through engaging traffic(Bengaluru bro

Budget of up to 2 lakhs and I will retain this bike for 5-6 years..
Here are the options I have short-listed. Any advice, review and suggestions will be much appreciated

Not listing the full-faired sports bikes, Dominar and the Apache RTR 200 V4 as I feel they don't connect with me...
Bike | Pros | Cons |
Pulsar NS200 | perimeter frame, oil cooled,single channel ABS, power at the top, under belly exhaust | low torque at the bottom , no major changes in 5 years, pathetic service from Bajaj |
Duke 200 | awesome torque through out, lightweight, loaded console, eye catcher even after 5 years of similar design, unmatched acceleration from 0-60 kmpH | no ABS, seating comfort, leakage at engine head and upside down forks, maintenance costs?, heating issues? |
FZ25 | best torque among the listed options, refined engine, good seats, yamaha's reliability, 250 cc at great price | looks like a beefed up FZ, 250cc air cooled, no ABS, weak LED headlamp |
RE Classic 350 | seating comfort, heritage, an experience, best selling RE, METAL | maneuverability in heavy traffic, no ABS(not even twin discs), vibrations, lots of attention and maintenance required, lack of new tech |
