    am really sorry if I sounded like i was mocking you....
    I didnt have any motive of mocking you.... i was just saying that if you can get one that cheap from a junk yard or from a beat up v twin from the yesteryears (like some you see parked in your neighborhood since you were kids) please let us know and you may even make a profit out of it....

    but within your budget it will be tough to find even a working 4 stroke....
    you can also go for the old rajdoots which had a 175c.c. engine and i think they had a good amount of torque...

      For sourcing engine in Gujri, I don't think its really a nice idea until u know someone or you yourself know that what you are picking is the right one. Generally you wont getting whole engine, it will be dismantled completely.

      IMO its better u source a running engine and concentrate more on the body/charsi designs as per your requirements rather than spending time and money on repairing the engine which u source from Junk.

      My 2 cents. You can very well get a RX or Bullet running bikes for cheaper rates. Get it and play around.

      I would love to meet you once (even more will do)
      No no it didn't hurt me.. Trust me.. Its cool..

      Running bikes for cheap ?? you mean how much will it cost bro ? any idea ? Coz i don't know anything about this used market.. any help.. any people you know ?
