[@rajdeepdas9016]

Hi shumar, I just wanted to ask that do you have any idea, where I can buy used superbikes in Bangalore. Lead for any superbike dealer will be benificial.

[@thelionking3321]

Better check with the official dealership directly and ask them for any used bike. They have information on hell lot of very lightly used superbikes for very cheap price...they pass on the info of the owner to contact and you can negotiate directly with the owners. Most owners are reliably rich and they will give it for steal a deal...you dont want to pay any commissions at all in dealership. Just a goodwill gesture they follow for their premium buyers. Good luck👍🏻✌🏻

Great video Shumi and the PD team! 1) what's the price range that one negotiates for once we employ the checks that you have listed in the video. Or are you suggesting that one should engage the services of experienced bike techies like Zubin/Anand to do this for you. 2) Many would be more assured if PD starts a venture of reselling bikes.

One piece of advice : if its your first big bike its better to buy a new one because you won't be able to figure out if its a bike you should buy or not. Your urge and excitement of buying a big bike won't let you judge all that. P.S - Personal opinion.

[@shu_mar]

I disagree. It depends on what help you can find to select the right bike for you

[@anonyymoss]

@@shu_mar i said that because i was looking for a used bike for about 1 and a half month and couldn't find a good bike as i had no great knowledge about how to find a good used bike and i didn't trust anyone enough to take recommendations from them about used bikes. So went for z900 off the showroom last year and haven't regretted since. But your video is definitely of great help to people who are looking for a used one.

[@785jrtasanG]

Shumi...I would really admire a little info about the shirt you're wearing...its reminds me of Late Chester Bennington ( live in Texas).

[@Joemondale]

As a seller, the buyer just refuses to transfer the bike to his name. Moreover, he is from another state. What are the steps that I have to take to get rid of any liabilities involved with this bike? Thanks.

[@shu_mar]

Super super super difficult to do. I would usually hold money back, pending the transfer.

[@Joemondale]

Occasionally at middays also ! They have changed throttle body,updated Ecu but no positive results! Can you help me to find out the problem !

[@NikalankJain]

The content is very good, but you have not shown any structure. It's too verbose. You need to add motorcycle visuals. And edit should show more than just your head. Let the frame be a little more comfortable and distant. The weird side angle... is well weird. Take a breath. Otherwise well done. Give specifics of stuff. All the best.

[@yethuraj4873]

Best superbike u can buy is hero splendor its super because no worries, part's, everything is available for years. Lower, middleclass tend to choose these kinds of bikes because they can get better fuel economy frm these bikes due to high private transport taxi prices. Time and fuel economy were the first thing that tend customers to buy 2 wheeler in past today its not the case buying sports bikes snd racing it on gutter roads for nothing is a hobby I used to see people buying 40rs petrol in ktm bikes because they can't afford it just showing off.

[@doonsmonk4079]

Hi i have a query. My duke 390 is 3+ year old. I do not have front fork oil leak issue. Should i change the front forks oil as bike is now 3 years old. Is it a good practice to do? , if yes what is the time period after which fork oil should be replaced. Secondly does rear shock also contains oil? I don't think it does just confirming. And if rear shock does contain oil should that also be replaced after a period of time?
