I am in the market for a bike that I'll use to commute 25 km to college everyday.

Hey BHPians, hope you're all doing great. I am in the market for a bike that I'll use to commute 25kms to college everyday. For some context, this will be my first bike and I will learn to ride on it. I'm looking for a bike that is fun, safe and easy to maintain.

Option #1: The triumph scrambler400x
Loved the fit and finish on this bike. Took a test ride and it was really fun too. I was sold on it till I looked at option #2 and now I'm confused.
Will this be a good first bike as it is a but too tall and my dad says it'll be harder for me to control. I am 5'10, 200lbs.


Option #2: TVS Apache rtr310
I looked at this bike online and I didn't think I would like it that much. Went to the showroom very disinterested but I fell in love with this bike the moment I set my eyes on it. I absolutely loved the way it looked in person. This bike is also very modern compared to the Triumph. I've read that the engine is unrefined and TVS service is terrible.

Option #3: Honda CB350RS
This is my dad's favorite cause he has had Hondas in the past. The design is good, the ride I felt wasn't as good as the Triumph but it was okay. I felt like the build quality on this is subpar compared to the scrambler.

Please help me decide which bike to get. I am open to any other suggestions as well.
