Here's Shumi answering more questions about big bikes: instagram.com/p/CAzfLZonII2/
PowerDrift I'm confused what to choose 🤩🤩
Sports or naked or retro..
Triumph Speed Twin
Yamaha R1🔥❤️😍
@SAHIL VERSE One of the absolute greatest bikes of all time!
@@ankitroutjiku3574 Sport-naked! Solves most of the issues in one bike! 😊😊😊
Now the question is how to find the perfect wife? Who'll let you buy big bikes
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.
@@CasualBiker You seriously need to join some Angel English Speaking Classes in order to understand what I said in my previous comment.
First love your self and second wait for your Wife
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
So happy to hear that, Jas! We hope you share our videos with your friends too!
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!!!
Welcome, Pradeep! We hope you Liked and Shared it.
Thank you Pradeep! Times *have* changed. In the early 2000s, taking a big bike into the city would not be as simple as it has become today
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.
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...
Aye, we're so happy to hear that!
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...
This guy is pure legend! His convincing level is just awesome. Huge respect man.
Heart says R1 pocket says splendor
We know the feels bro :-/
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..
Thank you Srikanth!
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.
👍
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.
Really glad to hear that Siddhesh, we hope you land your dream bike soon :)
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 !
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.🙏
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!
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.
Plz give this man a 🏅 for honesty and simplicity ✌️✌️
I don't know why this guy is my favourite among all. I never miss his episode
Haha! He has more videos planned for you all.
Superb! Thanks for explaining every aspect of owning a big bike 😍👍
Very happy to hear this Ankur! Thank you for watching!
Glad you liked it Ankur! Hope it motivates you to go for your own dream big bike :)
Wow. That was some serious big brother advice which any new big bike buyer should watch. Was recently wondering if I should consider one and now i got the exact formula to acquire one. Highly informative for a beginner like me and I absolutely Loved it ❤️
Seems like pieces are falling just perfectly for you!
We hope you can your big bike soon!
Shumi's knowledge and the way he can keep his audiences glued for even a video so long is commendable...not even a minute was wasted in this vdo.
P.S. - Please bring bucket list back.
Thank you!
With so many awesome videos, right from the days of PowerToRider, with all the crisp and best editing, great camerawork, awesome reviews etc. This is your best video till date. Thank you.
Swapnil Shinde Thank you very much Swapnil!
@@shu_mar Thank you Shumi. I have been contemplating owing 600 650 CC category bike for a while now. But with home loan and all I was not sure of economics of it. You have no idea how much your video has helped me. I can now plan accordingly. Thank you so much. Keep your great content coming.
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👍
Lovely.. it’s about how your mind acts against an arriving danger.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Word! Ride safe :)
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
This is the perfect content for me ... needed this kind of clear content as i am managing my financial condition to buy my first big bike Kawasaki z900 ❤️ this was much needed ! Keep it up powerdrift !👍🏻
Shumi, you nailed it man. Thank you so much for helping.
Glad we could, Atharv! What's going to be your first big bike?
@@powerdriftofficial Hey, I am 18 year old now.. But this will help me in future.
@@powerdriftofficial Kawasaki ZX-10R is my dream bike now, but in future I am gonna get that for sure...👍😎
Thank you for the enlightenment. PowerDrift hits the bulls eye, every time. Shumi Sir great as always.
That means a lot to us, Shashank! Hit that Like button if you wanna see more!
I do watch powerdrift videos regularly, but rarely comment. I had to do it on this one.
Man you nailed it. Really sensible stuff and I hope it helps youngsters take good well informed decisions. 👍
Just Loved it, very very informative.
The factors I didn't even imagine were nicely explained.
More importantly with his Honest experience.
Thank you Shumi. 👍
Glad you liked it mate, and we hope you get hold of your dream big bike soon :)
Even before watching these videos why people dislike 😡 . Feel bad for #PDArmy
I got the tiger 800 a couple of months ago..it was all I wanted after test riding it two years ago and going through a lot of other test
rides. You will know in your heart, just follow it...
Very well explained!! Appreciate the effort you put in to communicate such important topics!
Thank you Darshan! So happy it connects with you!
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
All the very best Bhupesh!
Hopefully soon Bhupesh! All the best :)
Great talk & from the heart. Making real effort to convey the message. The only thing to add is to factor in the "investment" of good riding gear into the bike purchase itself instead of looking at it as a separate cost.
loved every bit of it Shumi, especially the approach to financing, the responsibility of handling the great power and the parking hack.
Shumi's passion for motorcycles is so obvious. One can literally see his eyes gleam throughout the video as he goes on pouring out his expertise.
Thank you! I am so happy you can see it. I firmly believe that having a passion, and nurturing it produces the best life of all!
@@shu_mar No, thank you! You're a good man.
This video is a like a guide book to refer to throughout one's life. Super stuff team powerdrift and to shumar for sharing his life experiences in such an informative way.
Would like you guys to do a video on how to sell a bike. What all documents are required for ownership transfer coz most ppl sell bikes on portals like OLX and are unaware of the intricacies.
Good idea Logan! Thank you!
Instead of the this, you should try "how to convince your parent's for big bike 😁😁😁
😁😁😁. That would be a 15 second 'cast where I would tell you.... wait for it..... "Best of luck! Make an unbeatable pitch!"
All you have do is this..
"Mummy please.. Papa ko bolo na bike laakar dene.. I swear exam mein 90% laoonga.. Aur speeding bhi nahi karoonga.. Bole toh side wheel bhi laga loonga.."
@@belsonkoshy7884 I did the same lmao, getting my rr 310 after this corona situation is stabilized.
belson koshy And don’t forget to promise to put the “Mummy says no race” sticker on the bike.
@@shu_mar 😉😃😃.. true.. optionally i don't ride fast, i just fly low.. but i'm thinking where would "Mom's/Dad's Gift" come?? Shouldn't this be the first one..
If you see my heart, Triumph street triple RS is written there ♥️♥️♥️
Awwwww! I dearly hope and pray that you can get one soon!
Loved the video.
The best thing about powerdrift video is that they talk sense into their audience.
However would also be looking for part 2 in which they help us choose the type of super bike adventure super sport or cruiser.
Good idea! Thank you!
One of the finest from Shumi Sir. Enjoyed every second of this 24 minutes video.
The madness about bikes in you is contagious.
awesome video. The first time i watched a full episode of any type of podcast without getting bored. Cheers. 👍🏽
Aye, happy to hear that! Did you give it a Like too?
@@powerdriftofficial sure did
No other person could have explained it better than Shumi. Could see the passion for motorcycles in the way he expressed his views. 😁
Awesome video Shumi. Listening to your wisdom is such a pleasant experience. You’re a hero!
Simply replace bigbike with car and voila- you've almost got best in market advices for your first car! 😉
Such versatile and adaptable explanation of finance from shumi, thanks a lot 😇
Africa twin is my first love.This is my emotion. Saving from last 1 year for that machine .
This is simply 20 years of experience speaking. Very well spoken
Thank you for watching!
This is the kind of explanation I want some one to tell me and my father so that he won't feel I'm wasting money. I'm glad that, after this 24min, his perception changed entirely and last word he said is: I can pay down payment but you should figure out your choice and gimme the hope/trust that you are matured rider, can manage emi and all other expenses. Thanks powerdrift. Big hug to shami.🤝😁
I told my wife Bike r my first love before marrying her. Thats how selfish I am and got a fleet of bikes 😁
Oh my. 😂
I love this dude. Feels like my father is explaining big bikes to me.
This is greatly put together, sir. I have been doing my research on the ZX-6R for quite some time now and planning to buy after the lockdown ends. I do need to get a test ride and understand its nature before I put in my money. I will keep your advice in mind when I reach out to the dealership. Thank you!
That was an amazingly delivered bunch of advice, instruction or guidelines..whatever given by a Big brother.. awesome presentation and very informative..
visakh km Thank you Visakh!
That was one awesome podcast shumi! Thoroughly enjoyed it. After moving through the FZ16-R15-RC390 and now the Ninja 650 for a few years now, I have harbouring thoughts of the litre class. And what a time to find this podcast. Amazing from Team Powerdrift !
Glad you loved it Anand! Please do share this if you can... we could be helping others too!
This advice also helps for people who want to get their first 200cc or 250cc bikes also ,just on a smaller scale.
We carried out a survey for a startup, " Which bikes do economic middle class buy" the survey was a interview type survey and we found that under all the superficial reasons, mileage, service costs, the conclusion overwhelmingly was that people buy it for the feel of the bike, guys and girls both alike. Schumi is on the money here.
Earlier I was thinking about 1000cc segment from activa but this podcast opened my eyes. Such a fabulous podcast it is. Thankyou sir.
Awesome! Thank you Mohit!
Thank you for telling your experience. Now you gave me a nice idea for which bike I need to choose.
Happy to help, Tarun!
So what have you chosen?
I really love kawasaki ninja zx-10 R but I don't have sufficient funds so I thought I will buy zx-6 R but now I will save some money and finally buy my dream bike ♥️♥️
Shumi you are doing a great service to the Indian rider community with these podcasts. The most essential aspect that you cover is related to safety which is absolutely necessary for the largely immature lot that you see racing on the roads. Great content.
I am sure you may have thought of it but is there a way to get these podcasts out in Hindi as well. That way you would reach a much larger audience.
Thanks for the information 👌👏👍 you just cleared lots of doubts and gave support to buy my bike with a good planning.
Thank you Syed!
Hope you get your hands on your dream bike soon Syed :)
I loved this podcast.
I learned to ride bike on my dad's Enfield and then got Pulsar 150-> Pulsar 220->KTM DUKE 390 2017 and finally my big bike Ninja 1000. I still have the DUKE 390.
Abhishek Singh how is the maintainence costs of the Ninja? Service costs?
The way you articulate, extraordinary ❤️ Genius
Darn...Why are you always on point Shumi....This is most on point and hit the nail on head video I have seen from PD. stable....Eye opener and a gold mine of info for starting off with motorcycling for noobs...I think sarges livery is not being missed with you filling his shoes😍😍
Please also do a podcast on how to go about buying a 2nd hand high capacity bike... The to-do's.. The loan.. Even suggest places maybe.
Wow, simply blown away with the way he explained
Although I dream of a Street Triple RS, I am getting more & more sure, that 'new' big bikes aren't my thing, YET! Let me see what the future brings. :D Good content though. Please add these videos regularly.
Best of luck Abinash!
Spot on @shumi, everything you say is true... I would like to add... it doesnt just apply to the BIG BIKE EXPERIENCE... I upgraded from the 150cc last year... and i settled on the Duke, for ONE REASON ALONE... If and when i chose any other... and if someone else stops at a signal near me on a Duke... I would curse myself for not going for it when I could... Thats when I knew it had to be the Duke... Hand on Heart, the damned thing makes me grin everytime I swing a leg over it !!... :D
Nice to hear that you finally went for it, Ebrahim. Ride safe!
Hey, you listened to your heart! Good going, Ebrahim! :D
Great overview on how to plan and select a big bike
Shumi sir as always very precise to the point...
Glad this helped you Karthik! Now we are eager to see photos of your first one! :D
PowerDrift : Sir at present I ride a Benelli GT600...I have done 24,000KM in 2 years ...I am very much happy with the buy...upgrade would be 2 years down the line ...surely will keep you posted 👍
So informative. Thanks for highlighting the seriousness of owning a big bike.
Gaurav Nyaik thank you for watching Gaurav! May I ask you to share this friends and maybe we can help them understand it too?
@@shu_mar Sure Shumi!!
This is great shumi. I stil remember your review of tuono and how much you wanted to buy it. Congrats on that. Someday i will too get my dream one too😊😊
vishnu gopal Thank you Vishnu! I’m hoping that your dreams arrive fast!
Thank you😍
This is a really helpful and motivating video. Thankyou Powerdrift for coming up with such videos and motivating us riders .
Glad you liked it XDeep. Hope it motivates to go for your dream bike :)
Though i know that i can't buy big bike....but loved the strategy u gave us...thanks shumi..☺️☺️
Thank you for watching! There is nothing human beings can't do. Just a few things that we don't think are worth the effort :-D
Hey Shumi and PowerDrift , loved the video. I've been waiting to upgrade to a big bike from the CBR250R since so long. Hopefully after watching this and working out the details my family would be convinced to let me get that ZX6R :D
Glad to hear that Hatim! The ZX6R is a mighty fast motorcycle, so you might want to consider adding another step in between, something like a 390 or some other bike in the class. Ride safe :)
We have spoken about a lot of life changing things. No doubt!
Now lets talk about that wall back there. Looks way too cool.
Very informative. Explained in a great way. Thank you !
Man this is some good stuff. This is something we need. Material curated for the Indian Market. We can all watch Doug Demuro or Donut media as much as we like, but if the statistics and all the logics don't apply here, then it makes little sense. I have been looking for content like that for a long time. This really helps plug that gap! Please do more! (for sports cars as well, and perhaps, some tuning culture) Coming from a 2018 WRX in the States.
Was so brilliant and informative
I take my riding very serious!! I am always geared and i say my prayers before i sit on my beast.. TVS XL 50 cc...
Sir, beautiful explanation, u touched every aspect for buying a big bike. Very useful and motivational speech.
U r awesome 👍🏾
Thank you!
Thank you for making this video .!
The only online class really worth watching
Hahaha! Thank you!
Thx PD for this video this is very helpful for me .
Keep it up.
Glad you liked it Abrar, hope you land your dream big bike soon :)
Very valuable information and guidance. Looking forward for the 500cc bikes of Honda to buy. To experience other bikes I would like to hire and try them out
It might be a while before the 500cc Hondas end up here. Well, fingers crossed...
@@powerdriftofficial Hoping so. They have been too slow in expanding their product line in India. Currently in love with another Jap brand, new Ninja 650😄
can u please make a video on buying used motorcycles. things to look out for ....things to ask the owner about.....and things to know before deciding on a bike...etc. Thanks :)
That's coming too, comrade! Stay tuned.
Absolutely brilliant !!
Such an honest talk by the beast !!
Thank you! I'm a beast?
shumar beast in the motorcycle world!! 😜
We love you for a reason and u made it straight ❣️❣️❣️powerdrift is lob❣️❣️

Thank you!
Glad you liked it Abhijit! Ride safe :)
loved your knowledge and the way you explained. Thank you.
Very very very useful worthy content...that is what i love and powerdrift..rocks bro..
Couple of good advices. Could be applied at other spectrums as well. Thanks, especially for the beautiful explanation.
Highly informative video.. so well put together and everyone who aspires to buy a big bike as well as their first bike should watch this video before making a hasty decision to purchase a bike under some influence of friends etc... Thank you for this information... if possible make a video on buying used car/bike as well as selling your own bike etc and also safety of your bikes from theft...
You're welcome, Shankar!
We are planning for something buying used motorcycles. Do stay tuned to our social media for updates.
I had my first bike Royal Enfield which till date many of us consider as big bike, no aiming for real big bike... Thanks for the guidance
It's always great to listen you Shumi!!! ❤️ OD to PD
Abhishek Hedaoo Thank you Abhishek for following my work so close! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤟🏽
This comment is from the core of my heart.
I am Mitrashis and I am just 18,from Bengal .I have been a part of the PD army since I was 16...following every new bike video searching about it online and all...I am in love with bikes. They tend to give you wings. The ignorants would never understand what this wings are,but the 1.9 M subscribers would surely do. Like every other guy I want to ride my big bike on a tour far far away from here with my best friend. Discover the unforeseen, challenge our abilities to the brink...and we would do it! We would surely do it,that's my promise to the PD army and the whole PD team! As they would say it,"agar mera pyaar saccha hain, ye hokehi rahega!"....kinda he taste of the woods:-p...thanks shumi,thanks varun and the whole team...this podcast just brought me a step close to my dreams and the promise I just made! Please make more podcasts on your lives and your journey to PD. They would prove to be a inspiration to the lakhs of us! Thanks again.
Shumi you rock...👌👌👌
You gave me some serious information....
Thanku thanks a lot...
You are a genius 👍👍
Hey #PDArmy, absolutely loved the content this time. It will definitely help people like me to take informed decisions during big bike purchase. Request you to make more such videos in future as well. Shumi rocks 😊
Love your Methods for madness, from one of the experts🤩
That's what brings the actual fun out, no? ;)
Thank you so much. This was so bang on point.
You're welcome comrade.
Thank you for watching! So happy it helps!
Thank you Shumi .
