How to buy your first big bike | Episode 10 | The PowerDrift Podcast 

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/

Now the question is how to find the perfect wife? Who'll let you buy big bikes

Right on spot ! this is the kind of content is required for most of us who are dreaming of a big bike ! u just nailed it...no crap pure content !!

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

I like the "big brother talking" vibes!

So nicely explained, so brilliantly honest, this is what makes PowerDrift. "PowerDrift" 💪❤️

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.

Would love to see more of such podcasts about big bikes, even the length of the video is perfect

This opened my eyes..!! I'm not just poor.! I'm super poor :O

I don't even have a bike but I'm still watching

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

This is what I was waiting for, someone to teach newbie's like me to wait a little longer & come back prepared. Thanks.

Schumi is so eloquent and concise with his speech! Love it!

"if you can't buy it twice, you can't own it "

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 ❤️

This content is gold. Sharing your 25 years of experience, it really gives me an insight what I needs to plan for to own my first big bike.

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!!!

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 best suggestion on how to own and acquire a big bike. The podcast was awesome 👌 pure content and information with zero crap.

Heart says R1 pocket says splendor

Thank you for this video.🥰 Love these videos. More of a Soul Talk than a podcast. A true Biker's words straight from his heart.

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...

One of the most informative episodes ever . For people who would want to buy a big bike (like me) for the first time , this episode shells out a lot of info. It's like talking to a friend who know a whole lot and is giving some good advice through experience. Great help!

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 😊

I can listen to shumi talk about bikes for the whole day! ❤❤❤❤

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.

This guy is pure legend! His convincing level is just awesome. Huge respect man.

Plz give this man a 🏅 for honesty and simplicity ✌️✌️

One of the most honest podcast that I have heard in long time. It's like an elder brother explaining a younger brother.Thank you so much.

You simply won our hearts with this podcast Shumi.

Thank you Shumi and PD to get this episode out online. Straight from the heart and thanks for sharing your experiences and advises for "free" :)

I would give a standing applause if I could. You have explained it amazingly well. Cheers mate!

How effortlessly Shumi explains is the best thing about the Podcast......Biking is the best feeling a person can have

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 !!

"More power comes with more Responsibility"

I watched this twice. This is such a great, educational video. Hope my dream comes true in a few years too. Cheers 🤘

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 ❤

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 !

You can Experience his love for motorcycles from his words and that's what I loved about this video.😍

Thank you so much @Shumi. Just what I needed to listen to. The hefty price tag is a one-time thing, running costs and maintenance are reoccurring.

brilliant, simple, To the point, worth a lot. hats off shumi.... love you.

This is gold. Such a well narrated content.Shows how experienced you are. A well deserved, heart felt thumbs up to you. 👍

Once again Shumi nailed it with all his experiences of owning of big bikes and thank you for sharing with us💯

Kudos to Legend Shumi. How precisely he putted all things in words. Very helpful and inspiring video. Thanks 👍

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).

I dont know why i am watching this video My broken ass cant even afford a splendor+😂😂

Shumi, when you talk it's like big brother talking to me. Thanks for being big brother for more than a decade for me. 💯

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 😎😊😎

One of best truly honest from the heart kinda talk which i was searching on RU-vid for a very long time. Those words coming from a biker lover is truly helpful 👍🏼

I don't know why this guy is my favourite among all. I never miss his episode

Your words show how much you have been through to have this much knowledge... #respect #pdarmy

I don't think anyone else can explain the big bike experience better than how you did Shumi..👍👍🙏👏 Didn't expect this to be this good.. Well done..

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

That info is awesome Shumi, I will show this video to my dad 😅

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.

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!

I don't ride a two wheeler but your passion, knowledge and presentation are amazing. I actually look forward to seeing your uploads even if it's for a scooter. Good job man.

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

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.

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

Best advice about bikes I've ever heard.. Big Thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks much Shumi..very incisive, humble & absolutely helpful!!

I need to say that all this content is bringing the best out of Power Drift 🙌🏻

Wow , thank you for the video and every thing you said made sense to me even though I don't own a big bike.

These podcasts are making my lockdown so much easier❤️

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.

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 😊

Superb! Thanks for explaining every aspect of owning a big bike 😍👍

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" .......

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

Loved it. Thanks for sharing your own journey of the bikes you bought. Superbly executed. Waiting for your new video already. ☺️

Ooooh... Believe me I haven't enjoyed a podcast like this... Schumy man...loved it brother.

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

Shumi = Spot on, right insights - every time ! Don’t understand how anyone can give a thumbs down to such a insightful video. Keep up the good work. Take care and ride safe. Cheers

Awesome video Shumi. Listening to your wisdom is such a pleasant experience. You’re a hero!

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❤️

Lovely.. it’s about how your mind acts against an arriving danger.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

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

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❤️

Thank You So Much Sir, it's very informative...

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

As a fellow RU-vidr, I tend to keep my videos short, so that the viewer does not run away half way through. But this video has been awesome. Watched it completely in one sitting. Very well explained. And the passion you have towards biking..... Amazing. Best wishes. Happy riding.

My superbike owning dream was started watching Powerdrift , love Powerdrift team , now I own big bikes ,thank you all

Even before watching these videos why people dislike 😡 . Feel bad for #PDArmy

Very informative video, answered all my queries.

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.

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 ...

Love powerdrift ❤❤

24mins didn't feel like 24 mins! Perfectly made podcast!

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!

LOVED IT ❤️🔥👌🏻

If you see my heart, Triumph street triple RS is written there ♥️♥️♥️

One of the finest from Shumi Sir. Enjoyed every second of this 24 minutes video.

Wow. 24 min and I didn't even realise the time pass away. Just started the video to see what it was about and then I got hooked on. Good video!! Good clarity and fluency of thought. Need more such videos!.

I Want To Buy The Yamaha R1🔥 And One Day By the Grace Of God I will definitely Buy It..❤️ Once Again You Guys nailed It🔥 #PainterSquad #Powerdrift

I have got Rs. 15 in my account, my dream is tiger 900
