    he was telling me that this bike looks sporty but best for city commute & has a good riding posture too.
    need expert opinions about that.
    thanks
    Fz has leaned forward riding stance. If you can compromise on mileage go for xtreme 200r or apache 160 4v. Otherwise sz rr and pulsar 150 both are good.

              You mean commuter like relaxed pose? Then Unicorn & Xtreme 200R.

                I own 1 and no. It's riding posture is straight. 50+ kmpl FE is decent enough for city traffic.

                  I've ridden both , hence i am saying. Ride fz and gixxer back to back, you'll know, fz has slightly rearset pegs with lower set wide bars as a result of which there's a leaning stance, apache is also sporty, but gixxer, hornet, xblade, xtreme 200r are definitely more comfortable than fz . My friend has developed back pain while riding with me in a long trip, doctor advised him to take medical help.

                    I ride my bike daily. Moved to it from Apache cz I was facing same issue as ur friend on Apache of back ache. Now fz has no such issues.

                            It has a slight forward leaned riding position. It is not immediately apparent but will be easily felt if ridden back to back with a bike with upright riding posture. The OP had asked for a bike with upright riding posture.

                            OP can take a test ride. It is a very good bike.

                              Today test drove 4 bikes back to back
                              1-apache 160 4v
                              2-xtreme 200r
                              3-apache 200 4v
                              4-hornet ABS

                              RESULTS
                              Xtreme 200r has narrowest rider seat of them all hence not felt comfortable. I rod it on bad roads with pillion, suspension felt perfect. But bike not felt powerful than a 150/160 cc bike.
                              APache 200 4v ABS
                              good bike but lacks at lower end can't pull in second gear with pillion. Sporty riding stance & split seat hence rejected.
                              APACHE 160 4 V
                              Good pickup good at lower end too.It looks sporty but riding posture is comfortable for me, suspension also good for bad roads, actually I took second test drive of this bike to make sure that how it's comfortable & vibe free commuter but looks sporty, impressed with the bike.
                              HORNET ABS
                              this bike gone neck to neck with 160 4v. It's performance & comfort almost equal to 4v.

                              Now only FZS FI remaining for a test ride

                                Between 160 4v & hornet which one would better in terms of low maintenance cost & durability, for atleast 5 to 6 years.
