What type of rider will you be? Take care of bike and learn all about it, or you want something hassle free?
Look at that budget, I will speak based on kapcai.

i travel around 35KM 1 trip to my office, so 1 day around 70Km. using the new modenas elegan 200. so far so good. but its a bit pricey. but i love the bike. no regrets getting it. good storage space and also great pick up. go up hill my speed won't drop not like riding kap cai last time.

If you're going to depend on it, I suggest you save up and get a new bike that covers with warranty.

If really 2nd hand with that budget, cheap and reliable, in no particular order I list some personal recommendation:
- 4stroke: Honda EX5, Modenas Kriss; Yamaha SRV, SRE, SRX (These are the older Lagenda model).
- 2stroke: Yamaha Sports, SS; Suzuki RG, RGV.

Old bikes like these are prone to stop during heavy rain. I suggest you run the engine warm, and then splash the bike with running water from above like it is raining, so that you don't get stuck in one heavy rain some day with a bike that won't start.

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.

'how bout u try that new modenas mr1
RM3k only. new.
cheap fuel,and cheap maintenance also

Where 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.....

owh.. soryy2. i think as for 2nd bike if at shop also hard to find. maybe can find at mudah..

I still suggest 2 stroke bikes since he travel 70km a day.

If I were you, I'd go for an Yamaha SS (110cc), or Suzuki RG/RGV (110cc/120cc).

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...
