Your Budget: 1.5L (can extend to 1.7L)
New or Used: New preferred, open for used options too.
Your Location: Gorakhpur and new delhi
Top Five Priorities:
1. Should be a CBR Repsol edition
2. Comfortable
3. Reliable
4. Low maintenance costs [service and spare parts]
5. Should be able to operate on standard petrol as high octane petrol isn't available in my city.
For What Purpose: Regular commute. Maybe long rides once a year (500KMs)
Type of Bodystyle: Faired
I'm 5 feet 10 inches and weigh b/w 85-100KGs. I currently ride a 2011 FZ-S with 12,000 KMs on odo. I have been drooling over CBR250R repsol edition since i saw one in a local showroom. After 2 years of saving pocket money and part time jobs, i have managed to collect Rs.1.5L for my next bike. I need suggestions from fellow members about the following three options:
1. Wait for 2015 CBR150R repsol edition [twin lamp, CBR300 inspired design]
pros: more fuel efficient than 250, Cheaper to buy and run, high revving engine.
cons: Doesn't feel a worthy upgrade over FZ,
2. Wait for 2015 CBR250R repsol edition [twin lamp, CBR300 inspired design]
pros: Feels better choice compared to 150 due to more power, 6000KMs/6 months service interval
cons: Expensive, repsol edition might be exclusive to ABS variant which is 60k above my budget.
3. Buy a used CBR250R repsol edition [current gen, VFR inspired design]
pros: non ABS repsol edition are selling as low as 1-1.2L, ABS variants are within my current budget. 6000KMs/6 months service interval
cons: Never bought a used bike before, hate VFR inspired design, lack of availability in used market.
ps: I am not in a hurry so i can wait as long as 1.5 years.
pps: I am still a student so can't afford high maintenance costs (i Pay Rs.1100-1300 every 70 days for my current bike's servicing costs). How much servicing a CBR250 costs? Its long 6000KMs/6 months service interval is a big advantage for me as long as each service cost less than 2500.
