Bajaj classic: Those bikes are sure good but not very convinient. I would suggest you go in for a kinetic honda. With the traffic in bangalore now, it is the best. The last time a friend of mine was down, I got him a fairly decent scooter which he rode for 5 months and sold it off, for Rs. 5000. Every mech will repair this bike also and easy to get spares. Itz a nongeared scooter, so good for stop n go traffic.

As for legalities, the papers will be up to date. Unless you are stayin here for very long, I wud suggest U dont get it transferred, dont worry the cops wont hassle you about it, unless U meet with something major. Mostly, the insurance wud have lapsed on these bike but that shud cost you an additional Rs. 600 and emission check for another Rs. 25. So if you want a kinetic, we can finish everything for around Rs. 6000 to Rs. 6500.
