a hit/miss reputation when it comes to after-sales and reliability, so if that is of utmost importance to you, we would recommend going with the Burgman. Asked by: Athul M I own a Discover 150 with 1.4 lakh km on the odometer. I am 35 years old and work as a field service engineer, with a daily commute of 80 to 150 km in and around Chennai. I am considering an upgrade as the bike feels weak on highways. I prefer neo-retro designs and like the Hunter more than the Ronin due to the Ronin’s rear design. However, I am concerned about the running costs and reliability of a 350cc bike, as my work depends entirely on having a motorcycle. Keeping your requirements in mind, you can consider the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and TVS Ronin. Both are smooth, comfortable, relaxed, and decently fuel-efficient machines that will serve you well over your long commutes, and both aren't that expensive to maintain, by and large.You can also look at the Honda CB350 trio for similar reasons as the ones listed above. These bikes will feel a size bigger than the Hunter and Ronin, but won't feel cumbersome to manage in city traffic. Asked by: Subhransu Barick I am confused between the Classic 350 Halcyon Black, Bullet 350 Standard Black, and Bullet 350 Black Gold, especially between the two Bullet variants. Please also suggest possible modifications and the maximum tyre size (wider than stock) I can upgrade to after purchase. First things first, the Royal Enfield Bullet and Classic 350 are essentially the same bike in different colours with minor cosmetic differences, so whichever variant you choose of either bike, your riding experience is going to largely be the same.The Classic 350 Halcyon sits just above the base variant and comes with a rear drum brake, single-channel ABS, simpler components such as mirrors and rear brake pedal, and a halogen headlamp with pilot lights.The Bullet 350 standard black and black gold are the higher variants, which means they will have dual-channel ABS, a rear disc brake, chrome mirrors, and better finishing for the rear brake pedal, among other small cosmetic differences. These two variants are mechanically identical, with the primary difference being the paint scheme and the Black Gold’s black powder-coated finish compared to the Standard’s chrome finishing.It is strongly recommended that you don't change tyre sizes to anything other than what the manufacturer recommends, as that will affect the bike's mileage, chassis balance, handling, and stability, among other things. Asked by: Ganesh My daily riding is around 30 km, and I want to replace my current scooter. I am considering the Xoom 125 and the Activa. Which one is better? In the scooter segment, our top picks in the family-centric category are the TVS Jupiter 110 & 125, Suzuki Access, and the Honda Activa 110 & 125 models. If you want something flashier, then the TVS Ntorq 125/ 150 would be our recommendations, as they are peppy, sporty, feature-rich, and sharp-looking scooters that don't compromise on comfort or practicality.The Hero MotoCorp Xoom 125 - while a great first attempt with its stylish design and 14-inch wheels - does feel a little cramped, and its engine lacks a little pep in comparison to the Ntorq.A test ride will help you decide which scooter is the best fit for you. Asked by: Ajiteshu Kumar I want to exchange my 2018 HF Deluxe. I have shortlisted the Splendor Xtec Disc and the Glamour X. My running is approximately 1,000 km per month in the city. Please suggest which one I should buy. Thanks. Since you haven't mentioned whether or not you want to step up from your current machine's performance ceiling and price bracket, it will be difficult to give you a clear-cut answer. The Hero MotoCorp Splendor Xtec (disc brake variant) will have many similarities to your HF Deluxe in terms of its performance, comfort, mileage, and overall riding experience. It is also going to be the more affordable option, but with a 100cc engine, its performance will be a clear step down from the Glamour.On the other hand, the Hero MotoCorp Glamour X will be a far more feature-rich offering with better performance and will also feel like a more substantial bike. Of course, there will be some sacrifice in fuel economy, but that's the tradeoff with moving to a bigger machine.If you value mileage above all else, then the Splendor is the better option, but if you want a bike that feels like a step up from your HF Deluxe, the Glamour X is the way to go.You should also take a serious look at the Honda Shine 100 and Shine 125 models if you're shopping in this space. Take test rides of everything you shortlist before you decide. Asked by: Yusuf shariff I am currently using a Rolls-Royce Ghost EWB that I purchased in 2024 as the first owner. Now in 2026, I am planning to buy a convertible sports car with a 12-cylinder engine. Which car would be best for me? There are few 12-cylinder cars left on sale, as many have been replaced by V8 hybrid alternatives. However, there are a few that are worth considering.Both Aston Martin and Lamborghini could launch convertible versions of their V12 supercars - the Vanquish and Revuelto, respectively - in 2026. You can inquire or even put in an inquiry with their dealerships, but even if so, your delivery will unlikely happen before 2027. However, the better option is the Ferrari 12Cilindri, which is already on sale in India. Unlike the aforementioned two models, the 12Cilindri is pure naturally aspirated V12, without a turbocharger or hybrid assistance, and will likely be a future collector's item. The engine sounds exceptional, and performance is strong and fluid. The car itself is exceptionally engineered, with the latest F1-derived electronic assistance. Can’t decide which car to buy?
