At some
point in time every boy dreams of having a bike of his own. Of course
the expectation of when they would like their first one might be
sooner than possible, but nevertheless, they always desire to invest
in one that they can call their own. Some make their preferences
based on the type of bike they want. It could be a dirt bike, a
sports bike, a cruiser or a chopper. The other half chooses their
bikes based on the brand. Of course you dream of the best but when
reality strikes you still hold on to aspirations, but those that fit
within a budget. For those whose bank accounts size up to the carpet
area of my house, dream of Harley Davidsons, Kawasakis and Ducatis.
For those who stand a little lower than that, like me, dream of
owning a Yamaha or a KTM. Now don't get me wrong, these brands too
feature bikes that can be classified in the niche segment. But they
bridge the gap in the hope of making their bikes affordable for a
larger audience. The thrill of owning a bike of your own is a feeling
of sheer excitement. Like most little boys, I too grew up fantasizing
about owning my own motorbike. From my very first job, I began to
save month after month, year after year, increment after increment,
until I got a good break into a new company that rained a package on
me, sufficient to sanction me a loan. That offer letter was my golden
ticket. I was finally going to get my hands on my dream bike. For
about a year, I had my mind set on the Yamaha FZ V2.0 FI. So I
decided a time and date to visit one of the best Yamaha motorcycledealers in Pune. The features of the bike were no doubt
incredible and I was thoroughly impressed with the test drive the
dealership encouraged me to take. Through the entire process, I
realised a few things about Yamaha as a brand which convinced me
that investing in their bike was a decision I would not regret.
Honest
opinions – The staff at the dealership were very clear when
speaking to me about the bike. They complemented the aspects of the
bike that were truly remarkable and did not try to oversell any
characteristics of the bike. Honestly in my opinion, I felt that
simply riding the bike would have been enough to convince anyone to
go ahead and 'make a move'. I had a lot of queries regarding the
servicing, the installments that had to be paid, situations which
would require me to have parts of the bike replaced and a lot more.
They were systematic in explaining each and every detail to me and
gave me instances in which I may face certain challenges but assured
me that with their help, getting things in order would be much
easier.
Constant
upgrade – Every bike introduced to the market by the brand has been
better than the previous one. The company consistently makes an
effort to design and manufacture bikes that are better in
performance. As a brand, Yamaha has always strived to improve the
technology and engineering used in each of their machines. They have
therefore been awarded at recognizable platforms for various aspects
of their motorbikes. Regardless of whether it is their scooters or
sports bikes, Yamaha has forever been winning the hearts of bike
enthusiasts across the globe. The level of innovation when it comes
to the designs of their bikes is unparalleled. They in no way are
mere motorbikes but selectively crafted pieces of art.
Transparency
– This experience comes from my research as well as a joint
experience of helping a friend get his Yamaha serviced too. Post sale
care of a bike ranks at the top of the priority list. You could bring
your bike in to the service station for a simple oil change or even a
whole part replaced, the service station will make sure that your
bike is delivered back to you in the best shape. My friend has never
once experienced being overcharged or seen addition of services that
are charged on the bill.
It is now
close to a year that I have been using the bike and my first two
services with the company has been incredible. The staff has always
exhibited great professionalism and I have never once faced any
hindrance when seeking help from them. With the overall experience I
was treated to I don't just think of myself to have got the bike I
wanted, instead I am a proud owner of a brilliant Yamaha. Yes, I do
feel like the price was on the higher side, but I have no regrets
about it. Everything from the fuel consumption to the design and the
feel of the ride too is just a perfect experience. I am also of the
opinion that because I bought the bike from one of the authorised
Yamaha motorcycle dealers Pune, that my experience was a much
better one.
