Hi there. Im in London for a while and I am hunting for a good bike with upto 750cc capacity and a decent mileage. I need help on the following:

Should I buy first hand or a used one?

What is the price I should pay for a used one assuming that it is in
good running condition?

Note I will have to pay for the duty when I take it to India - but on
a used vehicle I pay only 15% duty where as on a new one it is 40%
duty.

Of course used one makes more sense - but later on I should'nt
spend lots of money on repairs - espeically since I don't get all the
parts in India!

Any comment or help is much appreciated

Hi there!
Don't now if you're still in UK ( maybe wise with the current situation..)
I would go for a Suzuki SV 650, its a great bike. It handles perfectly and is very durable. Pretty easy to work on it's V2 engine, too. The price shouldn't be too bad either, and if you should come across a used one with low milage thats the one I would choose. Good luck!

Hey thanks! Im still in UK and to be honest not 'really' hunting. I come often to UK so I keep my eye open.

hehe I live way down in South and so its not much of a dangerous situation. Thanks for the concern
