Which 70cc bike to get in 2025?

[mtahaali2004]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice on what kind of 70cc bike I should get as a first-time buyer in Karachi.

My daily commute is 50-55km, 5 days a week, and I'm looking to keep the bike for at least 3 years.
My main requirements are:
1. Good reliability
2. Good fuel average, AT LEAST 50 km/l
Speed, comfort, or looks are not an issue for me.

Online reviews suggest that the Chinese bikes (Unique, Super Power etc) have quality issues and require more regular maintenance than a Honda CD70, which is a concern since my commute is really long and I do not want to risk getting stuck on the way.

However, a friend of mine with a Unique UD70 told me that any new bike should be fine, whether it's Chinese or Japanese.

I don't mind spending more for a new CD70 as long as it's more reliable. Please keep in mind that I've never owned a bike before, so I'm not experienced with bike repairs just yet.

Anyone who's ever driven a 70cc bike in their lives, please give me suggestions and advice!

PS: I am NOT asking for a Pridor, 125, or 150.

Don't get a Chinese 70 ... Terrible quality of all of them. Parts rust, break and age like crazy. In 3 years the bike is usually unrecognisable no matter how much you care for it.
Honda cd 70 new model are trash. Bunch of quality issues such as poor quality mudguards , rims and exhaust. But still better than Chinese. I suggest you getting a old used Honda cd 70. The older the better they are. Don't get one that's used more than 40k as at around 60k you need to do the piston rings on cd 70.
That's the knowledge I have.
