Default R15 / Fz-16 / Avenger ?

I'm too naive. I don't know much about bikes and all.
I loved these 3 bikes for obvious reasons (looks)..
Hated the fz-s graphics (whatever you call it) though.
I'm only 5'6 and I don't weigh much ..Very skinny !

Kindly, Suggest the best one out of those.
Mileage : Anything above 35kmpl is good for me.
Have to ride.. approx 12 kms (heavy traffic).
Price- 1.2 lakh tops!

Atleast 3 years I'm gonna use...For sure!!
Which one is more comfortable ?
Which one would suit me best ?

P.S: And regarding R15 2.0 ..will it be really difficult for the pillion rider?
Can we like attach or go for some handle/support for the same..Is it possible ? And if possible.. will it ruin the razor sharp look of it ?

P.P.S: R15 1.0, Is she still available ?

For comfort and mileage above 35 go for FZ from the 3.

Hmmm.. I must say its stupid idea to invent handle for pillion rider while infact the R15 is aerodynamically designed for speeds and there isnt anything to connect your handle to that would stick or how about the tiny seating! If you ride mostly with someone in back go for HH Karizma.

No idea. try getting in touch with someone from yamaha showroom, if they have stock left you may be lucky. But given the choice I would go for the v2 which has addressed all the issues of the v1. Infact v2 comes with better power, more mileage, good look, radial tyre, better handling and braking etc.
Only disadvantage is pillion cant sit on it at all!!

I donot mean to be rude, BUT asking a opinion about those bikes are like asking what kind of person you want to be.. that too from others this is a question which u only are in a position to answer.

No offence .

None taken.
Many people are here for opinions and in the same way many are here just to opine. And what's with that "what kinda person you want to be" I still didnt get it. :|
Heart wants r15 v2.0 but I'll have to carry a pillion.
And about whether it suits me or not..I justed wanted a third person's POV. ( Bike lovers and pro's opinions always do count* )

P.S: At least for me.

Bro that exactly was my point, if you want a R15 and you buy something else the whole time you will be thinking that what if ...... and how life would be diffrent.. so go with your heat and bring her home ..
Secondly the person meant what u like the most, u cant like two things at the same time at the same rate (my POV)
Edit: On second thoughts get a Duke
