Top 7 pre-owned motorcycles below Rs 60,000

Are you planning to buy a motorcycle? Have a budget of around Rs 60,000? Wish to get a new one but could consider an ‘almost new’ pre-owned motorcycle? Here is our list of the top seven pre-owned motorcycles that can fit your budget and are not older than three years. The list includes different motorcycle types as well as brands, choose wisely.

Bajaj Pulsar 200NS

First up is the 200NS because it offers unmatched value for money. Once a flagship motorcycle from Bajaj, it comes with a liquid-cooled 200cc engine which is almost identical to the KTM Duke/RC 200. It produces 23.17bhp at 9,500rpm and 18.3Nm at 8,000rpm. It features a triple-spark design, along with a new four-valve SOHC, front and rear disc brakes and even a six-speed gearbox. Moreover, this naked-sport from Bajaj even has a higher top speed than the KTM Duke/RC 200s. A clean low-mileage 2013 model year example can fit your budget.

New price – Rs 91,533 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

Used price – Rs 55,000 – 60,000

 

Hero Impulse

If your commute does involve rough-road action or if you wish to get some over the weekend. The Impulse could work well as a first or a second motorcycle in your garage. Standard features include electric start, front disc brake and rear swing-arm with Nitrox mono-suspension. It is powered by an air-cooled 149cc single-cylinder mill that produces 13bhp and 13Nm of torque. What makes this motorcycle capable is the long travel suspension set-up. However, keep in mind that the Impulse was discontinued in 2012 but sold till 2013 until the stock lasted. While searching, do look for a 2012-2013 model. This niche motorcycle will comfortably fall into your budget.

New price – Rs 71,400 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

Used price – Rs 35,000 – 45,000

 

Yamaha FZ/FZ-S

If you are upgrading from an RX or are just a Yamaha fan, the FZ and FZ-S motorcycles should fit the bill. Designed with inspiration from the international Yamaha’s FZ series of motorcycles, it sure is a looker. This ‘fat-tyred’ bike is powered by a 153cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that generates 13.8bhp at 7,500rpm and 13.6Nm of torque at 6,000rpm mated to a five-speed sequential gearbox. This motorcycle sold in large numbers which means finding a clean example should not be a problem. Do not end up paying significantly more for an FZ-S over a FZ because the only difference on the motorcycle were cosmetic.

New price – Rs 81,659 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

Used price – Rs 40,000 – 55,000

 

2014 Hero Karizma

The Karizma has been a popular bike since it was first launched in 2003. In 2014 Hero unveiled a revamped version called the Karizma R. It got cosmetic as well as mechanical updates. The changes to the exteriors include restyled body panels, new headlamps, DRLs and revised tail lamps. The four-stroke SOHC 223cc engine produces 19.2bhp of power and 19.35Nm of torque in comparison to the previous version which produced 17.2bhp of power and 18.35Nm of torque. A good hunt in the market will lead you to easily finding a clean example of this newer semi-faired Karizma. This would be a perfect choice for buyers looking to do some highway cruising.

New price – Rs 83,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

Used price – Rs 55,000 – 60,000

 

Suzuki Gixxer

The Gixxer is undoubtedly the best looking and handling motorcycle in this list. The looks of the motorcycle is inspired by the legendary GSX-R and it borrows many traits from this elder sibling. Suzuki has powered the bike with a single-cylinder air-cooled 155cc engine that produces 13.94bhp of power and 14Nm of torque. This motor comes mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and weighs just 135kgs. The sport-naked is equipped with SEP (Suzuki Eco Performance) technology which, the company claims, helps to deliver both good performance as well as fuel efficiency. The motorcycle has displayed its handling prowess on tracks over the country and won numerous awards. A 2015 model year low-mileage example can be easily scouted for in this price bracket.

New price – Rs 75,040 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

Used price – Rs 50,000 – 60,000

 

Honda Unicorn 160

The CB Unicorn 160 carries influences from the Honda CX-01 concept which was unveiled at the 2014 Auto Expo. The fuel tank gets a muscular design while the headlamp gets a bikini fairing. The bike is powered by a 163cc single-cylinder engine, which produces 14.7bhp and 14.6Nm of torque. While these figures might be higher than what the 150cc engine in the CB Unicorn produces, Honda has managed to extract better efficiency figures out of the rebored 163cc engine. It also comes mated to a five-speed transmission. If efficient commuting is what you are looking at, look no further. An early model of the 160 with very low mileage can easily be found at this price point.

New price – Rs 72,412 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

Used price – Rs 50,000 – 60,000

 

TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS

Racing stripes, faux carbon fibre, matte colour schemes and the sharp design elements really show what TVS was aiming for with the RTR 180. Their tagline for the motorcycle said ‘racing DNA unleashed’. Which led them to equipping the bike with a single-cylinder 177.4cc engine that develops 17.03bhp at 8500rpm and a peak power of 15.5Nm at 6500rpm. The engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox. The bike also features a 270mm petal disc with anti-lock-braking (ABS) in the front and a 200mm petal disc with ABS at the rear that delivers excellent braking. A 2013 model year example with slightly higher mileage will do the trick.

New price – Rs 88,032 (ex-showroom, Delhi)

Used price – Rs 50,000 – 60,000
