[What Bike]: Budget : 40-45k...which bike??? - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

happybiking · 09-12-2009, 12:14 PM

I know this would sound a bit strange as here usually people compare performance bikes...had that been the requirement I wouldn't even had raised a thread for the same as we all know extensively about 150-220cc ones...

Following is my requirement :

Need a 100/125cc bike @ a price range og 40-45k max OTR

Requirements:

1. Should be the best VFM in its segment.
2. The bike being for a senior person(aged 54) doesn't exactly need a kick-ass acceleration but should have a gud enough mileage.
3. Lighter the better but no XCD125/Platina

4. Would be used in hilly area with lots of slopes(= lot of gear shifts) but gud tarmac & negligible traffic.

5. Should not look too ugly for a youngster to ride at times

6. Maintenance should not be a pain in the a**

Any kind of help is appreciated...

P.S : I like honda stunner the most in this section but can't go for that as it would be used by a senior person and not a youngster.

Go for the discover 100. It will give good mileage and also looks nice. Maintenance will not be a problem either.

I agree too.

the Discover 100's got good mileage, looks good and sturdy and also got nice features like 5 gears, DC lighting, Nitrox shock absorbers and oh yes a Self Start as a standard feature.

Can't ask for more at 40-45 K

Other options are Hero Honda Splendor, TVS Star City and Yamaha Alba. Walk into showrooms, take test ride to decide.

happybiking · 09-12-2009, 10:16 PM

Thanks for the inputs guys...

So, Discover 100 is what you all say...Hows this splendor NXG???

Bikes I kinda short-listed :

1. Discover 100
2. Splendor NXG
3. Hows TVS Star City???

@Srini : Typo tha yaar...samjha karo... edited now

P.S : Are there any 125cc bikes at all @ this range ??

..Boy!!! never thought selecting a bike will be such a problem...almost forgot about this segment...

Honda Shine 45k otr for the version with self start and alloy wheels, Good looks, Nimble and Torquey. It looks good and is very reliable too.
