It has been nearly six months since I started this blog. I have covered almost all the bike reviews and always keeping up with the latest news in the biking industry. I hope you are enjoying the content and the interaction with other readers of BikeAdvice via the blog commenting feature. I am always thinking of how I can improve the blog, this time I have stopped thinking and am looking for your comments.
I just was to ask you straight away -
- What can I do to improve your reading experience?
- Is there something missing so far?
- And what is your favourite part about this blog?
Do you know why I came up with this post? I was in a mindset that people would not take their time and give me free advice for improving my site. But just to give it a try, I emailed 8 people who were regular readers of BikeAdvice and to my astonishment, 6 of them gave big detailed points for improvement, one of them gave me a small suggestion and the other one told me he will give suggestions within a week.
Now I realized that people are really enthusiastic on giving free advice and it doesn’t hurt to ask. So, I am eagerly waiting for your comments. – Deepak

Hey Deepak…. Firstly, three cheers to you for starting such a great and informative blog. It has been of great help to me in choosing my bike, maintaining it well and getting the maximum out of it. Really very helpful to interact with the other bike owners and experienced peoples’ suggestions and comments. Continue the great job…. All the best
As for the improvement part, theres not much more to ask for, coz almost all the queries are answered in your comments. The bike review database may be increased a little more and a little more info even about the low-end bikes of different companies and their comparisons…. Coz most of them make their buying decisions here and would love to know more about the bikes as it would help them to make the right decision.
the older layout was good.
you have covered every bikes thats excellet..
it would be good if you can cover some future launching bikes also.
you can post some spy shots of bikes and many other too.
Discussion forum will be good.
an area in which users can able to post their bike’s photos.
and much more goodies will keep your site to get lots of hits daily
Hi…
First of all, thanks for starting and maintaining this blog.
Your blog really rocks!! Unlike other websites publishing automobile reviews and news, while reading your RSS feed in my Google Reader, I can directly read the entire contents, images and comments in my Reader itself. Whereas I need to open the link and get redirected to their website for others.
Since more people began using Feed Readers to read blogs, you need not be concerned about the layout. As such, this new layout too is good.
About reviews, what I felt is that you are not considering all aspects of the bike reviewed and that makes it less appealing to all kinds of people. Though it is quite difficult to write exhaustively everything about it, try to do that.
And finally, YOU ROCK!
Hey deepak Thank you for creating such a beautiful blog. I am great fan of your’s. A am not so good as you are about bikes, but I love the comparison post of your’s the most, that pulsar vs apache rtr, apache rtr vs FZ16 and all.
I hope during the time when new bikes are not launched you can give such interesting comparisons.
I am willing to buy a FZ16 thanks for your advice, It really made me close to the bike knowing all the pros and cons.
I need your autograph man, I wish some day I will meet you.
You are doing a great job Deepak. Your reviews are good but I wish your reviews could be more professional. The way you present needs to be changed.
I would say a more spicy design would be nice, like the old one. Also you should post more often.
great site ,its very informative
hi dude,
this is all really cool. its gr8 and wat i need is a separate box for askin u sum questions and also some information about accessories like horns
Hi,
First of all thanx a ton for starting such a educative blog regaring bikes and lately for cars as well(which I don’t follow
).
I am a regular reader of this blog, sry but my bike knowledge is jus a few months old so can’t really share anything that can be helpful. Jus wanna request you if possible, as in ur old blog, please try and retain archives months wise. That was of gr8 help.
Thanx a lot for this blog..keep up the good work..it wuld b relly gr8 if u reply to all the queries…i posted a query in the topic “Tips for improving bikes mileage”…on 10th january…m still waitin fr a reply…
Hey Deepak, cheers!
thanks for your informative blogs. I ‘d suggest you to add in-depth testing results, for e.g. graph showing torque/power vs RPM (or something similar to this), for the bikes. It would precisely show the bikes stuff and more helpful for us; rather describing in words.
thanks again
Hi,
you can add best service place (city wise) to carry out services like
1/ alteration,
2/ Chrome plating
3/ complete Service
etc., as nowadays finding a very good place to carry out the above is not that much easy.
I hope you will add the above in your website
All the very best
Ram
You are doing a good job. Definitely there is room for improvement. One is to have a section providing information on long term use of Bikes. The language at times tends to become superfluous. The articles should be more objective. A good starting point would be to assess the work done by Autocar over the years and now by BIKE magazine. A SWOT analysis will provide you information on areas where you can improve upon.
And bring in more bike experts so that you have horses for courses!!
Deepak,
Liked your blogs very much, realistic/honest reviews. There’s always scope for improvement, best is to study layouts of all other blogs, find out +ves and -ves and you should be done. User review is good, instead of lengthy reviews, short review with ratings is excellent.
Keep up good work !
hey deepak
i started reeding this blog since i buy my new passion pro.
amaizingly your posts and advices are very usefull to me and i eager to learn more. interesting part is that you can cover all the aspect of bike unlike others thankz man keep on going
my suggestion is that you must give same prefernce to comparison of economy bikes
deepak,
I really dunno what is the intention of having forum, I have seen numerous forums where I “feel” moderators are biased, articles are biased etc etc The only place I get UNBIASED views is bikeadvice.com.
Please keep aside the ‘forum’ idea, you are different, you are better, I want you to be so !!
i think there should be elaborate section in bik advice abt ffe(free flow exhaust). its use and disadvantages and all!!!!
*information about the drag bike races in some places of india like mumbai
*motoGP news and news of indian racing.Like Mrf,JK Tire tournaments in chennai
*comprehensive guide for modification of minor bike parts like horns,lights, mobile charger fix,
*STUNTS! Guide as well as user pics publishing
*let users to register.And setup a system such that the users can create their profiles and add pics of their bikes and let them to add other bikers as contacts,and point system as in Orkut/yahoo answers,if you do it,KEEP IT SIMPLE
*even more bike news if possible
these things popped out of my mind for now.If i’ve anything more,i’ll add later.
PS-You’re already doing a great job so far by managing things how they’re by yourself.We’ll be happy to see your blog even better in future! Also Thanks to saad khan,chinmay dangre,& others too for their contribution
