Question Bike for my father

My father wants to upgrade his bike form Suzuki Max 100 to some higher power bike.

Can you guys suggest good bikes for him from 125/150CC segment?

He is 5'5". He is particularly inclined towards the HH bikes. Can you guys suggest the best bike from HH or other company?

Ride nature: Mostly City riding with or without pillion.
Requirements: low maintenance, good average, reliable and most important sober looks.

Thanks.

Im sure your dad's requirements go beyond what you've spec'ed man.
Its best that you talk to him and finalise the budget constraints as well. Depending on the money he's willing to spend, ask him to take a test ride of all the bikes that fall within budget and then take a decision...

Talked to him .. anything upto or around 60k is fine.
Will ask him to test ride few of them, I was just looking for that filtered list to be tested.

I sort of got a hint for that list:

125 CC
Platina 125
Shine
XCD
Super Splendour
Passion Plus

150 CC
Unicorn

Bajaj XCD seems to be really small .. smaller than current Max100 too ..
