Best Motorcycle/bikes rental in Delhi/India

Hello Friends,

I have created this blog to make sure that noone should get cheated by anyone of the thugs sitting at Karol Bagh. I was looking to hire a bike in Delhi  to take it to Manali for my Ist road expedition.

I have inquired to many vendors in Karol Bagh and everyone seems to be so professional and polite over the e-mails. I was in touch with Bullet Center, Mukesh Motors & Lali Singh and finally decided to go with  Bullet center. He quoted me 600 INR/day for RE 350 CC Electra for a period of 10 days. I asked him before making the advance payment that "Which model/year will you be going to provide me". He answered, all of our models are above 2009 and comes with left side gear shift. And I didnt had any reason to doubt on him, so I made the payment.

Phhheeewwwwww.......when I have reached to bullet center to collect my bike I was totally surprised with the bike & it's condition. It was an 2002 model with right side gear shift. He said, this is the best we can provide. I asked, what if it breaks down enroute? He replied, once you are out from here, it's all your baby; we are not responsible by any means.

WTF...I asked him to return my advance payment and again for no use as they have the policy "There is no refund already paid rentals". God bless him and his business. This is not the right way to run any of business in this world. Anyways, I was already in Delhi spending almost 20000 INR on my trip from Bengaluru to Delhi in terms of flight fare, travel accessories, etc. There was no option to return back. So that day I booked a hotel in Paharganj and started again my search for another bike.

Thanks to Lord, same night one of my friend sent me the link of www.stoneheadbikes.com . I called them up at 02:00 AM in the morning and WOW, they answered the call and even walked me through with whole process. The name of Head Consultant is Mr. K S Thakur, he asked me to come in the morning at sharp 10:30 AM to the Sales office (They have thr garage situated in Shahibabad).

Next morning, i visited Stoneheadbikes.com office at sharp 10:30 but had to wait for almost 20-30 mins. Anyways, I told Mr. Thakur about my requirement and he started making some calls here and there! Luckily, he told me that they have 1 RE 350 CC Electra available with self and disk brake. Model was 2011! He asked me to wait for 1 hour as they don't gives bike without undertaking necessary service and inspections too. I went with one of their executive to their garage to see the bike and what exactly they are going to do in service. Following are the things they did;
New Break Shoe
Carborator cleaning
Changed all the packings
new engine oil
changed the chain links
wiring check up
shockers fill up
new air & oil filter
side mirroes
leg guard, etc.

I have taken the test ride and was very happy with the performance and ride of the bike. Thereinafter I came back again to Sales office to complete the formalities. They have asked me to pay 8000 INR + 12.36% taxes along with a refundable security deposit of 10,000 INR. I have also signed a agreement in which it was clearly mentioned that Sthoneheadbikes.com is responsible for all mechanical errors by all means, client just need to take care of the exterior body. I WAS HAPPY & SATISFIED!

I have completed by trip in 11 days and was very satisfy with the bike and online support of Stoneheadbikes.com. I did some exterior damages to the bike and I didn't mind to pay the cost for the same. They deducted around 2000 INR for headlight, backlight, tank paint damage, etc.
