Hi Folks,

Planning on buying a new bike after a long time.
Note : Haven't used a bike since ages, though I have had a Pulsar 150 classic and a Hero Splendor which I used extensively way back at home when I was in high school.
However, that was 6-7 years ago, since then my motor-biking skills have become pretty rusty!
While I have been longing to buy a bike capable enough for weekend tours, taking me away from the redundant office life and also polish my rusty photography skills - I honestly couldn't do it mostly due to the budget flowing towards my computer gaming rigs and home labs/servers.

Now I have decided to give it a shot and hence here I am at xBhp, willing to participate in the motorbiking experience.
However, to switch on the ignition and set things in motion I need a bike and thus below are my requirements/preferences/budget.

Budget : ~1,00,000 INR.
Location : New Delhi.
Personality : Slim build/65kgs with 5.8(+-1)" height.
Riding preference : Biased towards comfort, power and engine reliability.
Time : Intend to buy as soon as possible, probably within couple of weeks. [ Just need to sort of some documentation stuff ]

I did some R&D in the motorbike segment ~100k inr, and I shortlisted the below in order of preference :
1. Bajaj Avenger 220 Street/Cruise
2. Pulsar AS 200
3. Suzuki Gixxer
4. Yamaha Fazer

While I am pretty focused on Avenger 220 but before I finalise it, I have some queries :

Comfort
1. Is this the most comfortable bike within 1.5 Lakh when it comes to long rides on highways and semi-Himalayas/Hills ? I have chronic stiffness in upper back and neck due to postural issues ( forward bent posture ) and thus looking for something which doesn't cause posture problems.

Maintenance
2. I had a Pulsar 150 Classic way back in High School and tbh, I ended up spending most of my pocket money in it's maintenance. The gearbox was quite effed up and the engine also felt very unrefined. Though the bike had enough power to satisfy but it was a PITA to maintain.
My parents aren't happy with my decision to buy a Bajaj's bike due to this.

Alternatives
3. How is this compared to a used Royal Enfield ? Let's say I get a good condition Enfield ~1lakh.

Height/Riding stance
4. The bike has low slung seating position, so I am wondering if at 5.8-5.9" of body height would it still be comfortable enough ?

Pricing
5. Does the pricing differs across various dealers and showrooms, like electronic/computer goods ?

Handling
6. How is the bike's handling in city ? Delhi's streets are pretty damn crowded and my skills are a bit rusty, so will this bike cause issues in traffic ?

Acceleration/Top Speed
7. Ahh....well, while I honestly don't intend to ride at anything above 100 km/hr on a bike and neither accelerate too hard, yet I would love to know how well does this bike fares in terms of top speed/acceleration. Can this do 0-60 in less than 5 sec ?

Questions regarding Documentation :

Driving License :
I must confess that I used to ride my previous bike in high school, and didn't had a Driving license back then. After I moved out of home-town, I didn't feel the need to drive a bike until now and thus I have to get a Driving License too asap.
However, I don't reside at my permanent address (Gujarat) anymore. In Delhi, I am residing at a rented establishment and only have a Vodafone bill on my current address. besides the fact that I am employed in Delhi from past few years.
Is there any way I could get my driving license made from Delhi ? I am ready to take the "pay the extra" route but I need it soon.

I only have Election Card/Pan Card/CBI Passbook based on my Gujarat's address.

Bike Registration :
Since I don't have a permanent residence proof of Delhi, so I suppose I will also encounter some issues in getting the bike registered in Delhi. What options do I have for this ?

Besides the bike, I am really looking forward to some help on documentation. I have the cash lying with me, ready to be spent but having hard time with documentation.

Looking forward to your opinion/help.
