This is my first post. So bear with me and my excitement

I'm on the lookout for a bike. My current ride, a 5 year old Apache RTR 160 is starting to feel long in the tooth now.
My budget is 1 lakh, slightly more stretchable. I mostly commute to office, and occasionally go for short 100 to 150 kms rides on weekends. Plan to tour more.
My requirements are-comfort, mileage, long term reliability. Based on this, I have narrowed it down to the Pulsar AS200. Should I go for it, or wait for the new Avenger with the NS engine?
I need to take my relatives for the occasional shopping trip, so I need a bike with a low seat height. Hence looked into the upcoming Avenger. The traffic woes in Bangalore means I'm a bit apprehensive of buying such a long bike. Have seen my colleagues suffering to take out their Avengers from the parking lot. I'm hesitant to go for the Thunderbird, as I'm a 62kg, 5 10' guy. I cannot handle that weight, and it's out f my budget nonetheless

So please advice. Do I wait for the Avenger, or go for the AS? Are there any flat seat bikes I can buy second hand and modify?
