It is sometimes easier to get criticized while a major chunk around us is in favor of something that we would disagree at. I recently bought a used second-hand bike and I did not want to use almost one lakh Indian Rupee to buy something that I may get bored from in almost an year. Another reason to not buy a firsthand vehicle is that it is very indecisive to choose a bike for driving on the basis of test-ride of the bike in a clear road till a very short distance of few blocks and this test ride would not last for more than a few minutes. Indeed , before buying a bike it is sensible to drive in the city traffic , signals, humps, breakers that could make us more capable to decide if the bike is suitable for us , though such a test ride is hypothetical for both used or brand new bike but wait a minute .... if I am dissatisfied after a certain time with the posture I ride the bike or maybe discomfort to pillion rider then I can definitely sell the same vehicle after short time by having loss at the minimal .
Having narrated my views and justifications in buying the one I bought I could not convince my father actually and also the crowd or friends around me. Actually apart from the obvious benefits that I wrote already, I love to transition like tomorrow I would want a cruiser style bike rather than present sports bike that keeps me excited to drive/ride on roads otherwise I would feel riding on the roads for a long time turns an extremely exhausting and boring routine.

We can't please everyone. But if it's a decision taken after good thinking you should not regret. Moreover it's your money and you are not answerable to anyone. When it comes to someone close like father, I know it must not be a good feeling when he doesn't support you. But even our closest and dear ones can have a totally different opinion.

There is no harm in buying a second hand vehicle if it is in a goood condition

You wouldn't buy it if you didn't like it. You can also sell it for the same reason because you no longer like it.
