          Also consider Bajaj V15. Within your budget too. Just wait for reviews from members once the bike delivery starts

              + 1 for Victor.
              Good all round performance.
              I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

                All the bikes in your list are good in their own way. All of them are fuel efficient, offer good pillion comfort and are pure commuters. Still, personally I think Platina will be too plain. If possible, include Yamaha Saluto in your list. It's the lightest 125cc, offers good FE(reportedly 55kmpl+), has one of the longest seats and has a brilliant motor.
                A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

                  Yes, I haven't seen one in flesh. But, will have a look at that too. Thanks Krishna.

                    I don't know, I am not considering Bajaj, Mahindra, Suzuki most of the times esp. sub 150cc bikes.

                    From Hero - Glamour, Passion Xpro, Splendor i Smart
                    From Honda - Yuga, (Shine SP - You think it's worth 5k premium over previous generation Shine?)
                    From TVS - Phoenix, (Victor - initial impression seems very impressive but do you want to consider recently launched vehicle?)
                    From Yamaha - Saluto

                    Almost all the Splendor/Passion are plain and simple and pretty much boring after seeing them for a very long time. And the same goes for the other two dream bikes from Honda. Solely for the price, I don't prefer Livo. For the same price, I would rather go for Glamour or Phoenix.

                    This is more like what I would consider if I am in your position than a suggestion from a side. What would one want if he has higher cc bike and scooter already in the house. Hmmm... more likely simple bikes like Splendor i smart? or may be Yuga? You try them and decide.
