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.

Pretty much every single 150-160cc commuter comes with at least single-channel ABS, so that won't be a deciding factor for you. Our top picks in this class are the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V if you want something sportier and feature-rich. If you want to stick to a simple, no-nonsense machine, then the Honda Unicorn remains a safe bet. If ridden sensibly, you should see in excess of 45kpl for all of these 150cc bikes.In the 125cc class, if having ABS is non-negotiable, then your options are restricted to the TVS Raider and Honda CB125 Hornet. Of these three, the TVS is our top recommendation. The 125s will be quite fuel-efficient, and you'll seldom see a mileage figure below 50kpl, no matter your riding style.You should first decide which segment you want to stick with and then take a test ride of the bikes accordingly before you make a decision.

Since you are a new rider and want good fuel efficiency, we'd recommend you stick to machines below 250cc. You have many good options in the 150/160cc commuter space, like the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Bajaj Pulsar N160, Yamaha FZ models and Honda Unicorn / SP160. These bikes will be light, manageable, fuel-efficient and also decently comfortable for a pillion. You can also take a look at sportier machines like the Yamaha XSR155 / MT-15 and KTM 160 Duke, although pillion comfort won't be a strong point on any of these bikes. If you want something that's a little more powerful - but still beginner-friendly - bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N250, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Honda CB300F, and Suzuki Gixxer 250 models are options to consider. Do take a test ride of these machines to see which one suits you best.
