I have narrowed down the options available to two contenders:
1. Suzuki Gixxer - 2015 model, approx 30k km done, body has a few scratches, back tyre is fully worn out and needs replacement, battery also has to be replaced. I test rode the bike and it had very good engine feel and sitting position felt very comfortable. Owner let slip that he is a stunter - which has me slightly worried. But I didnt see any obvious accidental damage apart from the scratches. Price: 34000. But adding the cost of new rear tyre (~3k) and battery (~1k), total comes up to 38000.
2. Pulsar 135 LS - 2017 model, just 5k km done. Haven't seen the bike yet. It is listed on Droom. Have placed request, waiting for them to get in touch. Wondering if Droom itself is a plus point because they are claiming they test the bike and certify it. Pictures suggest that it is in perfect condition. And obviously very low usage is a major plus point. Lower kerb weight is also a plus point for me. Slightly worried about the power of the 135cc engine on my ocassional highway trips. Price: 36000.
