Hey Bike-Gurus,
Need pro advise on my next bike..
My uses -
99% City maybe 1% highway on the outskirts..
I'm 5'11" (Almost 6), ~79 KGs, From the city of Hyderabad.
I work the night shift, so I'll go to the office evening and drive home early morning.
Distance between home and office : ~21KMs

I'll be coming from a Honda Unicorn (2005) to this new beast.
The Questions :
Do I have any alternatives that might just suit me? (I know about the CBR, R15 etc.. need final opinions in case this doesn't suit my height :( )
Mom n dad want me to take a 'normal' bike (Splendor, CBZ, Unicorn type) coz if I get married, to have a comfortable pillion. (This is where exactly pillion comes into picture)
However, I'll be riding it all alone 90% of the time unless rarely a friend will tag along.. (Marriage is a distant issue)
I'll be riding her for about 7 years at least. so currently, pillion is not a priority for me (it is for my parents & they will never sit with me)
and my dad's budget is within 1 lac. I am pestering him to come to 1.5 coz I already have a 150 cc and I want an upgrade don't want a same cc bike, coz it doesn't make sense to me at least.
Finally, No Pulsars No RE.
One last query,
As I ride the bike during early morning in Hyderabad (Inner Ring Road), there's a lot of trucks, I'll be driving pretty fast and overtake them on the flyover (Begumpet, Patny etc..) so it will be pretty close quarters. The question is (my biggest phobia) in case of puncture what do I do?? This scares me coz I have seen many people getting their skull crushed under the tires of various trucks and heavy vehicles.
(I'm the only son don't want to break their hearts and they don't want to give me a car coz if I crash it, it will incur heavy expenditure)
I'm also under the plan of purchasing a helmet, jacket and gloves..
Hope this helps..
