You can restore and use it for the next 5 years while saving money to buy a new motorcycle 5 years down the line. As a torque fanatic I love the low end torque delivery in the CBZ. Also all the switchgears are still original and are in working condition. Cycle parts are amazing as I have witnessed little to no rust on the OEM wheel rims, handlebars, etc. It has CDI ignition that enables it to start with low/dead battery. From what I have experienced seeing and riding my family members' CBZ, the motorcycle is very reliable and can last really long. I believe CBZ was the first 150cc (technically it was 156cc) motorcycle offered in India before Pulsar happened. I ride that bike whenever I get an opportunity and vouch by the 156cc Honda engine that beats like there's no tomorrow. He got it painted and restored and it passed the RTO fitness test. One of my family members has a similar 2001 Red CBZ. OEM parts availability can be an issue, especially plastic parts but you can always hunt for non-OEM aftermarket parts (Delhi made). Also try and get the paper work done by yourself at the RTO as it will save you some money, this is considering you have time and patience to do so. I would suggest you to get it restored if you want to keep it for the next 5 years. As you haven't mentioned about the front and rear suspension I assume they are in good condition. If your daily running is around 50kms then I would suggest getting an engine compression test done as old motorcycles lose compression overtime. If so, then I assume the mechanicals and electricals of your CBZ are in good condition. Hello mate, I see that apart from cosmetic issues (paint fading and plastics deteriorating) you haven't mentioned anything about mechanical or electrical issues with the bike. I have the following dilemmas for my 2001 CBZ. Option 3 - Sell the bike to someone, asking him to get the documentation done and buy a new bike in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 lakhs. Option 2 - Scrap the bike (the heart doesnt agree to this) and buy a new bike in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 lakhs. Any recommended garages in Kalyan and around Kalyan? Bike Restoration - 20000? I have no expertise in this, need experts to help me with this please.Renovate the bike? I think the total costs are Option 1 - Should I get the documentation done to make the bike completely road legal.

The bike has less than 5000 kms run Michelin Tyres.The bike is in running condition and starts within 5-6 kicks (the good old simple mechanical days).The engine / chassis / plastic cowl / and a few other parts have deteriorated from the looks perspective (rusting etc).
