Re: Read before getting a Superbike

Did you started approving the posts without the mention of the source articles too?

Re: Read before getting a Superbike

Points to be added.

1. Maintenance cost. The bigger bike will mean bigger costs of service and spares. Be ready to spend more than usual.
2. Spares. The big bikes are imported and the SVC dont stock most parts. So if in case you need anything be ready to wait for weeks for the spares.
3. Usage. The big bikes mean lot of attention which can be good and bad. That means you have to make sure that you get safe parking spots for the bikes when you park it, prevent people from taking the bike of stands which can lead to disasters.
4. Police and city dragsters. When you ride with full gear and helmet, the Police come to an understanding that you are racing. ANd in the city all wannabe racers will try to get a drag with you. They will cut you, drive dangerously and stuff. SO be ready to face it all.

Re: Read before getting a Superbike

[MENTION=26407]aargee[/MENTION] jee, I don't know whether to answer that or not. But you're right, I understand it was a good tidbit, and I personally didn't find the necessity to post the link for a simple general tip with photo. We never post articles that are either bland or that doesn't sync with the topic on hand. We at xBhp strive for the best possible coverage and tips whenever possible, and it's hard to provide link for every single photo source. I hope you'll understand the difference between a news and a general tidbit.

We're astute of the news, across the board coverage, we always make sure we provide the link, as has always been.

If you have any more clarifications, kindly pm me, I can help. Let the thread be intended for information purposes, so that it stays clear from off topic posts.

Thanks again for the enthu. . Keep it up!

Cheers!
VJ

A nice find for any wanna-be SBK owners. Kudos bro...

Re: Read before getting a Superbike


My point was that there is no point linking to a source which contains nothing but the image. (reference to the imgur link.) You gave me the Motorcycle USA link, and I have updated it in the opening post. Hope you are now satisfied.
