2lakh+ is budget king for you? Never felt so poor😂

I bought Honda CB350 RS 6 months back, enjoying it. The engine is 👑

RS is a very good bike. Zero vibration and clean gear shifts. 
  
 But it's not good outside the city. Majorly because of the high gear ratio I think.  
  
 Even though there is 5th gear it is jst for maintaining one speed. In mountain roads it gives quite a hassle with gear shifts. You feel the bike is not even moving at all. 
  
 But I like how much fun it is to drive in the city and short distance and amazing exhaust sounds.

Triumph Speed T4  Speed 400 now in with less cost exshowroom of ₹2,17,000. It's the same KTM 390 engine with Telescopic forks and a smaller rear suspension.   Is it worth it?

I am a noob at bike but have some disposable $$ to put into a good bike. The current idea is to go for a decent bike which isn't too much over the top. The budget goes from 2lakh to 5 lakh. It isn't a rational buy but a emotional buy.

What would be your suggestion in these ranges
Below 2 lakh
2 to 3.5 lakh
3.5 to 5lakh

And why?

I have shifted recently to Blr and for commuting I need a second hand bike as of now. From where I can get it at a good price and in good condition. Any ideas?
You can DM me also

Need second hand bike

I was checking spinny for pre-owned cars but their prices seems to be very unrealistic. 

Below car is listed for 4.43L, and the RTO registration of this car will expire in the next 3-4 years.

spinny preowned car prices are insanely high

29M here. I live in 4km radius of my workplace and have previously enjoyed living in 2km & 180m radius of my workplace in HSR. I’ve been in Bangalore(HSR) for 6+ years and have never needed to own a vehicle(thanks to Ola/Uber/Rapido, BMTC, Bounce, Vogo, Yulu, Drivezy, and a couple of friends). I often walk back from office as time consumed by bus+wait time = walking back home+5mins. Besides busses are a bit unreliable & often too crowded. I used to work in a startup so I had very little free time to venture out & I’ve been very frugal with money even though I have decent income. I’m fully I’ve always lived way under my means like a tech-bro. 🥲

I’m now willing to purchase one for office commute & to enjoy some solo trips as I might get married by next year. I sort of feel not owning a vehicle(preferably car) could be a potential red flag for the girl(&her judgemental parents; AM sucks, lol) but I’m planning to hold off a car as my commute time(&⛽️₹) will increase and buy a working scooty/bike which can sort of ferry me quickly and cheaply to local meet-ups, relatives’ homes for free food/celebrations. I feel I might miss out on crucial contacts, awesome learnings & above all time(the most expensive resource) if I don’t own a reliable 2wheeler.

Two wheeler expectations:
- comfortable city driving; expecting to not ride more than 20km/day(Scooty wins here hands down as I have a decent place to throw in the laptop bag and keep my spine straight)
- okay road trips for maybe once every two months(sports bikes rule here, no gf sadly🥲)
- low servicing overheads(rules out 2nd hand vehicles, as 2nd hand vehicles as they are expected breakdown more frequently & recurring servicing cost) (EVs win here, until🔋😒)
- as low cost of ownership+purchase as possible (basic bikes like Pulsar/Platina could be a good choice, Ather 450 gets booted out as it’s ₹1.6L)
- likely not an EV(coz once a while I’d like to hit the highways & I hate surprises so no Ola)

Please guide me peeps🙏
