    Check if there is any engine work required and for overall cosmetic outlook for best negotiation.
    Yes Sriram.. Planning to buy this one.. Seems to be internals parts needs replacement.

    @Bigbore : Bro no mods done. But he says he got the bike for 22k and spent another 23k on the Engine and other servicing. Bugger he is trying to fool me

        1. Determine what internal parts needs to be replaced.
        2. When he said he had 'spent another 23K on the engine and other servicing', find out what has gone inside the bike.

        Find out the above, then you'll know of sure whether he is just fooling or taking you for a long long ride.

            wow! RXZ for 55k! i wonder how much mine should sell for then? 80k??? congrats and great going man, really envious to see so many parts still available!!! hehe.

            Btw, did u check the insides of the new taillight?? AFAIK, it comes in the basic black plastic color, you will have to spray paint it silver from inside to have some reflection, and proper filling of the glass with light.

                As Sriram suggested ask him the details of the engine work that he got done! Coz Rs.55,000 sounds bullshit Max you can pay him is Rs.20,000, not a penny more!

                  Thanks Jaideep How have you been? Its been a while that we'll heard from you. I really had a tough time running around for those 5 speed spares but got all somehow
                  Yes i did check the insides of the taillight, they have black base. Painting them silver from inside makes sense, thanks! Will do it tomorow!!
