[What Bike]: Help required in buying a second hand bike - Page 2 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

RX 135 it is. No second thoughts about it. This bike matches all your requirements. Light weight, amazing pick up and with the torque it generates, u can be assured of getting a good top speed as well. But be careful in your search. Spend some time looking for a good RX. It will be well worth the wait.

I was offered a 1.5 year old bajaj xcd 125 for rs. 35000... Is that a good deal?

I would recommend you a new bike. If you can extend your budget a little, you can get a 125 cc bike, else you can get a new bike in that cost.

i agree with that too....new bike means least expenditure on maintenance....

you can easily get a 2 year old 150 CC machines(eg Unicorn/apache etc.).. If you have any friends in IT sector then try to get from them... usually they are in good condition

..people leaving abroad sell them at good prices. I wouldn't prefer old Pulser (infact any BAJAJ machine which is more then 2 year old, unless its really cheap).. try to find a maintained UNICORN, even if it has done 20k kilometers, engine will be still smooth and good power.

i agree to that....actually all the bajaj engines start producing sound after 2-3 years...so purchasing a second hand bajaj is not a good idea...

Yep, I agree there. Pulsar's aren't two good after a couple of years.

But I'd really like to go for a lightweight bike...

I think the Apache bikes are quite light. Is that correct?
How good would a second hand Apache bike cost me... say 2 yr old Apache. And how is it's maintenance after a couple of years+

Meanwhile I'm still hunting for a good RX135.

RXZ is 135cc as well isn't it? What the difference b/w RXZ and RX135?

^^ The bike will be absolutely fine for you. Just test ride and see whether the riding posture is comfortable for you or not. I don't know about the credit card thing, probably someone with more gyan can help you on this.
