Not recommended!

Since you also need to get it registered in your name, get the RC, new insurance done. Any free coupons may be void (if you mention you got it second hand), plus any other expense incurred will all come close to buying a new bike!

1. The ownership transfer charges are: 1000/-
2. I spoke to BAL service center and they said, I can avail the remaining service coupons irrespective of ownership transfer.
3. The final price we are still fighting on is 68K. In Pune on road new Avenger is 82K. so 14K hit for a 5 months old bike. I would keep it for couple of years and then shift to another. so I might take a hit of another 10K. Which I guess would be ok for me. By that time even R15 V2 would in resale market. So I might keep both after 2 years
4. My mechanic saw the bike and said everything is all right.

Will keep you guys posted. I still have FZ/R15 in mind if this deal does not go through.

well it is already in the second hand market.came across two such sell,guess rear seat didn't suit them.
i would anyday suggest you to leave the avenger and go for a new bike.

I am not really interested in run of the mill bikes... Avenger was always on my list.. n then came this 2nd hand Avy in d picture... Im saving 50k for not going to R15.. Lets see if the deal closes at 68k

If you like the R15 from your heart go for it. But if you want a bike that is logical for your use I would suggest the FZ. Great city bike and very comfortable for weekend rides. The only problem is that the bike feels strained beyond 80. FE-40(max). The FZ makes more sense for your usage I guess. Other apt bikes would be the Honda Dazzler and Suzuki GS150R.

You want a comfortable bike also good on FE. Check out the new Pulsar 200 NS. With road tax also it would be comfortable in your budgets. Bajaj service network is really very good and they are the leaders in mileage too. The new bike looks fresh out of the normal clutter and has a nice feeling.
Beware of Yamaha bikes. They are overpriced and they loot in services. A friend of mine recently bought FZ. Hes getting mileage of 27kmpl in the city. R15 gives 35kmpl but you would be looted in the servicing. Nice handling but uncomfortable for long rides and sales of Yamaha is very low and also network is very limited.
Suzuki gsx 150R. Very nice bike with 6speed and price very low but suzuki have very limited dealers and low sales.
You can also look at Honda Unicorn Dazzler which will be below your budget but nice refinement when compared to any other bike in the country. Though it would lack the charisma of P200NS. Go for Bajaj/Honda Bikes servicing and FE would be taken care of. All the best.

Dude Avenger is an awesome bike when quality comes. You are not talking about the xcd or discover bikes. In 83k yamaha fz16 etc just dream of quality what Avenger possess. Avenger has much better quality than old gen pulsars too.
After the next generation pulsars come they are gonna be high on quality do not worry.

And I wud recommend do not buy R15 v2 the overpriced crap. Its most overpriced and overrated bike in India. Just wait for Honda CBR 150R if you want a track oriented bike or the faired Pulsar 200 NS. Both are anyday better bike than R15 v2.

Guys,

After a lot of thinking and checking out other parameters, I zeroed on "Avenger" that too the second hand (6 months old) becasue:

1. I liked the ride of this bike and looks like its perfectly suited for my weekend rides (50-100km).
2. I always liked the way it looks and its kind of Exclusive in the run-of-the-mill bikes
3. Finalized the deal at 68K, even though it looks a bit on high, the owner has got quite a hit on resale. I might sale it off after couple of years, depending on its performance on my parameters.
4. After going through all bikes that I was looking at, R15 was dear to me but then it certainly looked over priced for its engine.
5. A lot of money saved , looking at my 80-120K price bracket.

Thanks a lot guys for all your help !! Really appreciate !

take care of your steed.happy motoring.
