My requirement is daily 25km
Occasional weekend trips not more than 100km
Daily route is full of pot holes and bad roads
So i need something which can glide over it but also has character and good low end torque and nimble enough for city traffic and liveable for day to day roam arounds

Please share your experiences and thoughts

Edit: thank you for all the responses, i am yet to test ride the scrambler, i tried Himalayan and i am in love with the suspension but didn’t like the engine character comparing to bear 650, i am just sceptical if i get scrambler and joined offroading bike groups at that time I shouldn’t run out of the offroading capability otherwise i would have gone with scrambler without any doubt

I want an all in one bike
For daily city commute around 30km with bad roads
And weekend rides to highways and mountains

Priorities are in order

Comfort
Performance
Reliability
Maintenance (can bear up to 6-8k annually)
Mileage (okay with above 20kmpl)

I gave my skoda Octavia mk3 1.8 TSI for oil and filter replacement today The mechanic used 5w30 semi synthetic Shall i get it replaced with fully synthetic or continue driving and replace after 6 months

Please advise i need to travel 1000km with family in coming days what precautions should I take?
