Hi guys I am going to buy my first bike so needed some suggestions from you guys and help me decide which one to buy and what will suit me best based on my following requirements.

• budget 1 lakh rupees
• mileage 35-40
• good pickup, excellent handling, pillion comfort, good build quality and refined engine.
• the bike should last for 5-6 years
• I am 6 feet and weigh about 80 kgs

Are any new bikes being launched in the next 2 months that I should look forwars to??

You may go for suzuki gs150r.It reatils for maximum 70k.mileage more than 45kmpl, very smooth engine, good pillion seat, pickup is comparitively low but for city riding the low end torque is very utilizable for the novice riders or for lazy riders like me.6th gear is a boon for highway cruising.
the only disadvantage could be lack of sale and service in your area, otherwise it is a very good bike & is well under your budget.

Answers in bold.
As you have a budget of 1 lakh rupee am suggesting the premium products of different companies
Summing up i will suggest you to buy the r15,but wait rumors have been saying that new r15 and re-engineered pulsars are on cards.So hold on

Even the ZMR is a good option..
It has got good built quality,crisp throttle response as it is fuel injected,GRS suspension,mileage hovers around 35-40/lt and it can give even more than that and it will easily last 5-6 years

R15 and ZMR will overshoot your budget.
ZMA is the best bike that suits all your requirements

+1 Karizma is a great option.

and avenger if your dad is used to the cruiser style riding.

R15 is a no no, as it can induce back ache. P220 not great for pillion comfort.

@ Everyone thanks for the replies.

I have shortlisted 2 bikes p220 and zma-r, r15 and zmr will be above my budget range. R15 will not suit my build told my dad about my choices he said a big no to p220 he told me to go for zma-r even if it cost more than p220. Today I went to the hero moto corp showroom to my surprise there where no zma-r's only zmr's asked the the sale guys he told me that zma's will be available only after 2 months if i book it today but the zmr's are readily available and he told me zma are selling more than zmr's.

Here are some more queries

* will any bike which will be launched in the next 2 month be in my budget range. I have heard the new r15 will be price @ 1 lakh is it true ??
* are tubed tyres more prone to punctures than the tubeless tyres.
* after zma-r break-in period if i ride it at higher speed say 100 kmph during weekends will the mileage permanently settle down to 25kmpl even if i ride the bike at 50 kmph.
* should i be concerned about the absence of rear disk bake in the zma.
