    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      second ad has been removed ,so only one choice left... and by seeing the first bike in pics i think the seller is trying to hide something from bike as both the pics are too bad...

        Change the city settings and choose a mumbai specific bike.. there would be plenty. There is no point in buying a bike that is not from your city.

        You cant own a bike unless you go there and provide your residence proof and transfer the ownership. THen you will have to bring it in your city with a NOC and get it registered there. Or else, seller comes to your city with NOC, gains a mumbai registration and sells the bike to you and goes back.

          regardless of whatever you shortlist online, never ever commit to buying something without seeing it in real. There will be several choices - shortlist a handful, take a day off and spend tiem checking all of them individually.

          Check for tell-tale signs before starting the engine.
          - welded points,
          - big stickers (mostly used for covering dents or scratches),
          - tyre wear,
          - physical condition of the engine (Accumulation of grime on the engine fins is a sure indicator of a poorly maintained bike),
          - oil leakage stains.
          - messy wiring (indication that owner messed with the electricals)
          - Start the engine and check the engine sound, electricals etc.

          Some owners will give the bike a good wash to get rid of some of the signs of poor maintenance, but do keep an eye out. Ensure that you check the bike's service & Traffic records.

          Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!
