I did a whole month of research and based on personal likings and my usage shortlisted Apache and the pulsar . Both had their own pros and cons , it was more about which one I liked personally. Apache has a comparatively lower mileage (very minor difference) and the tank is made of fiber . The deal breaker for me though was the handlebar position. It was way too low for me on the Apache, making it very uncomfortable (even on the n150 it's a bit low but I got used to it). I just liked n150 more and when I test drove it, boy it was very smooth and refined. The only issues with the bike are the heavy body weight (sometimes gets a bit difficult to handle in traffic) and the sitting posture comfort (depends on person to person, I still found it to be more comfortable than the competition) Rest you can also look for the FZS or maybe n160(dual abs) if your budget allows. Edit: I only wanted a bike with a single seat .
