Hi guys!
I am Rajarshi, and am new to xBHP forum (new to the forum, not to the travelogues.. ). I am from Kolkata, and need some advice before I buy a bike.
Requirements: A bike, only for fun. I reside in a college campus, there is not much requirement for everyday travelling. My campus is 50km form the city, so maybe once a week, I will be going to Kolkata city. My friends have bikes, so I want a bike too.
I want a bike only for two years, as I will be going abroad in 2012 for higher studies. I will sell the bike in may-august 2012.
I am looking to buying a second hand bike, as a new sporty bike will cost me upward of 70k.
I have been offered a Pulsar 150 Dtsi at 47k. The details are as follows:
Purchased: 19th August 2009 (single hand)
KM done: about 10k
Body condition: Excellent (as far as I could see atleast)
Reason for sale: Owner moving out of town, to diff state.
Lifetime tax paid, One year insurance done (expires in Aug 2011)
I rode the bike, but myself being a novice, I can't say much about the engine and all. The bike gives a sweet sound, and doesn't emit any smoke or such.
However, the renewed insurance papers doesn't give No-claim bonus. Does it necessarily mean that insurance was claimed?
Is the price of 47K okay for this bike?
What all should I see before buying the bike? Any check list I need to be aware of?
