    infact more of to buy or not to buy : Migelli 250 R

    Hi everybody,

    sold my Pulsar 180 UG 3 and got a job in this place called Tajikistan. now i live in Dushanbe for some time.

    i have come across this bike being sold here in a shop, it's clled a megelli 250 r . let me tell you it looks oh so gorgeous in flesh. totally killer stuff. but, it is made in china, though by a british manufacturer.

    so this is the resume. 250 cc. 27 bhp. liquid cooled, aluminium subframe, aluminium swingarm, parforated discs front and rear and so on.

    will get this here for about 2600 USD ( 1.3 lakhs ).

    so guys please let me know your comments on this one. other options will be used Japs.

    all comments welcome. I am 5.4 and 80 kg. have experience with all indian bikes and one yzf400 yamaha.
    info on link below i am sending another link with the photos i took myself today.

      I presume this is the bike you are talking about.

          It seems to be a pretty decent bike, though not extraordinary.

          Anyways, at what price are you getting the ninja there?

            looks amazing!!!! hows the reliability, service factor ( interval, cost ), cost of ownership, and resale??

            Any good second hand options for you to consider??

              also, the bike does seem to have some rebound damping in contrary to what is written in the above review, i guess that is because the bike is imported here as is from UK. underseat exhausts and soft compound tyres are there as told to me by the salesperson.

                the sad thing is no Kawasaki dealership here. Ninjas are available as second hand options only.

                Guarantee is of 6 months. service after that is paid!!!!

                other options have to check out especially second hand ones but my guess is about 3000 usd for a CB400 honda or 600 gixxer. will visit the market place this weekend and put out my options here.

                thank you MT01 and jd666 bros.

                  Looking like a scaled down version of the Ducati 916, with 27 bhp,17.8 ft-lbs of torque redlining at 10 K rpm with a six speed box, superbly welded tubular/trellis frame with under-seat exhaust....excellent package, superb styling. the only minus point is its single cylinder mill. could be a potential killer of sub 250 cc bikes if introduced in India with proper service backup

                    The bike is looking superb & just 1.3 lacs for it. Oh man why dont they launch this beauty in india at such a price. I bet there wouldnt be any sales of the N250 or R15..

                    BTW why do you want to go for a second hand bike for a higher price when you are getting a brand new bike for a lower price??

                      I am having second thoughts because it is not much of a dealership and they do not have a proper service set-up as of yet. this bike sells for 3500 USD in US with an 18 month guarantee. the price i am talking about is like buying it "as is" if anything is seriously wrong with the bike, these guys will repair or replace the parts but after that they won't give me after sales service. yes the bike looks spectacular and the built quality is up to the mark. the frame looks very sturdy and the seating position gets you instant adrenaline and hypertension. the only thing is I want to be sure about the brand itself.

                      the second hand bikes, though used ones, are still of japanese origin and the tech at engine and frame levels is very advanced and the machines are built to last. so sometimes its better to buy a used bike from UAE or say ( god bless good luck) from Germany than buying a brand new bike of soviet or chinese origin. hence all the doubt.

                      trying ot lookup some ownership experiences on Indonasian forums.

                        here's the info about megelli Megelli Motorcycles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                        Just look around you. If there are very good no.s of the bike then you can go for it. The best idea would be to meet a well experienced mechanic or an owner of this bike who has been owning this bike for a minimum of one year period.

                            Even I am now having second thoughts about recommending this bike.

                            Come think of it, 6 months warranty, if anything goes wrong, the replace the parts and void your warranty.

                            Imagine if there is a battery failure, they will replace it and void the warranty.
                            The next day, your bike's engine dies.
                            Warranty void, nowhere to go.

                            And single cylinder on a 250 cc bike with 27 BHP is a strict no-no.


                            And no one here is sure of the brand either.


                            My advice: avoid

                              6 months warranty??????? just don't even consider it will be a waste of your money. instead save more and get a jap bike.
