the bike is a FS plate. the owner paid 15K for it. he said i can just take over and pay the rest of installment, road tax, insurance. since i just passed 3 weeks back, i don't noe anything about bike. i thought i just ride ard for 1yr+ then sell or wat and get 2A bike after getting licence. but as far as he tell me, fuel comsumption is very high and also scramble got high maintaince. i also dunno if there's a market for this scramble 2 year later.
wonder if
1) this is a good deal,
2) how much can i sell after 1 year
3) how much can i sell after 2 year and paid fully?
4) what other recommendations, bikes, to get? i understand that i can get a new bike with 6000(266x24). but it's still lppl if i'm going to sell it off 1 or 2 yr later, and get a lower price for the new bike like SP or cbr150. what i'm more concern is the price difference.
Honestly, KTM200 is just not worth it. Take it from someone who rides a scrambler.
Handling of the bike is good. Power is awesome but the parts are expensive. And the bike is not so reliable at times. Petrol consumption is 9-10 litres for 180 km.
Better to get a road bike if ur tinkin of $$.
But if u realli like scram. WR is good. Handling is also good. Although the power is not as good as KTM200... it is still acceptable. Parts are quite cheap. Petrol consumption is 8-9 litre for 200 km. I had my wr2 tuned to 7.5 litre for 205 km.
