I'm concerned more about weight than price. I am sure whether it will be good to handle in traffic considering 180kg weight
Buying a New Premium Commuter Bike

I'm not sure but i think handling will be good.
reason- I'm using GS150R for past 3.5 years(crossed 58K KM), which has 149 kg weigt(more weight than all other bikes in 150 CC segment) 6 gears and only 13.8 Bhp.Im not feeling much issues in traffic other than little less pick up (0-60kmhr speed) compared to CBZ/Apache. In handling and balance, it is way better than other bikes. No other bike in the segment can match stablity and ride comfort of this bike.

I think only meter console and tail lamp is different from old Dazzler. Feels like the old wine in new err old bottle. Dazzler felt small for medum built person.
I too saw some new CB triggers on road and even one with rear drum brake too.

I met with a small accident. I didn't see a big pothole/crater because of my helmet reflections (due to lot of scratches) and I fell down with minor injuries
After this, my family is totally against to buy a premium bike which is looking more scary for them (Karizma or Thunderbird).
Now they are forcing me to buy a car, don't know what to do. I'm really concerned about driving car in this mad traffic. Difference in commute time will be significant (in bike if it takes 45 min, in car it will take more than 1.5 hr)
Really confused

That is something sad to note buddy !! but such incident should not take you away from driving bike, but it should work like alert for you. Yes family concern is also correct in their way, yes a car is safer than a bike, but yes it takes more time in traffic.
Similar situation for me when I met with an accident on my bike in 2004 from then I drove my splendor for another 6 years but bit differently as using it for only short distances and bought a M800 in 2006 and my daily commuting changed to car though it takes little more time. Then onward when I have gone for a new bike, I just took a simple daily commuter which serve my purpose of 5 kilometer radius near my home.
Now I use my dream yuga for home needs near the house and everything else in my car(Ritz diesel). So think in those grounds

True. Only thing is we need to have patience to drive car which I lack a lot. When I drive my dad's car, stuck in traffic and when I see many bikes crossing ahead of me by zig zag driving, I feel dissappointed but during raining days, many times I use to wish for a car, to reach office without any glitch

Actually premium bikes / above 150CC class bikes are way better than 100/125 cc bikes in handling. They are safe in better speeds compared to 100 c bikes due to their wider tires , better brakes and better chase & handle.
