  • Auto Enthusiast but new biker

    Hello all,

    Heartfelt hello to fellow bikers. Naveen here from Bangalore. Usual IT guy y profession.

    I call myself a self proclaimed auto enthusiast and was mainly into cars only till recently. One of those days when my ankle was hurting due to really bad traffic in Whitefield area and a colleague happened to wait beside me at a signal in his Activa. After greeting, at spurt of moment we decided to exchange our rides and a small opening in the traffic and I reached atleast half n hour earlier than my friend who came in my car. Next day booked a TVS Jupiter and rode it for 2 months, sold it and bought a Suzuki Gixxer.


    Now Gixxer was a new experience and rode it for 6 months. Likes the smoothness of the engine and linear power delivery. But after some time felt lack of power. Wanted to move to something better. Tried Mahindra Mojo, Bajaj Pulsar RS200, Honda CBR 250r (amazing bike but was put off by the attitude at dealership) and Duke's and finalized on Bajaj Pulsar RS200 ABS model.


    Now 3 months on the bike and I am already feeling like upgrading . Basically car guy for 15+ years and now I don't feel like taking my car out!!


    So this is about me. Happy to be part of this forum and looking forward to interact with you folks.


    Ride Safe!

              Hi Naveen,

              A warm welcome to XBhp.
              You seem to be on a upgrading spree.
              Do let us know what you choose as an upgrade.
              Ride safe.
              I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

                Thanks a lot Rugved for your wishes.

                Yeah, as a matter of fact I think it will be one of Ninja 300, Yamaha R3, BMW G310 or Kawasaki ER 6n (easy to ride 650) for now.

                Thanks Rugved for the welcome and the note, this is something I need to try as currently it is mostly highway rides.
