Gixxer 250 vs Duke 200 vs Karizma vs Ns400z

Which of the following is a better beginner bike ? I basically have a budget of 2.15L and i want a fun to drive bike for weekend runs and long tours (3-4 times a year ) . Gixxer 250 is reliable and decently powerful but reviewers say it is pretty out dated . Honestly I don't care much about electronic features like phone connectivity and stuff but dual channel absc, traction control and riding modes are must . Duke 200 is a bit too aggresive for my liking and the power delivery is good only in higher rpm ranges . Ns400z seems very good vfm ( never took a test ride tho ) but i do think a 40hp 400cc is a bit too much . Also stock brakes and tyres arent good enough ( again ...never did a test ride but that's what reviewers say ) Kinda mixed opinions about Karizma xmr...it looks beautiful for sure but the 250cc is about to be launched so is it worth waiting for

Please give your opinions on this and also suggest other bikes ! I personally side with the Gixxer 250 for it's looks , performance and reliability
