Hey #PDArmy, what's going to be your first big bike? Remember to hit that Like button if you want to see more of such podcasts! Here's Shumi answering more questions about big bikes: instagram.com/p/CAzfLZonII2/
The fact that Shumi explained it so well using his personal experiences That's what I call quality content That is some real life figures and facts Thanks Powerdrift for this
Getting a small displacement bike like Duke 390 or R3 is actually more fun to ride and someone can live with it for more years, rather than just stretching your budget and getting the most affordable superbike like the Benelli 600i or Hyosung 650. What I mean to say is that some people only buy bikes for just sound and looks, they just don't look at other things like their own ride experience and maintenance costs. These kind of people can never remain satisfied with a particular bike for a long period of time.
@SAHIL VERSE But actually I talked about Hyosung and Benelli, whose reliability and brand image sucks.Except sound, the 600i and Hyosung 650 has nothing else to offer that a rider can enjoy for long period of time.
@@saisaiannepu Actually both these bikes aren't the perfect upgrade from 390. Bro wait and go for something more powerful and more fun to ride like Z900 or Street Triple
@@saisaiannepu Who on Earth upgrades from 390 to Ninja 300. And about Z650, you won't find that big difference in power, acceleration between Z650 and 390
@@powerdriftofficial your welcome and keep sharing such insight and highlighting such issues to be a better petrol head. And a wise individual to be financially free.
Im not an Indian national but I watch Power Drift. Your content is real and spot on. We dont have this kind of youtube channel in my country. Love from the Philippines PS. Praying for Ladakh hope the Indian government would come up of something to de escalate the situation there. Peace out brothers in two wheels
Extremely, extremely well put allll around!!! I can see the sheer love for motorcycles in his eyes and listen it in his voice... The experience speaks very well.. Thank you PowerDrift ❤️
Thank you for giving us aspirations and guides for making our big bike dreams a reality. You Sir are a legend for confirming that we can indeed use a big bike as the daily driver!!!
That anology is not true brother, Don't apply that to your life. If you truly desire something, you will work hard for it and accomplish your dream anyhow. I can afford only one benelli tnt 300, so I got it although it took three years of hard work and payments but I made it.
I hate long videos!! But I tell you, this guy holds you attention so well!!!!! Perfect voice modulation, prefect content and at times the right amount of humor...
This is one of the most amazing way someone has covered a topic with so much details and understanding.... He's on point with all the problems you face with big bikes and the solutions are nearly perfect.....
When Shumi speaks about bikes, you better listen carefully. Loads of knowledge and useful tips on this fantastic podcast. Brilliantly explained. Thanks PD!
I never watch a video more than 10 min on YT, I hovered on thumbnail n saw Shumi and I just watched my first 24min video on YT. The credibility which Shumi brings with his experience is amazing. Excellent Excellent Way of explaining the different aspects associated with a big bike. M up for more..Now looking for other 9 seasons of Podcast...
Beautifully explained Shumi, not just the technical but financial and decision making too. It can’t get better than this. Am your FAN from now onwards.
To all of those who came here only for "how much money" part... Guys there's a whole lot of sensible information. Don't skip any part.. worth watching till the end 😊
ONE FINE DAY.....!!! When I buy my big bike, I will come back and watch this video to relive my first big bike tutorial. Powerdrift not only rocks but also educates. Kudos to Team Powerdrift 😎😊😎
It used to be the same with the rest of us, back in the days when we used to go to office :D Hope you are able to implement this and land your dream bike soon :)
It's been a year i got more passionate about riding. And honestly the among of knowledge i got from shumi sir is worth while, I'm just thankful and i would love to see a video on shumi's duke 390 (about what all mods he made and more) Lastly thanks to powerdrift channel too.
Have been watching bike related videos for ages. Haven't come across such a sorted out and de facto explanation of the entire bike owning experience! Video saved for later and shared across as well. Thank you Shumi and PD (y).
Thanks Shumi, awesome content. Really insightful and guidance on the right path to achieve this goal. Was really astonished to know that you don't own a car. Have been following you from quite sometime including the similar article you had written for overdrive. But this content is straight from the heart and delivered from the right mind. Would be great if you can make a part two of this video on the types of big bikes one can buy. A series of 4-5 videos would be great
This has to be the best video on 'How to buy your first big bike' on the internet. More information than just financial figures. Shumi's experience just adds to the value of the episode ❤
U guys r great. I'm really thankful to you. Every video you uploads bring me 1 step close to my dreams of owning maintaining a bike. Today's hack is really helpful. Thanks again.
I'm watching it for the 3rd time since this video got published. Each and every word is resonating in my head. What a brilliant guy shumi is. Every sentence is so much concentrated with the knowledge and information. Watching his videos is kinda meditation to me. I watch the videos while cooking, commuting to work etc. Thank you shumi for existing !!
This is the first video that actually made sense to me and will help me in making the big decision of buying a big bike. Thanks a lot Team PowerDrift you seriously make great content❤️
A perfect video for first timers buying big bikes. Thanks for this great informational video. Definite points to keep in mind while to buy a big bike...thanks 😊
First of all, thank you Shumi for taking your time out and being one of a kind moto journalist who stays blunt whilst ensuring a crystal clear message is passed. Secondly, thank you for mentioning the name Hayabusa, as you said and as we know every Indian seems to want it as their first big bike, after moving to it from an Activa. So thank you for addressing that issue. Thirdly, thanks for giving clarity to the "Method for Madness" .......
Amazing clarity in this podcast.. thanks Shumi. Really useful for those of us thinking of a big bike. The one thing which I think we also need to consider is most of these bikes are imported and therefore if someone has even a minor accident, one has to wait for parts to be available with a dealer. The waiting period could differ from one manufacturer to another.
After I guess more than a year I found one PD video which is watched till the end and it kept me engaged. Wonderfully narrated Schumi and I think we all can connect to your thought in one way or another. I hope PD keeps coming up with more insights and true rider experiences shared like this one. Good Luck !
I really enjoyed this video even though i am not planning to buy a supper bike or even a regular bike I am crazy on bike & love to know about them.. this video is different from most of the others & i loved it Excellent job PowerDrift
Thanks for such a detailed video. I didn't know there were so many factors to consider before buying a big bike. Thanks to you Shumi and Cheers to the PD team
Wow this is what I experienced when I bought my Benelli it was a 300 bit it made me realise I wasn't ready. Shumi you are fab I love each of the podcast and the amount of information that I get is mind blowing I learnt a lot from the pod cast hope the learning continues
Can't agree more, Shumi! When I walked into the Triumph showroom, honestly I never knew that I'd buy one -- I just assumed it's not possible. And I went to see the friend who was the manager at the showroom and he talked me into buying the Street Triple because he knew the weak point of a motorcyclist. With an average salary of a UI designer, I just managed to get a loan and selling my existing KTM 390 that I thought I would keep forever. The point is, it was difficult but if you can manage your finances well, cut down unnecessary expenses for some time, you can definitely buy a bigger motorcycle. The maintenance/insurance is definitely a major concern but again it depends on you how much you ride -- the more you ride, the more will be the recurring expenses. Always calculate how much you can invest and then decide the motorcycle that you would be happy to settle with.
This unlocks a whole new level of my chase for my dream bikes. . .❤️😍 Shumi🙌 I think no one explain it better than you. . Thanks man ❤️ Thanks Powerdrift❤️ #PDArmy
All i can say is Thanks A Lot for all information, you guys have covered many questions in my mind even though i was thinking of jumping from 125 to a quarter litre bike. Now i can with confidence.🙏
I wish I saw this video before buying my CB300R. Currently living with this mistake of mine for god knows how long. It is only half a year old and I desire to sell it so I can actually purchase the bike that my heart craves for and not the one (CB300R) my friends and online reviews suggested. Learn from me folks. Go for the costlier service and lower fuel economy if you can afford to, but never compromise on what puts a huge smile like that of a child on your face! I would like to request @powerdriftofficial to help me with the strangest topic of all time, 'how to sell you bike while getting the best price out of it' LOL :'(
This is the video that I had been waiting for a long time... This video cleared all my confusions about buying a big bike Detailed and nicely explained video Thank you Power Drift👍 Awesome PD❤️
Wow schumi just knocked one out of the park in this vdo. Such a perfect primer for any aspiring bigbiker. This is top notch quality content by PD. Hell ya they never disappoint. Love you guys. Keep rocking 😊
Thank you very much sir. This is what exactly I did to shift from my hero honda passion, my 1st bike to royal Enfield 2nd bike. I test drove Enfield in the year 2010 when it has no self/ disks. I thought I can effort it at that time at 1.28 lach ex showroom hyd. But after test riding it I dicided it was way ahead of my passion and needs at that time. And I continued with my passion bike (2008 owned). Recently in 2019 April I figured my riding needs and decided to have a change and after crossing all options I have in bikes & activas i brought Royal Enfield sand Strom 350cc which is my passioned and we'll needed one at the time almost after 9 & 1/2 years after I test rode the bullet. Now it's 2.08 Lac on road and with dual disks and abs & self start. Now I am loving the ride with my heart as you said sir. It happened un knowingly and I figured it out after watching your vedio that it's the right way of upgrading from I bike to another. Sure I will follow the same for upgrading to a super bike. 👍
hey sumi this is the best ever video i have seen the insights were enlightening..... love you bro for those talks from the experience and heart ... i would love to connect with you ... i am a small time rider from kolkata .. who also dreams of big bike experience currently i am riding a gixxer 150 and have almost traversed the country with it with my spouse from gurudongmar to kochi .... it was tough but i kept on pushing my envelope ... Sumi i would love to ride with you some day .. i usually have never ridden with a group .. me n my spouse we both do most of our touring... powerdrift is the reason i started touring a long back ... now i am thinking of upgrading to a dominar 400 plz give your views .... it would be really helpful ... bcz now i plan on doing a india to siberia .. n i dont have any knowledge about it ... well i have never ridden outside india ... can you help us out ...
Hey comrade, happy to hear your story. The Dominar is a good bike to upgrade to. About riding internationally, it takes a lot of preparations. Almost a year or so. You need to ready a lot of documents. We would suggest you check out touring forums - many experienced riders have put out their travellogues and other necessary info.
This what we want! Awesome content! ♥️ My big bike will be an ADV. Triumph Tiger is kinda disturbing my sleep for the past 2 years! Thank you so much for this video. #PDArmyforlife
Always a pleasure to listen to Shumi, eventhough you don't want to buy a big bike you will just love the clarity of thought and communication displayed by Shumi
Hi Shumi you’re too good man. You gave a very big picture in a small nut shell. PD and Shumi keep making such videos like these. You guys really help the biker community and also will help newer people get into biking in a much clear and calculated approach. keep it up guys👍
This video made me cry :'( The emotions Shumi describes with owning big bikes is bang on! Blessed enough to own a few big ones myself :) and yes, nothing else can make you feel the way a bike does.
@@shu_mar Thank you! for making these videos. Yes! I had already forwarded this to my friends who too wanted to buy big bikes but were sceptical about it. Also just subscribed, dint know you had a personnel channel.
I was planning for almost a year to figure out what can be my first bike and was still undecided unable to find that special one. Just when I was lost, like falling in love saw this bike on road in a beautiful setting and I was like.. why haven't I checked it out. It just took one test ride to made me realise this is the one. Still enjoying my RR310 today. It is indeed true that your dream bike is more a decision of the heart than a mere convenience. Thanks Shumi for sharing your experience!

It's hard to find out a girl like this. Because two queens are not able to stay in touch with you.
Bike then Wife is the chronology
Be a man! You don't need a rich wife to big bike! You would be riding your wife's bike then.

I am confused i have 390. All ready. Need to update whether go for 650z or 300ninza
@SAHIL VERSE But actually I talked about Hyosung and Benelli, whose reliability and brand image sucks.Except sound, the 600i and Hyosung 650 has nothing else to offer that a rider can enjoy for long period of time.

@SAHIL VERSE Only after taming a 200 or 250cc bike, someone should jump on a 390, here in India.But in abroad its considered as a beginner bike.

Those are some really kind words, mate. It's a different kind of joy knowing that we could be of your help. Thank you for your support :)
Lovely.. it’s about how your mind acts against an arriving danger.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Word! Ride safe :)
I wish I saw this video before buying my CB300R. Currently living with this mistake of mine for god knows how long. It is only half a year old and I desire to sell it so I can actually purchase the bike that my heart craves for and not the one (CB300R) my friends and online reviews suggested. Learn from me folks. Go for the costlier service and lower fuel economy if you can afford to, but never compromise on what puts a huge smile like that of a child on your face!
I would like to request @powerdriftofficial to help me with the strangest topic of all time, 'how to sell you bike while getting the best price out of it' LOL :'(
This is the video that I had been waiting for a long time...
This video cleared all my confusions about buying a big bike
Detailed and nicely explained video
Thank you Power Drift👍
Awesome PD❤️
Happy to help, always! Now awaiting your big bike photos! ;)
@@powerdriftofficial yeah definitely 🤗
Wow schumi just knocked one out of the park in this vdo. Such a perfect primer for any aspiring bigbiker. This is top notch quality content by PD. Hell ya they never disappoint. Love you guys. Keep rocking 😊
Thank you!
Thank you very much sir. This is what exactly I did to shift from my hero honda passion, my 1st bike to royal Enfield 2nd bike. I test drove Enfield in the year 2010 when it has no self/ disks. I thought I can effort it at that time at 1.28 lach ex showroom hyd. But after test riding it I dicided it was way ahead of my passion and needs at that time. And I continued with my passion bike (2008 owned). Recently in 2019 April I figured my riding needs and decided to have a change and after crossing all options I have in bikes & activas i brought Royal Enfield sand Strom 350cc which is my passioned and we'll needed one at the time almost after 9 & 1/2 years after I test rode the bullet. Now it's 2.08 Lac on road and with dual disks and abs & self start. Now I am loving the ride with my heart as you said sir. It happened un knowingly and I figured it out after watching your vedio that it's the right way of upgrading from I bike to another. Sure I will follow the same for upgrading to a super bike.
👍
hey sumi this is the best ever video i have seen the insights were enlightening..... love you bro for those talks from the experience and heart ... i would love to connect with you ... i am a small time rider from kolkata .. who also dreams of big bike experience currently i am riding a gixxer 150 and have almost traversed the country with it with my spouse from gurudongmar to kochi .... it was tough but i kept on pushing my envelope ... Sumi i would love to ride with you some day .. i usually have never ridden with a group .. me n my spouse we both do most of our touring... powerdrift is the reason i started touring a long back ... now i am thinking of upgrading to a dominar 400 plz give your views .... it would be really helpful ... bcz now i plan on doing a india to siberia .. n i dont have any knowledge about it ... well i have never ridden outside india ... can you help us out ...
Hey comrade, happy to hear your story. The Dominar is a good bike to upgrade to.
About riding internationally, it takes a lot of preparations. Almost a year or so. You need to ready a lot of documents. We would suggest you check out touring forums - many experienced riders have put out their travellogues and other necessary info.
This what we want! Awesome content! ♥️ My big bike will be an ADV. Triumph Tiger is kinda disturbing my sleep for the past 2 years! Thank you so much for this video. #PDArmyforlife
We're glad that you found helpful, and we hope that it motivates you to go for your own dream big bike :)
Always a pleasure to listen to Shumi, eventhough you don't want to buy a big bike you will just love the clarity of thought and communication displayed by Shumi
Thank you for the kind words Uday, glad you liked it :)
Thanks man...I mean we see dreams about big bikes but don't know how to mentain them .....thanks for not letting us go broke so easy!
Thank you for watching! So happy it helps!
Love powerdrift ❤❤
Much love, Jai!
Thanks Jai!
Even before watching these videos why people dislike 😡 . Feel bad for #PDArmy
Hi Shumi you’re too good man.
You gave a very big picture in a small nut shell.
PD and Shumi keep making such videos like these.
You guys really help the biker community and also will help newer people get into biking in a much clear and calculated approach.
keep it up guys👍
This video made me cry :'( The emotions Shumi describes with owning big bikes is bang on! Blessed enough to own a few big ones myself :) and yes, nothing else can make you feel the way a bike does.
Very informative video, answered all my queries.
Thank you! Glad it helps! Would you tell your friends about it? Maybe it will help them too!
@@shu_mar Thank you! for making these videos.
Yes! I had already forwarded this to my friends who too wanted to buy big bikes but were sceptical about it.
Also just subscribed, dint know you had a personnel channel.
Amateur PetrolHead excellent. I didn’t either. I don’t think there’s any content there 🤣🤣🤣
LOVED IT ❤️🔥👌🏻
Thank you, Harish!
Awesome video Shumi. Listening to your wisdom is such a pleasant experience. You’re a hero!
Wow..24 min vid without an adv..just Exuisite.. Thanks Shumi for the wonderful insight and simple layman language 👌🏻👏🏻
You're welcome, Jerson!

I was planning for almost a year to figure out what can be my first bike and was still undecided unable to find that special one. Just when I was lost, like falling in love saw this bike on road in a beautiful setting and I was like.. why haven't I checked it out. It just took one test ride to made me realise this is the one. Still enjoying my RR310 today. It is indeed true that your dream bike is more a decision of the heart than a mere convenience. Thanks Shumi for sharing your experience!
Thank You, Sir
one of the best podcast and best suggestions for buying a new or first big bike.
If you see my heart, Triumph street triple RS is written there ♥️♥️♥️
Awwwww! I dearly hope and pray that you can get one soon!
