i'm a collage stud and planning to buy a bike for daily use..
My needs are
1)Good performance and amazing looks
2)Good ride quality and comfort
3)Low Maintenance and spare part costs.
4) Good Mileage (i go for long rides)

I had Honda Cbr150r in mind as it has amazing looks (Didn't want yamaha r15 as i see many on-roads) .
but then the price let me down, the question is ,Is it worth the money?
Then i thought of KTM Duke 200 which had amazing specs. But then the new pulsar 200 Naked-Street was pretty similar with a quite low price tag..so i thought of the pulsar.
But then pulsars weren't durable and reliable in the past,is this the same or is it better?
so should i spend 30k more and go for HONDA or the value for money pulsar..

P.S:I didn't want bikes like karizma ZMR and apache as i didn't like their looks..its my personal opinion.
 
You will pay, one bike or the other.
Pay now for better, pay as you go or really pay if you don't pay as you go.

Maintenance is the key, a cheaper made bike requires more of it.
 
Looking at your requirements I have listed the bikes in the order they meet the needs:

1)Good performance and amazing looks :
If you prefer naked street bikes: KTM Duke 200, Pulsar 200NS, Honda CBR150R
If you prefer faired bikes: Honda CBR150R, Pulsar 200NS, KTM Duke 200

2)Good ride quality and comfort: Pulsar 200NS, Honda CBR150R, KTM Duke 200

3)Low Maintenance and spare part costs: Pulsar 200NS, Honda CBR150R, KTM Duke 200

4) Good Mileage: Pulsar 200NS, Honda CBR150R, KTM Duke 200

So, overall Pulsar 200NS would be suitable for you. You can save up the rest to get a good riding gear. Do not ignore the riding gear. At least get a Riding Jacket, gloves and a Helmet.
