[What Bike]: Second hand Ninja or New CBR250R? - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

This is a semi-hypothetical scenario. I'm pretty much in the market for the CBR and I know the buzz is around that bike, but then I saw this second-hand ninja for sale at about the same price... so which one would it be?

Topic Approved.

I would suggest you wait for the CBR 250 to hit the market, and then take your pick!

Wait for the CBR,letz see how it performs.btw i am against the second hand bikes because u cannot know what type of abuses bike had

.As it is ninja u should be more careful.But if we are selecting a new bike atleast we have a piece of mind,choose wisely.

a second hand ninja for 1.5L??? where???

anyway i'm pretty sure the maintenance costs of the ninja will be just as high as its price tag.
if you think you can maintain it and can get your hands on a properly maintained ninja then i guess
ninja is the best bet.

New is always new. Wait for the more affordable CBR&enjoy the once in a lifetime fun of riding the bike out of the showroom!

Remember that warranty is void for the Ninja for a second owner. I would always prefer something new, given that there is not much disparity between the two bikes.

will prefer a well maintained Ninja anyday over new CBR
