Come to bicycling 30gram savings costs around 20k

I didn't understand what you wrote, but I assume you do.

Hello Xbhpians,
This question may have been asked many a times, but still I have no option but asking it again.
I am from a district town in West Bengal, riding a Bajaj Pulsar 150 UG3 for more than 8 years. There have been little to no complaints regarding my bike. Perhaps little credit could be attributed to my riding style too. However nowadays I am feeling like upgrading it.
I have been looking for a suitable upgrade since 10-12 months, almost zeroed on CBR 250R. But a few mishaps in my family restricted my purchase. So my searching for my next ride resumed from where it was stalled.
I am 5'8" average build. Riding experience of about 90K kms.
I am looking for a bike capable of cruising around 100 kms with decent pillion comfort and smooth engine. My usage would be in city 50% highway 50% approx, also for occasional touring. Budget around 3 lakhs, could be extended a little further. Also am looking to keep this bike for at least 5-6 years if not more.
After going through the ownership experience threads of Yamaha R3 I almost selected it but the dealer said it's not available here. [emoji19]
So the choice again left at CBR 250R. But considering its falling sales and age would it be good decision to invest in one? Or should I go for a 2016 Duke 390?
Benelli and Mojo are out of option as these are not available in my city and I cannot go to Kolkata for each and every service related issues, if any.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I am considering buying a cbr 250 2011 model with 11k on the odo. Do u think its a good buy for 1lakh?

Price is very high. Early batches had many issues which were sorted out later. Go for at least 2013 model.

Thanks for the response. What will be your price? Its with c abs.

I will bid 80000. Don't go beyond 90. After all it's a 6 year old machine. Also depends a lot upon the present condition. Service and repairs , usage etc..

He is not budging for less than 98k. More over its 3rd hand. I think it will be a no go. I am getting a lot of non abs for this price.. but i really need the abs. Phew. The dilemma of the mind

patience Keep looking for other bikes in the market. for a 5 years old 3rd hand CBR. I wouldn't pay more than 80k as themachinehead suggested. You can get a 2013-14 ABS models with similar odo readings between 1.1-1.25L
