If you are looking for a cheap 2nd bike, look for Suzukis. Example FC110, Smash 110, GSX110 for 4 stroke. Suzukis always have lower resale value but the bike is reliable, cheap to run with low Fuel Consumption.

4 stroke for the totally new guys are those without having to put 2 stroke oil. Just 4 stroke engine oil for maintenance. 2 strokes are the smoky louder ones on the road.

Thats said, 2nd hand 2stroke bikes also can buy for your budget like the Suzuki RC100, Honda Hurricane or Yamaha Sports.

What you need to do before you buy your bike? You can an experienced friend to check out the bike for you, test the engine sound, if it is too noisy and rattling, don't buy it.

bro, his budget 1k plus, second hand due to that he is not looking for new.

Added on January 5, 2012, 10:56 amWhere are you from? If Pj area, I recommend Chia Motors Bandar Sunway. (not seapark branch).

Look for the specky boss Ah Wai. Say Jonathan GPZ recommend you. He is a nice chap, good quality of work done and he never keeps a samurai sword ready. (if you know what i mean).

If you are in JB, go to Singdeca Motors, Jln Tebrau, opposite of the stadium, before Citibank. Look for Raymond Choo the boss. He is by far the best motorcycle shop owner I have ever seen. Honest and reasonable price. Good quality service also.

Better take 4 stroke, especially you are new to bikes. Lest you forget to add 2 stroke oil, you might risk seizing your bike up. Also like I said 2 strokes are more noisy and smoky....

4 stroke just maintain the engine oil when doing normal service, 2 stroke need to clean exhaust, clean carbon deposits etc.....

Oh why you say that? I too was a 2 stroke die hard user before, but after using the 4 stroke, I never looked back.

I personally own an RGV.
Here's a cost breakdown for your reference:
4-stroke small cc:
Avg petrol at normal speed = 45-50 km per liter, ~4 sen per km.
Avg petrol at high speed above 90 kmh = 35-45 km per liter.
4T: Every 3000km. RM20.

2-stroke: (My data for year 2011)
Avg petrol up to 120kmh: 3.7 km per liter, ~5 sen per km.
2T: 1 bottle every 1000km (surprisingly consistent). I spend RM20 per bottle.
4T: Every 3000km. RM20.
don't forget every few months or 2 services or so you need to open block to clean carbon, "korek" the exhaust to clean the exhaust and 2 stroke bikes need to change the spark plugs more regularly too!
Also if your 2T pump suddenly spoil or fail to pump enough 2T (without you knowing it) the whole block can seize - happenned to my buddy's 1 year old Kips.....

Try Chia Motors at Bandar Sunway. Look for Ah Wai the boss. Honest and reasonable prices.

Yeah he did sell a second Kriss for around your budget the other day when I was there servicing my bike.

His contact? 019-3630898, but trust me, go for a 4 stroke. A Kriss or a Suzuki like I mentioned.

Mention that I recommended you. Sure ok suggestions given...

Forgot to note, he usually opens his shop around 12noon and stays open till around 8.

So have you bought your bike?
