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 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.

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
