Kirthan, after a year and a half when you want to sell off your bike, neither the Yamaha or the Bajaj are going to fetch you much. The depreciation is going to be pretty heavy. I would rather look at a Honda Twister or a used Unicorn for about 50k.

to learn riding sorry to get used to riding go for second hand bike .you are twenty now right in my opinion go for a used Rx the best bike Indians have rode till date .since you are planning for a bull later Rx would be the best choice (you will get used to oil spills by the two strokes by then you get your bull which will leak like anything

)And probably you would be in a college the music of Rx exhaust note its a head turner go for it .( Also consider the shogun but availability of spare parts is very scarce keep a note of it that's why i suggested a Rx for which the spares are available yet )

Raja, Used Rx is a good suggestion. But gotta add that the new UCE Bullets dont leak much oil anymore.

As @need4Torque said Yamaha or bajaj loses its resale value to a greater extent after 2 or 3 years... go for herohonda.... mine HH bike sold for a pretty gud amount even after 5 years!!

**111diablo111** · 08-15-2010, 03:22 PM

as we know HH bikes have good resale value..so consider HH Hunk & CBZ Xtreme as an option as well..test drive them & decide which one suits you better..

among P135 n Yamaha Gladiator..my pick would be Gladiator..

Gladiator has been discontinued.
Production stopped.
Now they are clearing the stocks.
Go for YBR 125 or SZ

actually you are wrong. The gladiator has been transformed into the ss125.

@T.S:- If you are too concerned about mileage then the ss125 might churn out a bit more mileage than the p135 but that too if you ride the bike very carefully. But if want a powerfull bike & if you dont have any problems with bajaj then p135 is the answer. It is the most powerfull bike in its segment.

@kirthan your dad said right. Bullet is definitely heavier than rest of the commuter pack we get in India.. if you will sell it within a couple of years then need4torque may be right. P135 is indeed a very good bike Dunno much bout Yamaha 125 as it is new. To accustom to biking 125cc catagory would be a good option at 20. Twister sells on a premium i believe(dunno exactly how much..) So you can look to Yamaha 125 if you find it good. I am sure it would make a great buy...(though i wish it had the front disc)

**Drifty** · 08-15-2010, 06:11 PM

You should go for HONDA or HH.....you are anyway going to buy a bullet after a year....the bike you should be buying now must have a very good resale value... if you are gonna sell the bike afterwards....when you will buy the bullet.....
The two options stated by need4torque cannot be neglected!!!!!!

bro are you talking about the ybr 125 or ss 125. The ss125 is not a new bike. It is the old gladiator only with a fresh stickering job.

**kirthan** · 08-15-2010, 09:00 PM

thanks for all your suggestions

getting the bull after a year and a half or two. im also looking at twister seriously. but i thought 125cc will make more sense. is there a big difference between 100cc and 125? i was really thinking about resale value very seriously and was going to make my decision based only on resale disregarding looks and performance. but my dad told me not to worry too much about it and buy a bike which ill enjoy and wont regret buying. oh and hes against buying second hands for some reason. so itll be a new one only.

**kirthan** · 08-15-2010, 09:10 PM

oh and gladiator is the ss 125. comes with disc brake and all. on road 60k. just been renamed and rebadged. bangalore is the most expensive place for bikes. twister fully loaded model comes at 61k. is it worth for a 100cc? all other honda bikes are above 60k (disc brake versions). and i have tried to convice him to buy me a second hand bike but its nearly impossible as he has a mind block against buying second hands

**sambit** · 08-15-2010, 09:20 PM

If i had to choose between these two bikes,then i would have choosen the Gladiator.
But as you want to sell it afterwards,its better you go for a "Honda shine".
or you can even consider a HeroHonda Passion.
Twister is gud ,but the plastics are not upto the mark,and may fetch comparatively Less Re-sale value.
