A bike for both me and my dad??? Need help.
Hello fellow riders. Feeling delighted penning down my first post here at xbhp.
Recommending a bike for a person is let alone difficult.But here I am asking all of you guys to recommend a bike which could suit both me and my dads need.
.First let me explain how this decision of buying a new bike came up.My dad is using the mighty "cosmo blaster" since last 6 years.
Till now the bike runs good all though it has problems.(like no spares are available,Dangling side body panels,etc). Generally speaking i hate that bike a lot .I hate that name. I hate how it looks . I hate it 
.I have been bugging my dad to buy a new bike since last 3 years.But my dad kept saying that this bike full fills my need so no need to change it.When I return home on my holidays (By the way i am pursuing my mechanical engineering at Bhubaneswar) I get totally bored riding pillion on my friends bikes (All are Apache Rtr 160 ). But now I have my industrial training at y home town it self for one month.So i would be traveling for around 20 km daily to the nearby industry.So dad agreed to buy a new bike which both of us can use.As after my training this bike will be mostly used by my dad hence narrowing down on a bike is becoming a head ache.I thought pulsar 135 ls would be good for both of us but today i went to the show room to inquire about the bike.But I got shocked to hear that it has been discontinued
.The sales guy said it has been discontinued since 8 months( I was like What the F**K .The company website still shows the bike and I didn't came across this news here at xbhp also). Now here I am in dilemma choosing a bike youthful enough for me but sober enough for my dad.
1. Budget - 60,000
2. Age -54/21 ( Dad / Me )
3. Height -5'3"/5'4"
4. Weight - 60/65
5. Intended usage - City commuting, College use.
6. Fuel Efficiency requirement - 55 kmpl
7. City & Highway percentage usage - city - 80%/ highway 20 %
8. Approximate Daily running - 10 to 20 km
9. Town - Bargarh , Odisha
10. Special Preference - Youthful enough for me but sober enough for my dad to ride it.
Did i left any other requirements feel free to ask me.

Suzuki GS150 is also an excellent 150cc machine but avoid it here, as Suzuki's service in Odisha is pretty pathetic.
Also the bikes you have mentioned are a bit on the heavier side so don't you think they may serve some problem for my dad.
