Need to buy a good scooter/bike
I need to buy a scooter/bike. I don't have any bike/scoot in mind as of now.
My usage will predominantly, be in city and that too very limited i.e. 200-300kms per month. Will be used basically for commuting and to some extent for a some short city biking.
Main things I would like to have:
1) Nearly 0 maintenance. Good servicing available.
2) Decent max speed - ~80-90kmph w.o. shakes
3) Good enough (at least 45) city avg
4) Easy to control in the worst possible traffic
5) Good looks
6) Shouldn't look cheap
I don't have any cap on the budget but in general wouldn't like to go over 70k.
Things which don't matter:
1) gear/no gear
2) scoot/bike
I have too many things in mind w.o. any comparison b/w those. Listing here in their category, please suggest best in the respective ones with pros and cons. (I do not have much of exposure to honda/hero honda's/... new bikes and their performances, so those are missing)
Access125/Activa/Pleasure (Blade or any new good one if available)
XCD125(w or w.o. sprint)
-- both of these are in the same price range, i suppose.
FZ16/RTR160/GS150R
-- I can also go for a 2nd hand if I get a really good deal(is that advisable?)
Pissed off of the wait times for FZ16(1month in BLR as told to me), GS150R(In jan only) and Access 125(50-75days)
This will be my first owned bike though I had ridden 4s Champion, Suzuki 100MaxR, Splendor in the past.
