I think you are relying too much on others opinion....or thinking too much. Relax its just a motorcycle.

Select a few and test ride them and buy.

I perfectly agree with Anand.Please take a test drive before you select the bike.I did not test any bike and purchased an RTR 180. The second month on the bike I realised on the highway that R15 is wayyy faster and handles much better ( I could not catch him!) The next month after riding a friend's bullet I was like Damn I should have listened to dad and got the RE C500 but anyways then dad would have run away with it. Now after several mods my bike is close to an r15 in performance but since you want a bike for mostly commute,please try to ride every option available before shortlisting.

I would recommend Suzuki Slingshot plus for daily commuting as it gives me good mileage,vibes free ride till 90s.
However its a bit slow in pick-up but high torque will keep you rolling in top-gear at 30s,power starts from 45 and pulls decently all the way to 80.
i never had a chance to check its top speed but i'm sure it will touch 100.
However getting service is going to be a headache if you don't have a showroom near ur place
