Hello Everyone,

I recently shifted to Chennai, which would be my residence for the next couple of years or so. And my office being about 15kms away from my residence, I need a bike for commuting. I have a budget of about 40k, and certainly do not wish to exceed that. I would also be upgrading a few aftermarket parts, and hence the limit of 40k. My choices are :

Karizma - Powerful, has the Honda engine, and is backed by Hero Honda sales and service. I think, it has an engine which can last longer than most other bikes (Indian makes).
RTR (160 or 180) - This is because I just love the hooligan nature of the bike. I have no idea for how many kms its engine would be good enough, but I personally think that the Suzuki Fiero had the best engine build.
Unicorn - Again, the only reason is the Honda engine. Spares are a bit costly, but it is quite reliable.
Pulsar - Easily available, and easily disposable. This would be my last choice.

I also checked the net and found a few options :

Please suggest me which bike to go for, and also the pros and cons. Owners can surely have a better idea of the bike than someone like me who has ridden all these bikes, but has no idea about maintenance in the long run. Also indicate the approximate prices for the bike that you are suggesting.
My primary concern is a good resale value (which in turn translates to well maintained with all legal documents in perfect condition).
