Hello everyone,
I am from Assam, work in railways(group d), am 27 yrs old and short (5.2) and travel a lot on duty by bike. My journey per day ranges from 20 to 120 km which is roughly 2000 km per month.
I sold my 4 year old FZS today, (+2 yrs with previous owner), due to mileage issues and maintenance cost , which was a good bike, never let me down. So I need a new bike for travelling in very bad roads, forests and highways. I should also say that it will face sun, rain, cold all and everyday , as I have to work anywhere at anytime within 120km distance. I generally drive at 50-55-60 speed.
My expectations from the bike:
Price- don't mind the cheapest and the ugliest one.
110-125 cc only
Don't need bajaj, TVs. I like to look at them but not buy one.
1. Mileage Any where above 60-65 is worth it,
2. Reliability is the big factor as it is hard to find people in the places I go.
3. Ride quality/comfort must be good on bad roads/ long journey at 50kmph, less vibrations.
3. Tubeless tyres
4. disc brake?
5. Maintenance cost should be low as can't spend 1/3 my income in bike.
5. Good pickup for city traffic as down grading from fzs will be pretty hard.
6.
I searched for such threads but did not find any with recent recommendations.
I liked dream yuga, but dealer guys told me that dream 110, yuga, neo production has stopped and asked me to buy livo instead. Crux r not available too.
So, Honda shine- 71000, has every thing but very costly.
supersplendor- 65000, can I add disk break, tubeless? How much would it cost?y
HF dawn/ deluxe- 50000/52000,both questions from above. I like these two the most because of the price. But worried about ride quality and if underpowered. We have to do physical labour at work, so backpain will ruin my source of income, if I get any. Any other options are welcomed.
So, Please give some feed back brothers, I am really in a dilemma here. What do I do. And apologies for such long post. Thank you.
