      RTR180! You can try P220 too but not sure if it gives a consistent 40+ mileage.

        P180: More power than the 150's. Mileage around 40.

        RTR180: Same as above. If you plan to do touring with a pillion, the pillion seat won't be that comfortable.

        GS150R: Gives good mileage. Power is lesser as compared to the 180's.

        RE is good but mileage would be lesser.

          If you want balance between power and average I think Apache 180 or Pulsar 180 make more sense. P220 is also supposed to be have a good mileage but no real life owner to back that up.

            Go for FZ-16. Acceptable mileage of 40+. Excellent for city riding. Very good for occasional touring. Above all, the style quotient.

              I am looking for a bike for city riding as well as weekends touring...

              @amd : Go for GSR, go to ownership thread and know more about this machine. GSR is excellent commuter and a good tourer as well so it suits your needs. It can fetch 40+ kmpl FE easily.

                I have three words for you,Royal Enfield TBTS! Looks good(to people who like the whole cruiser look),good power in lower gears for city riding,sounds awesome and is giving my family friend a good FE of 45-50 even with constant ripping! Only problem with it as far as I know is maintenance and its 1.07 lakh price tag! It costs more than the bikes you've shortlisted,but if you've got the moolah,i'd suggest this as RE bikes are on your list!

                  Well if mileage is your first priority then GS 150R could give you 40+ easily...
                  But if you r looking for power then it has to be the pulsar & rtr. But many find rtr a bit uncomfortable for long ride.
                  I will suggest the p180 ug4 but you can also try for the new p220 dtsi. Both bikes are very nice but don't expect a mileage of 40 from the 220.

                    Hi Akshay, Welcome to xBhp!
                    Among the bikes you have mentioned, my choice would be the GS 150, to know why, please check my posts in the GS thread.
                    However, if you could elaborate a bit more on your budget price range, also on your riding style&personality, I may suggest you some other bikes.

                    P.S. My R15 gives me 43kmpl. in city.
