Query about a Second-Hand Thunderbird!! - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Hi Guys!!!

My friend wants to buy a RE Thunderbird Twinspark in Mumbai... We had been searching around for a couple of weeks, and We have chanced upon this one Bike, a 2009 Model, done about 20k kms...

The Owner is asking 75k for it, inclusive of Name change charges and all...
From whatever superficial checks I could do,
1)The Bike's been put down, as could be seen from the Leg gaurd...
2) The engine seems ok, pulls without knocking from very low rpms, does high rpms ( With a bit of Vibes) without much fuss...
3) No wierd noises from the drivetrain or the Shocks...
4) No Probs with the electricals...
5) Not any noticable Clutch slip... The Clutch has never been replaced, but still looked to be in a reasonable shape...
6) The exhaust has a bit of Minor rusting overall...

So now, Is there anything else Bullet-specific I should be looking for???

Is the asking price reasonable???

Or better, Mumbaites, Can you point me to some good Bullet Mech in the Powai-Goregaon area, whom I can take along for a better look???
