Since you have owned a Honda motorcycle in the past, sticking with the brand and getting the Hornet 2.0 and NX200 will make sense. Both are decently peppy, refined, comfortable and fuel-efficient machines which should be reliable in the long run. The Yamaha MT-15 will be the lightest machine on your list, and it is likely to also be the most fuel-efficient. Despite its small engine, it does offer a good level of performance. You should also take a look at the XSR155 because this is a more spacious motorcycle while being mechanically very similiar to the MT.The TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will have the most comfort and will be different to ride than the other bikes owing to their relaxed engines. Do bear in mind that you are unlikely to see a fuel economy figure of 40kpl unless you ride very sedately on either of them. Since the machines you have shortlisted are very diverse, we'd recommend a test ride of all before you make a decision.

Both the Honda Hornet 2.0 and Bajaj Pulsar N160 have similar performance and fuel economy in the real world, so picking between the two will boil down to which bike's design, comfort, features and overall ownership experience you prefer. The N160 is also considerably more affordable than the Hornet, and, at the Hornet's price, you could even consider the larger Pulsar N250.However, Honda bikes are generally known for their hassle-free ownership experience with bulletproof long-term reliability and low maintenance costs. Bajaj's ownership costs, too, are quite frugal, but service can be a point of friction.Take test rides of both bikes and also speak to your nearest authorised dealer and service center for both brands before you make your decision.
