Hi XbHp,

I currently drive Honda Activa from 2011. My Office is less than 10 Km from home and activa used to suffice the transportation needs.
However , Activa has been uncomfortable over long rides(> 30 km) in the city limits leading to back pain.

I will be moving out to Electronics City. With no Metro Connectivity between EC and Marathalli, the only flexible option would be a good bike.
The daily ride will now be close to 60 Kms (to and fro) in the Bangalore City Traffic.I'm looking to buy a new commute that is comfortable for Heavy city(Traffic) usage.

My Budget is 1 to 1.2 Lakhs.

Requirements are listed as per priority:
1. Bike should be really comfortable to ride over Good Roads/No Roads/Potholes.
2. Good Pickup and Handling.
3. Should be reliable.
4. Mileage anything close to 40 km/liter will be appreciated.
5. Can Ignore Pillion comfort. Pillion will be used only on weekends for short distances.
6. Can Ignore long distance trips.


From the posts in internet, i narrowed down to few common suggested 150 CC bikes.
1. Bajaj Avenger street 150.
2. Yamaha FZ V 2.0
3. Honda Unicorn 160
4. Suzuki Gixxar.

Please free to suggest any bikes that meets the requirements and not listed above.
