  • Its deep trouble.

    Hi guys ,
    I`m Kishore , a student in Pune , originally from (trichur) Kerala . Home right now , for vacations.

    I`ve been riding bikes for the last four years and is addicted. I recently did a Pune to thrissur ride on my HERO HONDA HUNK . FOr the same reason , my parents are not really willing to let me take my bike back

    So tats wher i need help. I need a bike , for the fact tat i can`t live without riding , but of minimum cost because its all from my pocket money . W


    What do you guys suggest ? I may even consider a chetak if i have no other option, coz i might get one for 2k ! help me keep my riding spirit up !

      I suggest Gladiator ... At a comparitively low price, you get a bike with good power, class leading top speed, good looks, sporty edge, etc.

      It may cost around 49k on road, and it has an acceptable resale.


      OR you can consider a second hand gladiator, which you may get around 25k or a bit more/less ...

            What's your budget bro? Do you need a new bike or are you fine with a second hand one? You can get a Platina for 38k on road.

                Go for a second hand 100cc/RX/MAX100R.

                  Or even something like a Samurai. Way better than a Chetak (ugh!)!!

                    no bhashan or advice... just my opinion just ignore if u dont like it :

                    i will suggest a free option
                    convince your parents man

                    why are you wasting unnecessary money.....
                    ultimately if u buy something shitty..... as u ride long... u may get back pains wrist pains etc and will end up spending more money on treatment than what u will that crap for ....
                    n seriously trust me .... back kinda problem dont subside easily or sometimes dont go at all...... will stick till lifetime ....
                    so take care

                    sometimes try to reason out things
                    they are your parents... and worry about you

                    so try try try try to ensure that you wont repeat next time and give you ur bike back....... m sure they would give one chance more
                    there is always a way........ try using butter ghee makhan
                    Hope is a good thing ,
                    may be the best of things and
                    no good thing ever dies .

                      Sorry mate, but there can't be a perfect answer for your query..
                      So go out check all the deals, find the one that fits your budget and one which does not burn you pocket every month with fuel bills.. There might be a long list of bikes like max100/cd100/samurai/shaolin/4schampion/caliber or so and so and so... So check, ride and buy it... Good luck dude

                        I agree with you bro.
                        After all they are your parents. You can convince them and get your bike back.

                            have you ever riden a chetak?

                            any ways bro i would suggest you to get a OLD chetak or LML. the LML is a good performer and also easy to maintain.

                            where as chetak is all fun to ride. i had a chetak and i still have a LML.

                            i would pick a chetak it would be around 3K for a OK condition. i have a LML 1997 model and beleive it or not it was offered a whopping 12K last time but dont want to sell where as the LML's are going for as low as 4 K

                              Go for an LML NV!! You would get a decent one for around 8k.
