The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is an excellent option in the 160cc commuter class and will make for a good step up from your SP125. In a similar vein, you can also look at the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, which has similar performance and will also return good fuel economy. Both the Pulsar and Apache have manageable seat heights (approx. 800mm). It should help you get comfortable with these quite easily after a brief adjustment period.

All three options you have shortlisted are great in their own ways, and we'd advise you to choose between the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and the Apache RTR 160 4V TFT from our previous experience with them. If you are taller than 5'9, then the TVS bike will feel a little cramped, so we'd recommend the Bajaj if you're above that threshold.You should also take a look at the Honda Unicorn / SP160 as these bikes also meet your requirements, although they will have slightly lower performance compared to the aforementioned TVS and Bajaj bikes.Take a test ride of all the bikes you're considering before you go ahead with your purchase.

The Yamaha XSR155 you have shortlisted will give you everything you want aside from pillion comfort, as its seat isn't very long. This could be a subjective issue based on your size as well as your pillion's, but by and large, its pillion comfort is likely to be average, nothing to write home about.It will be a similar story with the Bajaj Pulsar N160 too. The TVS Ronin will offer you everything you are looking for, so that is the bike we would steer you toward. If you are open to considering other machines, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be a good option too.

Since you have a rather long commute with comfort and fuel economy as your top priorities, we'd recommend looking at these 160cc options - Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160. The Honda bikes are textbook commuters and are simple, no-nonsense machines which should also prove to be reliable and hassle-free to own. On the other hand, the TVS and Bajaj bikes are feature-rich, sporty commuters that will give you better performance while still being reaonably frugal and comfortable. In fact, if you want a little more pep, then the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N250 both are worth considering. These bikes offer a tangible step up in performance in comparison to their smaller siblings without sacrificing too much fuel economy and since you have a long commute every day, you will value the added performance on tap. Take test rides of these bikes to see which ones float your boat before you make a decision.

We'd advise you to choose between the Honda SP160 and the Bajaj Pulsar N160. The SP160 is essentially a dressed-up and more feature-rich Unicorn, so you're getting a proven base to work with, and it should be well-suited to traffic-riddled commutes. It will be quite frugal and comfortable for two-up riding with its spacious single-piece seat.The Bajaj Pulsar N160 will be a step above the Honda in terms of performance, and it also balances fuel economy quite well. Its riding triangle is accommodating of larger riders like yourself, and its suspension is well-suited to dealing with bad roads. We'd recommend you go for one of the single-seat variants on offer because it will offer better seating comfort, especially when riding two-up. These bikes are quite similar, and to decide between them, take a test ride of both. The Yamaha FZ Hybrid offers you a nifty and quick-working start/stop system but its not worth its asking price. And on top of that, the FZ isn't as accomplished as its rivals from TVS, Bajaj and Honda so we'd recommend you decide between the SP160 and N160.
