    That's good. 2013 model with 4K, was that guy sleeping on bike all these years
    Anyway when things are cheap, we have to look out for some hidden issues. Good luck and ride safe.[/QUOTE]



    actually he moved to abroad and he used bike only for college purpose....there are no issues with the bike i checked with almost good and experienced mechanics in our area...can you suggest me tips...also i thought of fixing lights (angel eyes search shows in ebay) is it good to fit those type of lights.

      Angel eyes are good, it comes ~2-3K INR (including fitting). But I didn't fix it by myself and I don't consider that easy. Of course you can fit those. I have LED projector which reduces power consumption (8/18W against 55/60W halogen stock)and also goes very easy on battery. Major complaints can be

      1. Handle bar issue, swaying toward left (a lot of users complained)
      2. Coolant leakage or engine radiator fan not working
      3. Starting problem or idling RPM shooting high
      4. Loss of power at certain RPM, or takes more RPM to gain speed than normal
      5. Brakes feedback, weird sounds from wheel
      6. Finally and most importantly vibrations

      While certain things can be fixed, vibration issues, engine harshness, etc can't be if the rider has not followed proper engine running-in. But whatever, 50K is pretty much cheap and you can live with some of these concerns still, I'd say

        I am also considering to buy my friend's NS200 2013 August model 18+ kms mileage.

        1.Body condition is very good
        2. Chain makes alot of sound even I helped him fixing the problem but it again starts within a week.

        3.Recently (2 months) he had a fan issue. Fan didn't start and got replaced.

        4. He got his tyres changed under warranty, new TVS grippy tyre. Not eurogrip but some other.

        5.Brakes are not sharp. Both front and rear.
        6. No damage on body. No dents.

        Running on motul 5100.

        7. No loss of power. No starting problem. Properly serviced. Not soo harsh engine noise.

        8. Body rattles at >8k rpm.

        Battery is stock. No oil leakage.

        Bike was bought on loan. It'd now cleared

        He is asking for 60K. I am negotiating for 50K. What should be the correct price?


        Any other thing that I can mention to reduce price.
        Its not the Bike that makes a Biker perfect, its a Biker who makes his Bike perfect :)

                I know tvs aren't grippy but that tyre is better than EuroGrip

                    50K is too cheap and really he will get hurt. 55K seems to be peace of mind for the seller(a little) and buyer. Body rattling >8K probably is fine as you wont be reaching or spending time there always. If the chain is good and with sharp brakes with MRF tires, he can demand up to 70K with ease.

                      Thanks brother.

                      I will force him to replace all the necessary spares before selling.

                      Sprocket & chain, both brakes pads even discs if required.

                      Rest all is good. He is okay with 60K,
                      Will be taking the bike for a proper checkup to my mechanic

                        This much things I should notice? Can you advice me how to check the following that you told?
                        working of all sensors, any crack in chassis, front fork bend,speed of vehicle in corresponding rpm (At which RPM it should reach particular speed?),oil and coolant.

                        Is that good to take a second hand 200 NS ?
                        Thanks
                        Coolant temperature sensor sends signal around 86 degree Celsius - thermostat valve half open. Above 94 degree -valve full open and radiator fan will kick in. Check corrugated radiator fins for deformation. U can't do much things about oil pressure, Remove some amount of oil from reservoir to check mixture of coolant. IMO Healthy NS will do 70kmph @ 4800rpm.

                            I've been thinking of getting LED projectors as well. Could you post a few pics to show the setup that you have on your bike please? Where did you get yours? And, how good is the visibility and light spread compared to the stock setup and other HID projector setups? I'm afraid that the LED projector lamp setup might not be as bright and doesn't offer good visibility as other HID projector lamps.

                              Test ride the bike first. Then you will get some picture. Ask him for about 2-3 KM ride, try to vary speeds and raise upto at least 6-7K RPM and see if the engine gives any hiccup or vibrations, etc

Please look in to and help me to what are the concerns.
                                if you have zero knowledge of bikes , i suggest take a mechanic to have a look at bike before buying.

                                2015 March bike with 4.5k done going for 75k ! damn , that is sweet deal.
