Hello TAI, I have got a new bike on Last Thursday, it is Honda's CB Shine SP self drum version , black with red graphics.
Last month i moved to Hyderabad and was looking for a used bike which me and my brother could use.I wanted a combination of power, comfort and mileage so started searching for Hero Glamour and Honda shine in used bikes market. I didn't want to buy very old models bikes so was considering less than 5 years old bikes.
My max budget was 30000 but in this price range 2012-13 models were available and they had clocked 70k-1 lakh kilometres. I was not convinced buying those bikes. I found a shine 2012 model it had clocked 19k km but owner quoted price of 35000. I was ready to take it for 30k but he was adamant so deal was not finalized.
I went to my hometown last Thursday evening and I was in for a surprise, my brother called me and said let's buy a new bike, why look for second hand bike. He then talked to dad and he also agreed. Then we went to Elan Honda dealer in Mahabubnagar and paid down payment, and delivery was made then only.
Extra accessories like seat cover , tank cover, and crash guard were given free of cost. The guy at showroom put 500ml of petrol and started the bike and revved hard, almost redlining the engine. I asked him to stop it but he was like nothing will happen.
Bike was washed and taken out, it was 8:30pm by that time and we went to nearby petrol pump and got the Tank Full. It consumed 12 litres of petrol. I wanted to take it to Hyderabad but since TR number/ insurance papers were not given, I decided to get it registered next weekend. Haven't taken photos because I returned by Sunday so it will be updated once i visit my home town.
More details will be posted soon, can anyone suggest some Run in period tips?
