    My Friend Kirthan given that your dad likes to buy you a new bike i shall tell you something which you may be of interest check out kaulson racing on your google search and check out the pocket bikes they cost around 50000INR .they are handy for off roading adventure so you may not sell it when you buy your bull rather treasure it as your first bike also the offroading capability of them ............its better you give it a check

        I would suggest you to go for Shine , a bike with good FE and you will also get a good resale value

          yes...SHINE is a very good option...

          D.I.Y-Valve clearance setting RTR180
          D.I.Y-RTR180 brake fluid replacing/brake bleeding
          D.I.Y-RTR180 brake pad replacing/cleaning
          Exploded view of Mikuni BS-29 carb

          A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

            yes yes i was thinking about the shine as an option. went to the showroom to check it out. but the top end version costs some 64k on road. but i was tempted. have some 3 more days to make my decision

              @kirthan

              Bro, why don't you look for Yammie's newly launched SZ or SZ-X 150 CC bikes ?. I guess it should cost you no more than shine. Since SZ is a new entrant you will look exclusive in ur college and also Yammie's reliability comes hand in hand.

              Don't worry about the resale value buddy. Just for the sake of earning a few thousands more, don't miss your riding joy.

              Also Shine has the waiting period is more than 3 months here in Chennai. The same should be the case in Bang too....

                    well according to me u said it all

                    u have the following good

                    stunner
                    p135
                    ss125

                    actually i would suggest you pul135 for one reason

                    bajaj if gives problems its after 2 years as i heard......so if u sell after a year or 2 then ull enjoy one of the best power cum mileage combo in such a pack and sell to get better

                    till then enjoy the light weight and nice looks......

                        Congrats bro. Great choice. It is actually a re-branded Gladi as far as I know which is already a very good bike.
