Thank you all for the inputs. We have almost finalized the Honda Shine.
I will Book it in next 10days. Any more suggestion on which byke/How to ride/How to learn fast would be great.
Also I am confused about the price. Can some one tell me the on road price for the Ally wheel,Disk break and Self start model in Hyderabad.
No clue about the pricing..check their website. As long as its a Honda u can be rest assured that its of top notch quality.
About the bike itself. the engine should be amazing and best in class. m sure u wont have any problems there. just be careful with the fibre and plastic parts. honda has a bad reputation for that. it wont trouble you as long as your gonna mishandle ur bike.
Few of the tips that i can share with u about bike riding:
-Your learning should always be at low speeds.
-Start with empty straight roads and then once u get the basics right take it into traffic.
-The shifting of gears, releasing of clutch are only gonna be the few problems a new learner experiences. but honestly u ll understand that in no time. Once u do that get yourself to know the bike better in terms of its dynamics and limitations such as how long it takes to come to a stop after hitting the brakes.
-Also its always good to use both the brakes at all times.
Always REMEMBER:
-Ride at a speed ur comfortable with. don go to speeds which u or rather ur bike cant handle
-always ride in an upright posture. it will help in the long run.
-RESPECT ur machine. maintain as and when it needs to be. its gonna be ur companion n ur savior in a lot many ways :cool2:
-Last but the MOST IMPORTANT, always , ALWAYS wear a HELMET
things to watchout for:
- indian motorists are crazy these days. no respect for the fellow rider/drivers. not to scare u but there have been lots of cases related to road rage. For no reason they like to show their prowess to u. Just avoid n let them be their assumed winners (unless ur a politician)
-there are many who like to provoke u by showing their speeding skills, just let it go. not worth wasting ur limbs on them.
-the thing u most likely want to be prepared for is, PEOPLE. they cross abruptly, don know that footpath is meant for them and not for trucks etc. They hate following road rules. I hate to say this but in India its more or less, the street in front of ur house is urs. Do watever u want n noone can do anything about it.
n there your.. Good to go.. sorry for this long post but i feel these are points good to and need to know.
All the best :hap2:
