I plan to buy a new bike and my budget is Rs 75,000. My requirements are a minimum 60km mileage, good looks and value for money. I have shortlisted the Bajaj Discover 125, the Hero Glamour 125, the Suzuki Gixxer and the Honda CB Shine SP. Which one should I buy from this list?

AAA Of the bikes you have listed, the Suzuki Gixxer is the best. However, it exceeds your budget considerably. The 125cc bikes you have shortlisted will fall within your Rs 75,000 budget, and, of these, we recommend you go for the Honda Shine SP. It is the newest of this lot, has really good handling dynamics, will fulfil your mileage needs and is a decent looker as well.
