Assalamualaikum everyone,
I need a bike for city riding and going to uni everyday. I also plan to do weekend tours and do a Pakistan tour on my bike. Should I buy a brand new GS150 on installments or Modify the CG deluxe that I currently own.
The main pros of buying the GS imo are:
Zero metre bike
Parts cheaper than CB150F and GR150
Powerful engine
Retro looks
Cons
Less than ideal sitting position (I'm 6'1 and the GS sitting position feels a bit awkward)
Bad chrome & paint quality
Shoddy wiring.
On the other hand my deluxe will need the following repair/modification work:
Disc brake assembly
Wiring
Engine (The 125cc engine is too underpowered plus the vibration is very annoying. I will have to swap it with something that is at least 150cc and with a balancer to make it functional)
New Tyres
New fairing or some sort of modification to replace the fairing
Pros:
Seating position ( the stock seating position of the DELUXE is very comfortable and stable)
Cheaper to build
Can build it according to my specifications
Cons:
No matter how much money I spend on it it will still be an 18 year old bike with a ranchore line ka engine and Desi mechanic ka repairwork
Questionable reliability ( the swapped Dubai scrap engine would definitely not be as reliable as the GS150 engine)
Ugly looks ( the deluxe is very ugly and will require a lot of aftermarket bodywork to make it not look like an eyesore.)
