  • Pls help choosing a bike to buy

    Hi,

    Below are my options:

    2018 Bajaj RS200
    (Pros: Great mileage, Sporty Looks, Cheap | Cons: Really hate the halogen Single eye headlights, and dim DRL)
    Price: 80,000 (Used) - Mileage: 75000 km
    Price: 190,000 (New) - 2019 Model

    2020 Dominar 400
    (Pros: Love the LED Headlights, Full LCD Cluster with abundant info and amazing exhaust Sound | Cons: Bad Fuel economy, Does not imitate a sporty look)
    Price: 165,000 (Used) - Mileage: 10000 km, 2018 model - Did not like the LCD cluster of 2018 model compared to 2019 model.
    Price: 300,000 (New)

    Yamaha R15 V3
    Would love this overall, but too much hassle and unpredictable prices to import
    Price: 225,000 (after import)

    Kawasaki Ninja 300
    (Pros: Sporty Looks | Cons: Mileage and traditional reflection type Halo single eye lights
    Price: 195,000 (Used) - Mileage: 5000 km, 2016

    My Preferences:
    95% highway driver of road speed limit of 140 kmph. I always drive my car at this speed.
    I will take bike only alternate days.
    Fuel consumption is important: at least 35 kmpl in highways
    LED headlights - even aftermarket

    I am leaning towards the 80k RS200, but the 75000 kms is dreadful and unreliable?

      Hi,

      Are you going to use and own the bike in UAE?

      If yes, the RS200 and R15V3 are way too under-powered and light weight for the roads there.

      It's either the Ninja 300 or the Dom 400. But both these bikes will not give you a mileage above 30 kmpl.

      Cheers!

        There's also Yamaha R3, it's a good bike and fits your requirements.
