Hi Sarath, as kurtrules rightly pointed out, the Unicorn and the Xtreme have the same engine but the bikes are some-what different. The Unicorn has the mono-suspension but the Xtreme's engine makes a little bit more power(different state of tune I think). There is very little to choose between these two bikes but I personally would choose the Unicorn simply for its mono-suspension.
I don't think the Apache will manage above 45 kmpl. Besides, the bike's suspension is a little bit towards the harder side.

The CB-Twister is a 110 cc bike that has been just launched by Honda. My friend has just booked a Twister and on-road, the price turns out to be 56k (disk brake version). It wont be as power-full as either the Xtreme or the Unicorn but will definitely be more fuel efficient. However the 150cc bikes will be more fun.

Meanwhile the Pulsar 135LS has a different 4 valve engine. The 4 valves help the engine to 'breathe' better and the bike has a fine power to weight ratio. I don't have the information regarding the Pulsar's on road price. Look at the Bajaj website to know more on this.

Glad to help.
Cheers!
