Hello, pls i started this thread for Shagati and all other old members of the bikers' clique to enlighten me and all others who like me are newbies to the clique. thanks.

I am planning to get a power bike sometimes early nxt year after completing my service year by Feb/Mar. Being a newbie to the bikers' clique and cos of my limited budget for now (200-250k) i wanna try out with a used bike first.

After searching on OLX i found prices as low as 100k. my questions now are:
1. Is my budget reasonable to get a good power bike.
2. Can those bikes i saw on OLX for as low as 100, 110, 150k be really true or even good ones??

Thanks in anticipation for reasonable contributions.
PS:am already learning to ride with a regular bike.

First things first: get proper superbike training.
Chaps are charging between 40-80k for 4 lessons after which you should be proficient enough to get out on the road.
After or during lessons you can then decide on the type of bike that suits your aspirations (road, sport, cruiser etc)
I wouldn't recommend a 100k bike. Up your budget to say 250 and you should get something reasonable.

Also plan to get proper gear like helmets, jacket, boots and gloves.

Your riding school will answer all questions asked here and more.

Be safe
Cheers

96 percent of adds on olx are scams, (consumer review, 2013).
