Id suggest 5 bikes based on the average mileage being 50km/l as for looks in this competitive market they are alright i suppose
Bajaj pulsar 150, suzuki gs150r, yamaha sz-r , honda cb unicorn , hero motocorps Hunk

go for a few test rides .. whats the harm .. and make sure when you slect the bike above all else.. look for comfort .. coz i ride an avenger 20-25 km on a daily basis .. trust me it matters!!
Best of luck on your purchase ... and i hope my advice helps
Regards ^^
 
What would people say about Duke.

Nephew took me for a ride on this one and the pickup is fantastic :D

Does not wake up the neighbourhood either. Looks wise its nice, price wise no idea.
 
Lol its the difference between the "k" and the "L" that matters ... if that didnt hed Might as well go for a ride made out of silver and gold .. just a thought .. then again wouldnt be as durable Lol
 
Does it ? Only if you need one right away.

Just save up and get the better one.

Was surprised you could even get a bike like duke in India.
 
@OP Extend your budget and get Yamaha FZ or FZ-S.

Except average and high end torgue it is a very good bike. Have a look.
 
considering pulsar 135ls , took a test ride of my friend's bike and for a noobie like me , it was easy to handle ..
what are your views regarding pulsar 135ls ?? (considering it is priced at 71.5 all inclusive) ..

Yamaha FZ series is recommended. Though mileage is li'l downside compared to other 150cc bikes (not a huge difference) - but by looks and power+handling - its one of the best bike in current market. Comes for ~75K/~79K : FZ-S/Fazer.

Want to (can) extend budget till 100K - go for Pulsar 200NS.
Or want a cheaper bike, go for any Honda - there's hardly a thing that can go wrong with a Honda. :p
