About Me

My name is Deepak and I started BikeAdvice.in by August 2008. Back in 2005, When I bought my first bike, there were no websites in India which had detailed information about the bikes sold in the Indian market. Once when I was browsing through YouTube, I noticed that a TV commercial for Bajaj Pulsar (an Indian bike) had more than 1 lakh views. I suddenly realized that people are so hungry for information about bikes, but no one is satisfying that need. I decided to become a motorcycle blogger, and as they say, the rest is history.

Another milestone in my blogging journey was by September 2009 when I was invited to a Chinese Motorcycle Trade exhibition to cover the event as a journalist. The trip was sponsored by the Chinese governmet and it was a once in a lifetime, unforgettable experience. You can read more about my China trip here.

I used to write all the articles myself, but I knew my dear readers expected more from BikeAdvice. Now we have really passionate motorcycle bloggers working for us on a freelance basis. They cover different topics including motorcycle news, maintenance of bikes, full blown test ride reports, questions and answers etc.

    Hi Deepak,

    You are doing a great job. I feel this blog is one of the best available on bikes.
    I mean there are a lot of sites, but the bike related information required for the Indian roads is perfect on you site. I was really overwhelmed by your site, the information and guidance available on it.

    I am myself a bike lover, a passionate lover in fact. I just adore and worship my bike.

    Regards,

    Guru

  19. Anondomoy Banerjee on December 10, 2009 at 6:43 pm

    Like all mens are different, they may be categorised into groups, so are bikes. Different bikes are projected to different type, nature, …..zeal… of particular taste of people. Some other factors should be kept in mind while deciding a make, a particular machine, like location or area of one, age, physical strength (also height & weight), nature of purpose to be served.
    For keeping your bike, may be of any make, change of engine oil after every 1100-1200 kms is a very crucial factor. The engine oil should match the category as per the mannual of your loved machine (I mean your bike).

    Your site is very cool…. I have 100cc and a 135cc bike and plans to pickup a YAMAHA R15…. the new WHITE COLOUR…. I’m 33, married & living in chennai

    Is Bullet a better option, though it is a different segment?

    this stuff is great.. good going Deepak

  28. Rathish on February 1, 2010 at 1:51 pm

    Hai Deepak, try to include articles on bike modifications especially in performance segment as there is no web site explaining the details in regard to performance standards like fitting K&N filter, clip-on handle bars, spark plugs, etc etc. It would surely add to needs of bike crazy peoples.

  29. Deepak on February 1, 2010 at 4:08 pm

    I am constantly in search for talented professionals who can write articles in these topics. Help me if you can!

  45. Joy Deep Ghosh on May 21, 2010 at 1:15 pm

    Hi Deepak,
    I am a avid bike fan. Though I was not in touch with technology, till very recently. Thats the reason I was not aware of your site. Today as I was searching through the net I found your informative site and was thrilled to find so many of my queries answered. Thanks again for this marvellous effort.
    I would further like to enquire whether a yezdi 250 classic could be re-modelled as a cruiser/performance bike ? Which will be better and how ? I want to change everything, except the engine and the fuel tank(Its a Java Tank). Pls. give me some suggestions with approx costing involved in the same. I will get the job done in Kolkata.
    Awaiting your answer.
    Thanks & regards,

    Joy

  62. Jayakumar on August 28, 2010 at 11:36 am

    I am little bit confused whether I can go for Pulsar 150 cc or the CB Unicorn. I also think of CBZ Xtreme & GS150R also but all says it is not as good as the old CBZ. Also I discarded FZ as it gives only 40-45 KMPL. TVS Apache is full of vibrations. So please advise which bike should I buy now.
    PULSAR 150cc or CB UNICORN or CBZ Xtreme???
