  • Used bike suggestion

    Hello Friends,

    I'm trying to get a decent bike for daily commute and weekend highway riding.


    1. Budget : 1 lakh max
    2. Age : 26
    3. Height :5'7"
    4. Weight :70
    5. Intended usage: Office commute (15 kms up and down) and weekend highway rides
    6. Fuel Efficiency requirement: Doesn't matter
    7. City & Highway percentage usage : 70% city & 30% highway
    8. Approximate Daily / Monthly running : 35-40 kms daily
    9. City / Town /Village of residence: City (Chennai)
    10. Brand / Bike type preference: R15s / CBR

    I have shortlisted 3 R15s around my place, details follows as:

    1. 6 months old
    6400 kms in odometer
    good condition
    Asking price: 1 lakh

    2. 1 year 3 months old
    10500 kms in odometer
    Haven't checked personally
    asking price: 95k

    3. 1 year 7 months old
    14000 kms in odometer
    haven't checked personally
    asking price: 90k

    I'm bit confused about what should be the proper price and what things exactly should I check except smoke, tires, engine sound, vibrations, engine oil condition, radiator, forks and leakage, chain and chain sprocket condition.
    Could you guys please help me out with this situation.
    Thanks in advance.
