with all the things u asked for the list is as follows along with pro's and con's-

1. gs 150r - a very good allrounder and a very good alternative to the unicorn. 6th gear will help u as u said u'll be doing highway run's.the digi console in spoton with variable ride control switch. the only draw back is the dealer network,which is not very large.and i don't know abt the service at the existing one's.

2.pulsar 150 - 2010 model has been tweaked up t0 15bhp with a new carb and new intake and exhaust manifolds.also will be featuring clipon's.and i guess i don't have to tell u abt the performance,very satisfying,and will definately meet all ur requirement's.but is very very common.

3.unicorn - used it for 5 years and it ticks all ur boxes exept the digi console.but i guess there will be a sports version comin soon,but this will not be stopped and will continue ( like the shine).very relayable and is butter smooth,the upright seating like the gs150 r is a boon on the highways along with the mono suspension.

4.apache - u'll definately get 50+ milage on the highways along with great performance. but not as comfy as the above.also some have some vibe isuses in the handle bars which is irritatin durin long drives.

5.Pulsar 180 - all virtues of the 150 (including look's,now that the 150 also has clipon's) but faster along with lesser milage.

6.rtr 180 - since milage is one of ur priorities,i guess the 180's do not match up to the 150's but r not that behind. look into the ownership threads since u have 80k budget.

7.hh hunk and extreme - well my friends have both of them and i can say this- there is only one "unicorn" and can never be referred to as peppier version of the unicorn. they r good in their own way on the performance front and look fresher than the uni,but the milage is a mixed bag. also they do not have didgi console's.
