Thread: Girlfriend decides your bikes?

does your girlfriend play a major role in selecting your bike in the buying process.

i came across a few threads where bikers say that their girlfriends want them to buy this bike.

such statements like-girlfriends like pulsars

and r15 is a romantic bike and etc

so the major question-
if you are buying a new bike-will your girlfriend's choice play a major role?

((for me-absolutely not-its a man machine affair-keep the ladies away.they know nothing about biking.
who knows you may end up buying a PINK BIKE.))

Topic Approved and moved to General Biking Discussions.

Don't have a girlfriend. And my Ex didn't ever tell me what bike to get. It was her own decision not to interfere in my biking, probably because she trusted me with such decisions...

lol guys this reminded me of something..
its like 4 years back story when i got my karizma and r15 was going to come in market..
my gf's friend told her that karizma is a cheaper bike worth 40 thousand and R15 is superbike and its of 10 lakhs.. lol yea guys 10 lakh i didnt added zero by mistake..
my gf was complaining me about my karizma i said her shut up dont say if you dont know anything..

Its better Girls dont interfere in boys stuffs :P

I usually put out the pros and cons of the bikes i have shortlisted for them to understand and then pick the bike that they think would fit me best. Colour suggestions would also be considered, what looks best on the bike and for me. Final decision rests with me. Ofcourse I would consider pillion comfort as I would like to tour with her alot.

Since none of the bikes i shortlisted are sold in pink, i dint have any issue.

Never ask a girl about biking itself!! They will even mess ur thoughts. I had an ex gf who made me feel that I wasted money on extra fittings on my car. They destroy the man`s feelings. But im not saying all girls are like that

About 2 years back. She wanted a P220. I wanted a ZMR. Had a fight. Dint buy nothing.

2 years down the line, the hottest sportsbike on the planet came into the market.
I own it. And I'm now (happily) single. ;P

My ex actually called my bike her "sautan", that says it all. I loved, I love my bike more. She was never the one who decided these things. After we broke up, I love her "sautan" even more now

Lol..., I don't think girl knows something about the bikes and our feelings to them...Even once I heard a girl was saying to his boyfriend while on a passion and pointing to a fazer that how can this bike go faster because of his thick and heavy tyre...

I had a discussion with the GF about the color thats all. Selection of the bike was purely me..

Actually she is one of the sensible types so not much of a problem or arguments or convincing . Pillion comfort and touring abilities were prefered so I took karizma R. Color was not much of a consideration for me so she recommended black and I took it.

Well she is 5 feet 8 inches tall and she panicked to get on the bike first time . But when she sat and I rode the bike and smoothly got upto 100kmph. And took a sweet corner she really loved and she poked me and said " Look at the speedo ". I slowed down and later she said the loved the ride ( ie Certificate of Approval Granted )
