The 150/160cc commuter segment is a great one to be shopping in for city duties because it is packed with excellent products that are comfortable, decently powerful and quite fuel efficient. Bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RR 160 4V, Honda Unicorn / SP160 and the Yamaha FZ models would be our top recommendations in this class. The 350cc segment - while much larger - is geared to provide a more laidback, leisurely riding experience, and this is why you might think that these bikes "lack pickup." You should ask yourself what sort of riding experience you resonate with first before you start shortlisting vehicles. Some bikes in between these two segments that also warrant consideration are the TVS Ronin, Bajaj Pulsar N250, Honda CB300F and the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V.A test ride of everything you're considering will help you decide.

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.

Considering your long daily commuting distance, we will keep comfort and fuel economy as the highest priorities. Since you haven't specified whether you want to stay in the same performance spectrum or not, we'll give you options from both sectors. The Hero Xpulse 210 will give you great comfort and fuel economy while giving you similiar sort of performance as your TVS Apache RTR 200 and is well within your budget. If you want something a little more retro, you could take a look at the Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic 350 models, as both have a comfortable ride and will deliver decent fuel economy if ridden sensibly. In a similar vein, the Honda CB350 trio can also be considered for the same reason. Last but not least, you could also opt for the TVS Apache RTX 300, which will give you the most performance and a very spacious and comfortable riding position. Given its displacement, you should see decent fuel efficiency if ridden sensibly, although we haven't been able to test it for ourselves just yet. We recommend a thorough test ride of all the options you shortlist before you decide to put your money down.

Since you haven't specified your budget, we'll give you some options from both the same segment as well as one above. In a similar displacement and performance range as the FZ25, the Bajaj Pulsar N250 and TVS Apache RTR 200 4V are good options, and the Pulsar in particular has a great headlight spread. You should also look at the KTM 250 Adventure because it has more performance than your FZ, good highway manners and a bright headlight too. If you are open to stepping up to a 300cc machine, the TVS Apache RTX 300 will be a great option. It has even more performance than the aforementioned KTM. Moreover, its Top and BTO variants come with a very bright LED headlight that also has good spread and throw.We recommend exhaustive test rides and seeing the headlight performance of each of the bikes you shortlist for yourself before going ahead with the purchase.
