Looks like you didn't get the point...

There is a certain amount of risk when buying a second hand bike.Be sure that you get to save some good amount of bucks in case of CBR,or else go for a new one.
Having said that I got Apache 180 second hand after tonnes of research,saved almost 40k,from that of new one.

Hmm.. this is something out of the box, we have both agreements and disagreements here.

I can afford a new CBR 250, but i also do look at value for money. I was kind of thinking on a different perspective.

Considering Sellers with genuine reason to sell their bike.

Buyers like me would not even consider a used CBR 250, if its anything near 20-25k within the new bike's price. And considering that buyers of premium bikes would be very few. And anyone buying a premium bike would be well aware of the poor resale value.

Now if a 2012 CBR is on sale for about 1.3-1.4L, clocking 5k kms or less, it would be a good deal for me... Only risk is to identify a good piece which might be a problem for me.
