    Take CBZ extreme or Dazzler - Good looks, Pillion comfort, Nice performance. Rear Disc is a bonus.

    I have not seen many ppl listing CBZ on the forums here.. but that was the bike which changed Indian City-biking scenario.

    So you are left with:

    Yamaha FZ (FZ16, FZS)
    Apache 160
    Pulsar 150

    Again, looking for best VFM, the Yammies should fit your bill.

    You bought a bike yet? You dont like most bikes listed by others and I have one to offer. What about Unicorn? It's a reliable and very affordable machine with 160CC.

    About Apache RTR 180 ABS: RTR tends to produce vibrations only at small intervals in RPMs. The most vibration prone areas are between 4.5-5 K RPM and around 6-7 K RPM range. You wont feel vibrations above 90 KMPH AT ALL. You may ride the machine swiftly in city traffic so that you can get at least ~40 KMPL FE. You rip it and you forgo the mileage part. RTR is a rev hungry machine and most people who ride one are rev hungry. ABS works very well. I've not heard anyone complaining about the ABS in RTR.

    Also if you are just 6ft tall, the riding posture on RTR 180 shouldn't be a problem as I myself am 6 ft. Not sure about it if you are taller.

    Unicorn on the other hand is good to handle and a gentle machine and it's also powerful. I've seen people ripping Unicorn very stylishly. Heck, I used to rip Unicorn which belongs to my friend.

    CBZ Xtreme as they call it now is also a very good bike. FE is also good. I think it's the same as Hunk.

    Apache, P150 and P180 of the old generation used to produce vibes past ~90 and ~100 KMPH respectively. I don't know about the pulsars, but RTRs are bettered in each iteration. The vibrations in current iteration are very less and I feel it's non-noticeable.
