          My money is on SS125 and Discover 125ST.
          A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

                        CB Twister or Honda shine should suit you. Good luck.

                          Thank you guys for ur suggestions..
                          But here now I few options in my mind along with a extended budget upto 85k. My shorlist is as follows..
                          1. Honda CB Trigger.
                          2. Honda Cb unicorn
                          3. Pulsar 150
                          4. Yamaha fzs/16
                          5. Apache rtr 160.
                          6+. Your suggestions....

                          I'll prefer honda machine for engine and better FE.
                          I only hav few ideas about honda triggy and uni. Dont know much about other options so i'll be thankfull of you all if you post ur suggestions in lil brief..

                            If you like the styling of Trigger go for it. Honda spares are easily available and Service centers are somewhat good too.
                            Trigger has advantage over Unicorn in the following points
                            - better mileage and power
                            - less weight
                            - good looking digital console
                            - rear disk option

                            FZ is good too with equal/better handling capability as of Trigger and is more flickable in traffic.
                            But it loose hands down to Trigger in engine smoothness, power(0-60 acceleration may be better though), and ofcourse mileage.

                            If you like XTreme / Hunk from Hero stable, do check out that too.
                            It has same engine from Unicorn/Trigger slightly detuned for better power.
                            Ride comfort is good too. Hero has the largest dealer/service center network in the country.
