I didn't understand your question. Are you saying one of these...
1. You're inspired by Rx100, sold Pulsar & getting Samurai?
2. You're inspired by Rx100, exchanged RX for Pulsar & want to buy Samurai in addition?
3. Something else?

Hahaha...not overlook, but to understand the requirements clearly. If the requirements are understood clearly, then the answers flows in easily, isn't it?

don't go for 2nd hand 2 stroke bikes ,it will require high maintenance and Fuel and you will be unable to find spares also

Samurai was the Balance between power and mileage. see if you can get one for a good price and condition. Good Luck.

I own a stock Samurai, which has run 60K. The engine has been rebored once at 50K by DTW, Bangalore. I drive ~150 km a day and get a consistent mileage of 55 - 56 kmpl. Only grouch is that the top end is a speedo indicated 85 kph. Plus I always wanted a shogun.
Now my question to the gurus is, how do I go about converting my Samurai to a Shogun. I'm given to understand that I need to replace only the cylinder head and the crank shaft. Everything else was same between the two.
How much would it cost me?
Anyone who's attempted this?
problems I'm likely to encounter?
