  • 1 year old RE Thunderbird - 6500 kms.

    Hi All,

    One of my relative is selling his 1 year old RE Thunderbird twinspark. I am considering to buy it and need your suggestions.

    Bike: RE Thunderbird Twinspark.
    Model : January 2010.
    Price quoted : 70K
    KMs done : 6500 KM approx
    Condition: Good

    I want to know whether spending 70K on a 1 year old RE is OK or should I consider buying a new one. I will be touring on that bike and will also use it for my daily usage to go to office (approx 50 kms daily).

    The owner is moving to US permanently so I need to make a decision in 10 - 15 days.

    Waiting for your responses.

      Nice

      I think its a great deal. You can negotiate with the amount though. Please do a thorough check on the bike.

            Thanks all for your responses.
            I have checked the bike and also had a chance to ride it.
            The bike rides very well and is in very good condition in this respect and has also done only 6300 kms.
            But there is some rust on the bike here and there. There is rust on the back break pedal and also on the front grill(i hope thts what it is rightly called ) just below the handle.
            The bike has been standing idle for 2 months and is going for service tomorrow.
            Please advise should I still go for it owing to the rust and also how much does the above quoted parts will cost if I get them replaced because of the rust.

            @Lonely Rider : really looking forward to joining the RE family ASAP, just need to sort out these issues.

            @tilak_soni73 : yeah i'll try to close the deal ASAP.

            @pushkarb : yeah will try to get the price down as much as possible.

                Definitely a good buy.. No looking back.. Just sign the papers..
                Rust is an inherent property of RE.. My CLASSIC-500 started showing rust in just 2 days after i got the delivery.. Will get the parts replaced ASAP..
                Hope this helps & solves your queries..
                Cheers..
