    Query Approved

    I doubt if you will get mileage from either of the above options you have given, but depends what your definition of mileage is.

            Very true... Very hard to find RX's in good condition... N the prices atleast in bangalore are skyrocketing... I was said there is a lot of demand for the bikes now... But if i had to choose i would go for the RX135 5 speed if in good condition and if the price is not too high... Otherwise RX135 is also very good... Owned one for about two years... You should be able to get one for around 20-30 thousand depending on condition( in bangalore, sorry i don no whre you from)...

              Both can give you 35 depending on how you ride them... More so the 5 speed i guess because of the 5th gear... My 135 4 speed used to give a consistent 30 on hard ripping...

                My RX100 used to give around 35 KMPL in Mumbai.

                My vote is for RX135 5 Speed if you can get one. But on the other side there's a different kick in the original RX100!

                        If your main purpose is shopping&small chores nearby, why don't you consider a scooter? It is much more convenient to carry stuff too.

                          An Rx 135 5 speed which can pump out 20bhp at rear wheels with all neccasary mods is a pure weekend masti bike.

                            Indeed. I too will recommend the same (and m doing the same ) .. A scooter is real handy and the pick up should not be underestimated.

                            My stock bajaj Wave reaches 90 kmph in a stretch of 2-3 kms with pillion !
                            Drinks a litre for 40kms running (5km lesser than my avenger).
                            Its also easy to maintain and store.

                              good choice

                              problem is keeping cleaning my avenger on rainy days takes a lot of time,big bike & lots of nook & corners where water needs to cleaned out (though i love it !)

                              so this 2nd bike would double up as rainy day bike too :P

                              i guess RX 135 4 speed it would ...got to see wat i need to shell out for this have a deal for 25k

                              also always wanted to have a RX love the engine roar
