About Us
Deepak Raj, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Hi! 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.

Saad Khan, Author
Hi, this is Saad Khan and am sure you must have read a few of my articles here on BikeAdvice. Some, you might have liked and some not so much..! I have been associated with BikeAdvice for more than a couple of years now and needless to say it has been a roller coaster ride for me. An avid biker at heart and into the world of softwares by the so-called profession, machines have been a part and parcel of my 24 years of existence on this planet.
Closely associated with motorcycles and every little trait of them, I enjoy writing and if it involves writing about machines, it turns into my passion. My tryst with automobiles started when one of my friends bought a Hero Puch when we were around 12 years of age. That very instant I turned a rebel at home demanding one for me as well. It doesn’t need any big mention that it was ruthlessly turned down and I was shown the door with a clear message “Shut up or Leave!”
After that I mellowed myself down but the resilience finally gave way after a couple of years with my next demand the mighty Yamaha RX 100 followed by the handsome LML Energy. No, I dint get either of them but the message this time was a little softer at “Tone down or Leave”! The biggest breakthrough of my biking life came in the form of the launch of Pulsar twins in 2001. My parents agreed to buy me (my brother, to be precise) the Pulsar 150 and a sparkling new black bike made into our home in June 2002, finally with a clear message from my brother “Don’t you dare touch it!” But creating ruckus for elder brothers is always easy, ain’t it!
Since then it has been me and my bike (I love to call it mine) who have shared all the better times of my life. To this date, I still have my Pulsar 150 Classic back at my hometown. In the meantime, I moved to Pune to join my job after finishing with my Engineering, where I was greeted by my brother’s owned Pulsar 150 DTSi UG2 which I recently sold off after buying my latest treasure, a Black Pulsar 220 DTSi which turned one, last month. Pune being a biking heaven allowed me very close brushes with some heavenly monstrous pieces of technology of the likes of Honda CBR600RR, CBR Fireblade, Yamaha YZF R1, Suzuki Hayabusa etc.
Among Indian bikes I love Yamaha RD 350, RX100 and YZF R15, Hero Honda CBZ, Karizma, Bajaj Classic Pulsars, Pulsar 220 to name a few. In the coming times, I plan to own a sub 600cc sports bike, preferably my favorite, Yamaha YZF R6 which I know ain’t happening very soon. Apart from automobiles, I am developing photography as my second preferred hobby. I have been a sportsperson all through my life and love playing outdoor games, Cricket being my favorite. I would also take this opportunity to be a preacher to all who have been resilient enough to read till now: “Always Ride Safe, Be sensible. It only takes a little senselessness to create havoc in one’s life”.

Mahavir Kothari, Author
Hi, This is Mahavir from Ahmedabad. I am associated with BikeAdvice team since September 2010. I came across BikeAdvice blog almost a year back when I was searching for a true motorcycle website, since then surfing BikeAdvice became my habit.
My first love with motorcycle started with the advent of Kawasaki Bajaj Eliminator. It was the first bike which created curiosity in me to know more about bikes. As the age barrier restricted me to ride motorcycle, I started reading automobiles magazines to know more about motorcycling world. In those days I used to spare my time at mechanic work shop to know inside of engine. I was so obsessed with motorcycling world that my friends gave me a nick name “Mr. Automobile”.
Beside automobile, finance and management are my other passions which inspired me to do my MBA, major in Finance. I am a keen learner and can easily say I come armed with a ‘never say die’ attitude. As a BikeAdvice team member, my aim is to make BikeAdvice a true platform for motorcycling world. Guys do join us. Cheers!!
M.Naren, Author
Hey chaps, I am Naren, an Automobile Engineer by my under-graduation. You would have observed few of my write-ups in the recent past and you can expect a lot more. I’m the most recent addition to the BikeAdvice team. I don’t know when exactly my interest for bikes grew within me. I’m trying to track it, but in vain. I belong to that little lucky lot of people who were able to be graduated in the field which means a lot to them.
Automobiles, especially bikes are my interest, passion, life and whatever you express it as. So, I know I am in the rightplace now. Ain’t I? The adage of my life is “LIVE TO RIDE AND TO DRIVE”, after all that is the source of sheer excitement and happiness for me. I am a biker for the past 6 years plus, with a great interest for both high-performing sport-bikes and touristers. I personally feel life is all about biking. MV Agusta and Yamaha are my favourite brands.
Currently, I’m pursuing MBA in International Business and if given a prospect, I would love to pursue a managerial career in the automobile sector. I do have a busy schedule (I wish), but whenever I’m free I prefer going for a long drive on my bike and check out new places. In short I’m a travel freak. Reading and analyzing about new bikes and cars is my all-time favourite leisure pursuit and review writing has always been my zeal.
I want your entire support in my new position and would be happy to be accepted by you. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I am Dhruv Panchal from Ahmedabad. Automobiles attracted me from my school days in each and every form; no matter it exists as scooters, bikes, mopeds, cars, buses, aeroplanes or helicopters. My first two wheeler which I used for much longer time was scooter “PRIYA” obviously donated my father. Then I switched over to BAJAJ BREVO and used for 8 months. After my 3rd semester, I tried to convince my father for HH CBZ, and it finally turned into SPLENDOR. Currently I am riding YAMAHA FAZER and enjoying each ride with it.
Professionally talking, I have completed my Masters in Automobile Engineering. I have also worked with four companies including General Motors, India. Write now I am enjoying spreading my knowledge about automobiles by working as an Assistant Professor. Do not get the wrong impression for me by my profession. I am still passionate about bikes and will remain forever.
Personally, I like all the sport bikes, HH, YAMAHA from Indian market and HD for cruisers. I believe in a quote “There is only one CONSTANT on the earth, and it is CHANGE”. So I always try to learn and grab the new things about bikes and cars. I am also a Member of SAE INDIA. I have guided 13 new projects for B.E. students related with automobiles. I have also guided my students twice for designing the ATV car in BAJA competition, held by SAE INDIA every year. I am here to converse with you people, because you are the guys from all over India and coming from different fields. So we will try to converse on each facts about bikes. Looking for a zoooommmmmm…….. journey………

Hello! Im Pranav Kelkar from Thane. I’m a Computer Engineering student and I was extremely interested in Automobiles from childhood. CBR Fireblade, R1 and DN-01 are my Dream Machines! I decided to reach people by choosing BikeAdvice to see if my passion could help others and Im glad that my choice was just perfect.
I am associated with BikeAdvice since March 2010 and I have never looked back since then ! I’m pretty sure that those who research on web before buying bikes in India, have BikeAdvice as an driving force to their decision. It was BikeAdvice which helped me to make choice: Honda Stunner CBF !

Sharat Aryan, Photographer
Hi friends, this is Sharat from Bangalore. Well as of now I am pursuing my under graduate which is getting over by April 2012. Have plans of doing my MBA once I am done with this.
Well telling about my interests, automobiles, photography, gadgets, machines and everything just attracts me. Just catches my eyes and drags me towards it. Well bikes and automobiles being the top contenders among them. My biking days started even before I could realise what an engine is. Those were the late 90s, when my dad used to ride his Scooter, Bajaj Super FE and I used to stand in front and fight with my dad for allowing me to operate the throttle. And not able to bare my torture, my dad used to allow me to do that a few times. Right from then, my interests on riding bikes never receded. It was in 2004 when I started to learn to ride bike from a very enthusiastic rider, none other than my dad. It was the wave of Bajaj Pulsar all over the nation and so was the case with us too. It was the Pulsar 180 DTS-I with the spoke wheels and beasty engine, from which I started to ride the bike. Since then, I have never turned back, my interest over bikes and automobiles kept on increasing every single day.
And coming to Bike Advice, it was in the late 2010, when we felt the necessity of another vehicle. That is when I came across this blog, which helped me a lot to understand more about bikes and all the other concepts about bike riding. Today I am a pride rider of a CBR250R, which is a dream come true for a biker like me, who always dreamt of riding a beasty machine.
Opps! I forgot to mention that most of the skills which I possess today are inherited from my father. Let it be bikes or the cameras. As my dad was a part time professional photographer and of course had an SLR camera, in those days. It became easy for me to learn more about photography and the elements associated with it. Now I have a Cannon 550D, which I feel is worth to every penny, the way it captures images.
Well this is about me guys. I hope you guys will like my photos and contribution to Bike Advice. Your suggestions and feedbacks are always welcome.
Devinder Singh Bagga, Special Correspondent
Hello everyone, It ain’t crazy, if you call me a “CLICK CLICK HOLIC” or a crazy amateur photographer or whatever in those fanatical lines.
I am super obsessed with photography, capturing moments (which is an absolute blend of my observance, reality and the flight & profundity of Imagination), Camera thinking to the zero, observing human psychology, imagination to the unimaginable, body language, sarcasms, philosophy and beyond…
I am a passionate bike rider, very crazy about cars…I simply love to play with my camera with different types of vehicle being my subject of photography. I am also a former District Cricket Player. An earnest learner, food lover, lost traveller, innocent bystander….hope monger, a perverted saint a hopefulI pessimist, a spiritual atheist… a slave of freedom… I swear, I hate sleeping, because I can’t dream when asleep, I dream with eyes open.
I am surfing Bikeadvice.in since long and every time I used think even I should associate with such a wonderful website….so guys henceforth I will be clicking pictures for it.
About my schedule – I fantasise about Camera, speeding machines and life along with them – 24 hours. Its an absolute paranoia!! And perhaps an excerpt from my ode: There is always oceans to discover about the “Living and Me”, If you think only the “Living” can discover, then help me search myself and if not then I have SURRENDERED!!!

Excellent work Deepak.
Got great help about review of bikes , also a good place to put our opinions and reviews.
Hats off…
pulser is best becase it has a good handeling
correct ur spelling 1st then say abt best or worst..pulasr=scooter
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).
Hey Deepak,
It is very nice.

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.

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
Hi Joy,
Yes, you can remodel the Yezdi 250 Classic into a cruiser bike to look like the Bajaj Avenger but I don’t think its a good idea to make it a performance bike. There will a certain amount of modifications as Yezdi has twin exhausts so you wil have to choose the exhaust from the offmarket available. The price will vary according to the looks you wish to render to it, like a full chrome plating or just some scoops of it & rest goes the Matt finish paint as in case of Harley V-Rod. All the best & do send the pics when your bike is ready to GO!!!
hey good job….!

Hi Deepak,
It is very very helpful website to compare bikes, read reviews, to give reviews, tips for a biker, tips to maintain good condition of bike. Good website design.
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???
I just had quick check on all stuffs present on this site. It has concise information about every bike available in India. Knowledgebase is just awesome.
I really admire efforts taken by Mr. Deepak. Wish you earn more and more revenue from google ads
i have a hero honda ambition bike, is it possible to replace the cylinder assembly with that of cbz xtreme or any other similir 150 cc bike without extensive modifications.if yes, what will be the effect of the mods and do i have to do any other modifications to take care of the higher power. pl advise.

words are not enough for me to thank and appreciate you….great…fantastic…..keep going…am a regular visitor(daily)……once again thanks a lot
Nice job you guys….
Just the information we need and not the junk thats been spread across many other websites….
I like speeding bikes to their limits and would like to share some of my own experiences and tips for reaching top speeds, but I lack “Bike Vocabulary”, so it would be helpful if you guys just make a post on “Parts of bikes” with some explanatory images/figures, it will even help understanding our bike better and we would be able to gain more from rest of your precious posts….
Well, wanted to know how do we join different biking groups like say mumbai bikers Club etc.. because the thing is that everyone doesn’t have biker friends who are ready to go miles and miles on a bike,, that too just for pleasure of it or any reasons.. so it gets little annoying as its always safe to have some ppl with you in other bikes but just for safety/security reasons
I am quite interested in touring as we anyway don’t have any roads or any place within the cities, and I’m a rider and a racer.. would love to go on long trips.
But you do need a lot of things and most of all experience — trip experience always helps
Hi, i would like to say few suggestions. Your blog can also include bikes maintenance,servicing,warranty,insurance,etc.,details. Publishing customised bikes photos (alteration bikes).Technical details of bike racing. Publishing photos of indian bike racers,interviews.Conduct some awareness program about road safety among students etc,
Iam looking to buying a 150 cc bike and am confused between fz 16 and dazzler ..i want a good looking ,light weight ,performance bike and mileage is not a problem…which bike should i go for??
iam planning to buy the fz 16 but have read here in bike advice that its pick up is not good after 60 km ….what are ur thoughts on this ??is this bike suitable only for city riding and not for highways??by the way how where do u keep any things you want to store in this bike ??there is no storage space??can we fit any accessories in this bike?? by the way is this bike light weight??is this bike the value for money??
Hi deepak, pl suggest me highlighted and light-weighted two wheeler. am girl and my height is 4.5
Hi,
For your height, I feel Scooty is preferable as others like Activa, etc have a broader seat which means its tough to reach the ground & also are heavier than Scooty.

Hi Deepak,
Thank you for your sharp idea about bringing down doubts in bike world by letting your personal quest benefit for people who love bikes and are confused. I always searched such blog but mostly found company’s advertisement blogs that chatters about their own products trying to convince us by hook or crook. Here reviews do it all, and all doubts corrodes giving glimpse of do’s and don’t when it comes to two wheels. This site is the need of the hour in this turbulent time of bike companies competing in India and in the mind of the young bike lovers especially.
I want to suggest every one at least once to visit this blog before buying a bike or after buying one. Please keep it up! and congrats to all the people who make this blog rolling.
Thanks
Keeps me motivated. Priceless comments.
Hi Deepak,
Iam following your website for couple of months. Really you r doing a great NGO like of activity. Keep going. May god bless you.
Could you please suggest me whether it’s worthful to wait for the launch of CBR250r or can buy Karizma ZMR ? Iam looking for a bike with higher power & long term investment. Previously I owned Hero Honda Achiever which I sold 2 years back. Please suggest.
Wait for CBR250R. Bookings have started already. Go and book one now
Why there is no comments on Yamaha SZ-R…We are looking new pics and performance of the bike…

Hi Deepak,
I am vijaya kumar with hearing impaired, originally from Salem. I am currently working in bangalore. I always thank u so much for updating me about bikes everything as I am planning to buy a new bike for me in bangalore, looking for the good mileage and BHP and RPM. I am still confusing to buy Honda Activa or Honda Unicorn. Pls suggest me.
Looking forward to ur reply, as always.
Regards

Hello Vijay,
The Vehicles you mentioned are different from each other.
Honda Activa which is a gear less scooter
Honda unicorn which is a gear bike
Both are very good vehicles.
If you happen to travel in very busy roads and if you are just a commuter from office to home, then pick the Activa.
If you are a touring freak and no problem with busy roads… unicorn is fine
Unicorn is one of the most demanding bikes in India…Hence the waiting period will be more than 2 months ( my prediction). This is the same case with Activa too

Deepak,
I bought my GS 150R after reading encouraging articles from bike advice.But what i felt is there are comparatively less reviews of Suzuki GS150R. We are waiting for your detailed review on Suzuki GS 150R. When can we expect that ??

Hello deepak & everybody,
I am new here,near to karaikudi in tamilnadu, diploma in auto.engg.,worked as manager in tvs and herohonda subdealers. Why can’t we create a group of people who can share our bikes
when we are away from home, with some proper regulations. Is this not a way to bring people
together as we are all indians.
This small cooperation may lead to a great vision……..thinkover…………thanks…….deva.
Hi Deepak,

Hello Deepak,
Nice website. But I’ll recommend to review the reviews by users before posting it. Many description in review were kind of intangible..like for Apache RTR 160 Hyper-edge, mileage 77kmpl..is that feasible ?

Chandan
Great Job Deepak. I am watching you grow.

hi deepak,
i am planning to buy a bajaj avenger.can you help me out by giving your personal view on the bike …?
Hi Deepak,
I appreciate your progress.
I ride about 20 to 30 kms per day for 5 days a week within city traffic and weekends I used to go on trips including off road for about 200 kms with a pillioner (mostly my aged father). Kindly suggest a bike which is best at comfort and safety – seating, suspension, handling, ride, brake etc. To put in simple I need to own a daily commuter-cum-tourer.
Kindly compare Suzuki GS 150R, Karizma ZMR, Classic 500 (Desert Strom), CBR 250 and Hero Impulse with their power, torque, fuel efficiency, comfort, safety, price and value for money.
Rgds.

Excellent service the bikers and ‘bikiers’. I purchased Yamaha SZ-X last week in Madurai. The employee of this dealer was talking contradictory, he was telling that this is 2012 model; how to confirm it whether 2011 or 2012. Do you have any mechanisms? The chasis/engine no. of the bike is:ME11PM011C2001134. I emailed to the backoffice of Yamaha, there is no response. Please help me out.
hi deepak can u please tell me pulsar 180 can withstand how many kgs.
Hi Admin,
I stay in Hyderabad. I planning for a new bike. My requirements are:
1. Very good comfort for long rides (My daily commutation is around 80 KM which is both in City and Highway. Time that I spent on road is around 3 hours.)
2. Good pickup (I generally travel at 60 KMPH. Not too much worried about top end. I would not cross 90 KMPH)
3. Good looks
4. Engine reliability (Not too much worried about fuel efficiency. 40+ KMPL would be fine).
I am confused whether I should go for 150 CC or higher capacity bikes.
Among 150 CC bikes I have shortlisted Yamaha SZR and Honda Unicorn. Also considering CBZ Extreme and Hunk. I am slightly biased towards SZR.
Among higher capacity bikes I am considering Karizma R and Bullet classic 350.
Please let me know your opinion after looking at my requirements.
Thanks,
Sasikiran
Hi Deepak,
I have purchased a Unicoen Dazzler a year ago, But its troubling very much in Engine Noise section and Battery Drain Out problem (as it doesnt have the kicker). I am fed up with complaining the same to service center. Is there any better way to reach out for my griviences.
Kindly mail me if you have suggestion.
Regards,
Harsha Hegde
will you pls tell me from where i can buy an yamaha RD350?
Hi All,
I recently bought a Karizma ZEEMR. I have no complaints about the bike. On the contrary, I love all my rides on this bike, mainly because of the seating posture for long distance riding. So far the mileage is good about 40km/lt.
However, what I am interested in is to install ABS on my bike and was wondering if there was any one who could enlighten me about its availability in India, the cost and if it would be to complicated to install.
lso any input regarding use of Nitrogen in the tires and it’s benefits, if any, over normal compressed air.
Regards and looking forward to hearing from someone or anyone
