Recommendation for my first bike

[super_marvel]

I've just passed my class2B TP and am looking to buy my first bike. But I need recommendation...

 

My preference would be to get a road bike i.e. a mini-S4 type of bike and am stuck with the following list...

 

Bajaj Pulsar

Honda Varadero 125

Hyosung Comet

(any more to add to the list?)

 

I understand that class2B bikes afterall got no performance, but I still hope to get a bike with above-the-average performance from this list as well as reliability. And furthermore, I'm intending to upgrade to class2A a year later.

 

Which would you guys recommend?

If you confirm upgrading, then your concern is lowest depreciation over a year or a year and half. This means that you should not get a bike that is too young, probably about 3 years or more would be suitable. Of your 3 choices, I'll choose Pulsar.

 

Need to carry stuff? If your budget is about 3.5K or more, a VXR200 Runner is good, and probably can hold its value quite well.

Hmm? I suppose you wish to trade in your 2B bike when you get your 2A? In that case you would probably want to get a second hand bike. Check out the garage sales, theres quite a number of "upgraders" there.

 

If you wish to purchase a pulsar... you might want to wait for the 200 to come out. price depreciation for the 180 will be quite obvious... the depreciation is already starting.

thx guys for your suggestions. i'm now on the lookout for a second hand pulsar... but must admit, it's still aint very cheap...

 

on this forum, i came across a guy selling a varadero for approx 3.5k to 4k. FV plate. thinking about buying from this seller too...

a pulsar would be a good choice, although im riding a vara, cos its fuel consumption is power man! haha =)
