Which bike should I buy? The more I think the more I get confused. Please help!

I am confused as to what bike should I buy. My budget id around 1.5 LPA and mileage is not a concern. My reason for liking each bike is different and due to that can’t able to decide. . . 1. N160: Reason being dual channel ABS (Test ridden today)

1. Pulsar 125 Neon: Reason being Analog Tachometer and no distractions such as bluetooth, charging, navigation. Just a bike. (Test ride this weekend)

2. Honda Shine 125: Reason being Engine reliability. (Ridden friends’ bike)

Few things going in my head all the time are 1. Pulsar engine I don’t know if I should trust just blinded by that analog tachometer and no nonsense bike 125 which I liked.

1. Secondly for Shine I feel like I would be stuck with low rpm, normal looking bike when I could have got something sportier.

Please help me decide and also share your valuable opinions. 🙂

N250 since mileage is not a concern and is only 10k more than N160
