Bajaj Pulsar 150, RE Standard 350, RE Himalayan and Bajaj CT 100. Amongst these my personal favourite bike is RE Himalayan bcoz of it's easy to handle, as it's adventure as well as city motorcycle. And I am a explorer, so I visit many of those places where Tar road doesn't exist, and Himalayan helps me to explore it more bcoz of it can run on any terrain. BC: Any particular bike you DISLIKE ? KS: Suzuki Hayabusa, I don't feel it's comfortable although it's engine power is ultimate, but you can ride this bike on highways only, not on other terrains. BC: What made you want to ride a bike ? Have you made any long distance trips with it yet ? KS: As I mentioned, I am a explorer and especially a nature's beauty wherever I could find, I go there and that's my passion or dream whatever you can say, so motorcycles have helped me to fulfil my dream, bcoz I go to those places where any other mode of transport is next to impossible except motorcycles. I have done many LDR's to name few Thailand, Nepal, Ladakh, Bhutan, Spiti-Killar Kishtwar, Goa, Mumbai, Delhi, 7 sisters. BC: How do you plan a new ride ? What are the basic things you keep in your mind when you plan a new ride ? And how do you select your routes ?
