Just about everybody seems to be looking at the economy option these days. However buying a bike for the purpose of economy alone is a completely wrong approach to buying a bike. In such a case I would suggest you stick to a smaller car with a frugal engine.
If perchance you have a fondness for 2 wheelers which you have never explored and would take this excuse of economy to open up new avenues in personal mobility; then you are more than welcome.
Just remember that Honda is the market leader in two wheelers world wide and there is a very good reason for this. They have the largest R & D and the products they sell are truly fun to drive and full value for your money.
Since you would be buying for the first time, I strongly suggest you stick to the leader. There is little chance of things going wrong. Just find an authentic, dedicated Honda motorcycle dealer in your neighbourhood and pay him a visit.
I am quite sure that there is a bike out there which will be just right for you. Trust me. I speak from over 30 years of riding experience.
