Hi Prashanth !
Thanks for the valuable inputs. No. I haven’t made a purchase yet. I decided not to give away the P150 as I received advice from some of my friends. They think my P150 is a gem still at its best both on economy and pickup and it is not worth giving away at prices that are being quoted. Sounded like a lot of common sense to me. So I’ve decided to retain it. But the RTA thingy bothered me a lot and Road tax is becoming steep in the coming days. Now I’ve worked out a deal with my younger brother who is a marine engineer (who is on the high seas most parts of the year) to buy the Kawa in his name. So I get to use it while he’s at Sea J. He’d be in town in a month and that’s when we’re going to make the purchase.

If so what are the strings attached to it (if any). This is a late reply and you've probably made your buying and selling decisions by now, but what the Bajaj Probiking showroom in Hyderabad offered me for my 2003 Classic Pulsar 180 (only 16800-odd kms to date) was 17500 which I felt was really low. RTA work would cost an extra 1000. OTOH if I kept the 180, RTA would levy 2-3% (of the Ninja's value) additional road tax on me because I'm adding on a second vehicle. I don't know if this is true only of AP or is the case in other states as well. So Bajaj PB seems to have some sort of an exchange scheme although the company does not promote it. I think each dealership has some local guy on board who deals in used motorcycles. Regards, Prashanth _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
