You never know if your ATV interest is passing fad or genuine love. So there is little point in spending too much of hard-earned money only to realize this is not for me. Introduction of generic product is essential to lower entry barrier. So people can get out with little loss.
I was prepared to sell surplus ATVs profitably meaning with no loss @ 60 K then meaning two years back and I don’t have precise picture of situation today. Suave smooth talking Bangalore trader quoted 120 K for the identical piece then.
It should be around 80 K or 100 K today because of Dollar revaluation [USD was 42 then and 48 now ] inflation and lowering export support by China government. It is better than 200 K fancy pieces offered by some dealers.
It is always better start with more Basic model, like starting to ride two wheeler with Luna or TVS 50 and then move to 100cc to 150cc Bikes. This model has lot in common with Hero Street motorcycle that was in our market earlier.
Semi Automatic available with 110 cc means engine braking available going downhill. CVT transmission normally coming as standard with bigger ATVs offer no such advantage. Novice rider with too much power at thumb tip is dangerous.
This 110cc ATV can be carried around in Maruti Omni with backseat removed and ATV handle bar lowered - taking it to workshop or to distant sand beach is pretty easy. I have done it few times. Bigger 150 cc machines will need more exclusive carrier. You have to load it to a tempo.
It is really unfortunate that traders want to push 150 cc and above ATVs to the people who hardly had any riding experience. Fancy websites with borrowed photographs and search engine pop-up advertising makes them easy to reach large number of people.
