At 1:18:50 Zack asked any bike made by Indian manufacturers will do better in US? There is one called Bajaj Dominar 400cc its a ktm 390 engine put in a Powercruiser like ducati's diavel , that i think will do better than it does in India coz of the low cruiser stance
Yes we need Zack and Ari with Sagar doing a CTXP episode in India
oh man the amount of subs Revzilla will gain if they go to India! So worth it!
Awesome idea! Would love to see that, make it happen Revilla!
This feels like an inevitability. The US moto culture needs to join with India! We have so much to share with each other.
@@mindspinn311 oh yeah totally.
I just love the biking brotherhood culture in west, it’s so nice.
I hope we should all get together nd share that passion for 2 wheels.
CTXP with the three of them across india maybe the leh-ladakh road or the north eastern india would be great
Sagar has come a long way! More power to him!
I did a huge double take, seeing Mr. Sheldkar and RevZilla in the same title! What a great collab!
Oh we need a collab between Zack, Ari and Sagar. Doing a ladakh ride..
I just love their Zack and Ari's travel videos, adding Sagar would just explode..
Man that would be a video to get easy millions of views.
Up
I second the motion!
I am up for it
No doubt about it
Add Sagar's story telling skills to that. 😍😍😍
Riding in a taxi in Delhi was scary enough for me. I couldn't imagine riding a bike there. My Indian brothers are built different 😅
They arnt built different they are just used to it
@@steve00alt70 naaa we built different
@@steve00alt70 we built our minds different
The potholes in India will catapult you to Pakistan.
@@MuhButtsBeenWiped bro you still living in 19th century? potholes are thing of past
Sagar, WAS the reason we all started following Powerdrift. He was THE motorcycle reviewer. The channel has NEVER been the same ever since he left. Its mainly a car channel now.
I'm from Canada and subscribed Sagar. When I was 16 I got a ride on the fastest production bike at the time, Ninja ZX11. The rider didn't hold back, went 275 km/h and I loved it. I'm almost 50 now and love my KTM Duke 390. Riding in India looks fun in the mountains.
@RevZilla, Guys I'm from India and thanks a lot for your interest in the motorcycling scene here in India and for this collab with Sagar and ... Enjoyed it a lot.
I highly recommended a couple more guests for future podcasts - Shubhabrata Marmar (Shumi) and Kartikeya Singhee... Both part of their youtube channel - MotorInc.
Agreed
+1 to this, @Revzilla bring them here!!
+1
+1
@revzilla please do bring them
Sagar sheldekar representing 🇮🇳 india worldwide.
Happy to see you here Sarge. You are making us all proud. Thank you Revzilla for having Sagar. I myself follow Zack and Ari for a long time. It's nice to see you all motorheads together.
Redline King Adityan
Holy shit. This is an episode i didn't know I wanted. Sarge is amazing.
So happy to see Sagar sir ❤
The way Sagar shook his head when he was called an international sensation 😅
He's just so chill about it.
I’ve been watching Sagar for YEARS when he was with PowerDrift and after! He’s fabulous. So good of you to have him as a guest. The motorcycle culture of India is the main reason I want to visit and spend time there.
In India the best advise I would give to an outsider for driving 2/4 wheeler would be to have complete situational awareness. And as Sarge suggested 'Go with the Flow'.
I'm from North East India (State of Mizoram). We actually follow traffic rules and discipline here, maybe we're an exception.
Refreshing to see Sagar here, PowerDrift (the RUclips channel) was actually good when he was there.
Same here in Bangalore everyone follows except few Chapris who any way get caught, but I’ve been to Ahmedabad and Pune and I’ve seen most people not follow rules, even people don’t care about Red signal and it’s like normal and nobody is getting caught.
Man, we need strict laws for everything.
Following Sagar from days of PTR, ( powerdrift's old channel )
He is the one who redefined motorcycle journalism in India, & he forced other journalists to Learn Skill before making videos 😂
Edit :
Answer to @1:18:35
Bajaj Dominar 400
TVS RR310
Hero Hopefully soon coming with Xpulse400 Adv. Not the dirt/motocross style
BSA goldstar
& Hopefully RE soon coming with their 450cc platform.
Really was looking for this comment lol Idk why Sagar didn't mention dominar 400 and RR310 but bmw g310r which is literally behind those 2 bikes in every aspect.
Sagar's Triumph Daytona 675r video on Powerdrift is by far the best motorcycle review ever filmed in India.
I bought one partly because of that video.
Sagar is one of the best we got to offer to motorcycle industry from India. Sagar and Shumy with Zack and Ari to Leh and Ladhak trio
This is the kind of podcast ENTHUSIASTS want 👌🏼👌🏼
Hey guys i am from India and we grow up watching the sagar content especially i fell in love with his style making content when i watched his Daytona 675R review. He is the guy who set standards and benchmarks in India automotive content i am one of the people who got inspired by seeing him in race suits all the time . I own a KTM RC390 and i ride around in a full race suit. So i would love to see you guys in a collaboration because it will give sagar to bring his game up more and be an inspiration to more people ❤.
Attgatt for life bro 😹
who better than Sagar to represent the Indian Motorcyle scene and culture for this podcast...loved it
Oh man you have no idea how much we love non Indians making Indian content.
As an Indian motorcyclist i feel incredibly happy listening to this podcast. Incredible you guys!
Only want more of this! 😁😁
Wow. I'll shut up. I have 3 tracks within 1.5 hours, one of them Silverstone. It was a great episode - as always btw.
Bro you have Silverstone near you 🤕🥺
Great to see you here Sargent(Sagar Sheldekar). Awesome! Never had time pass like this before here. Excellent podcast Guys. Would love to have you Guys visit India.
Hello Zack and Spurgen,
I am a 19 year old college student and KTM fanatic from Colorado. I absolutely love your podcast, and Zack's Daily Rider series is hands down my favorite series on RUclips. For years, I have been dreaming of having the opportunity to become a motorcycle/automotive journalist. I am a passionate writer and memorizer of useless trivia and facts (essential skills for a journalist) and would love to know how you two came to be doing what you do!
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment,
Quinn
Music and Motorcycles know no boundaries. What an iconic collab!
One of your best episodes to date ! Great to get a “world” perspective of motorcycling 👍!!!
PS: Happy birthday Sperg !
I am a car guy but as a vehicle inthusiast I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to end. I finished full podcast in one go . Keep it up 😊😊
What a surprise colab and Sagar is a brilliant representative of motorcycling in India, the way it is right now and how it might be in the future. Things are looking up, as more Indians get serious about the sport. Sure we have problems (and they are often highlighted); the honking, Chaos, bad roads, unorganised traffic, etc. But the issues can make it is easy to overlook the fact that we are one of the fastest growing economies in the world, the purchasing power is growing and so is the education & awareness! 🇮🇳 In the future (hopefully soon) all the big brands of the world will have no choice but to bring ALL their products to india. Thanks revzilla for this podcast. Love the banter.
This is Rohan, a motorcycle tourer, also from Pune !! 😅
Truly refreshing listening to Sagar on Revzilla. The motorcycling universe collides. Love it ❤
Spurgeons mustache is going to need its own episode.
This was an absolute blast. You all hit it out of the park.
Its great to see the perspective of motorcyclist from different countries and culture and the love and enthusiasm. I have a Royal Enfield from India and to some its a small bike. Its fantastic.
Such a good podcast. Good to see the right info shared of a motorcycle enthusiast's life in India. Hooked from start to end.
I might be high as hell but I am a full HOUR into this podcast and enjoying every single second of it. God, I love long-form interviews :D
Guys please invite Shumi from Motoinc , he is another as famous as Sagar. Tons of motorcycling experience and owns a mutistrada
But a real noob in terms of real knowledge 😊
Guys a narc
@@Toxic88088 totally! Had the displeasure of working with him briefly in January 2014. One of the worst turds I came across in the last ten years. Unfortunately, the majority of Indian auto journalists are like that: zero knowledge and 500 per cent arrogance. Therefore, I have finally started a video series. It's called the NOOBS OF AUTO JOURNALISM. Check it out. 😃
@@RealAutoReviews what??
@@RAXITH_playz Yes. An absolute noob who has been pretending all along. Has zero real knowledge. Google, "noobs of auto journalism" and you shall be enlightened 😊
This is the first High Side Low Side episode I've watched and it's awesome how refreshing it was. Even though the panel today is divided by a few thousand miles, they were united by their love for motorcycles. It also looks like a kickass collab in the making for the future.
I've been following Zack since his Motorcyclist Magazine days and have been a fan of the On Two Wheels segment, which is sorely missed these days. I've also been following Sagar since his start at Powerdrift. So imagine my surprise when I see a crossover from two RUclipsrs who've been part of my formative years.
That was an enjoyable podcast to listen to. I appreciate Sagar's comments on the cultural differences as they relate to motorcycling. Having visited India about 15 years ago, the "no rules" is very applicable! To the Revzilla crew, more content with international motorcycling personalities!!!
Great chat! I'm from India and I listened to the first half riding my r1250gs to work, and the second half on my xpulse 200 rally on my way to work again!
Another fabulous episode! I didn't even think I was interested in India's motorcycle scene UNTIL this episode. Sagar is an inspiring motorcyclist. I do suspect that India's overall societal attitude regarding motorcycling is biased towards the "daily rider" (i.e. commuter and family transportation needs). Whereas USA's attitude regarding motorcycling is the motorcycle for pleasure (vs. necessity). Of course, one's passion for riding as a lifestyle or even a credo may blur one's admission that one's motorcycle is "meerly a toy." I can't imagine life without a motorcycle!
So happy this pod was made. Love from India.
Thank you revzilla, for bringing my most favorite people on the pod cast, Noraly, RyanF9 and now our very own superstar from India Sagar, I am a big fan of you guys and watching both my gurus (Zach & Sagar) in the same frame is way more than I can ask for ❤️
Good to see you here Sarge !! Met you 2-3 times only but you're a gem of a person I must say...
Sagar in Revzilla, never would've thought. Awesome!!!
Chat taken over by Indians ❤❤❤❤❤
This was like a dream come true for me, Sarge and Zack Courts in one frame! Would love to see more collabs. More power to Sarge!
Superb episode...Finally, Good to see someone from India putting genuine and actual scenario of Motorcycling in India. It's always been a pleasure and learning while riding with Sagar. He is one of the most passionate bikers I have come across. And RevZilla is been there with me since the time we didn't have any Riding gear supply in India and we would eagerly wait for some one to come to India from the US so that we could get gear from RevZilla .
From my experience in North india, roads are good quality and bike friendly
Very Humble and honest Sarge! Respect to you and what you do!
I loved this convo and how Sagar is able to comprehend and summarize his Indian motorcycling to US guys
Great podcast! Fantastic to hear about the differences in the motorcycle culture in India compared to North America. A comment about motorcycle shaming. When I was young I would throw a sleeping bag at the side of a side road and sleep. Now at 60 I’m accepting of a clean hotel room. No need to judge. Your comment that someone is always more hard core rings true. My dad when he was 17 years old 5’ 11” and all of a 135 pounds was pretty hard core. He was a reconnaissance rider for the Canadian military in WW II on a Norton 16H. He was almost 90 before he would talk to me about that time in his life. I asked what it was like day to day. He told me about wrapping his wool coat around himself and trying to find bridges to sleep under in Holland. Having a shell land beside him, spin and not explode and giving his rations away because the people there were hungrier than he was. And, test riding a BMW after picking it up on the side of a road where a dead German was laying beside it. He’s my bar for hard core motorcycle riding.
Love the podcast every time!
Especially loved this episode for the difference in perspective culturally. I was recently in Italy and to Zach’s point I was blown away by not only how many more riders I saw in the week that I was there, but more so how many bikes I couldn’t identify. I kept stopping to check out each and every bike taking pictures of every one we don’t have here in the US. My wife and brother in law both kept saying how all they are going to have pictures of when we get home is motorcycles.
Anyway wanted to say as much as I really do love every episode and all of the regular guests. My favorite episodes have all been the foreigners (Sagar, Itchy Boots, and Fortnine)
Thanks for keeping me laughing and helping my love for riding continue to grow
Love to see sarge getting the recognition from RevZilla. We would love to see collab videos of both.
Whoa. Never in my life I believed there would be a possibility of collab between Zack and Sagar. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Mad respect for Sagar! I’ve been watching him since last 6-7 years and I love his passion for motorcycles. Hope I meet him someday as I’m from Pune too.
Pune mei kaha se ho Bhai? 😁
great video kept me hooked every second....and this is from a proud xpulse 4v owner from here in India
@RevZilla, I can't emphasize this point enough... Massive respect and thanks for using the correct map of India in the thumbnail. 🙏🤝
Loved this podcast, Sagar is a class act! Lets get this gem of a human to the US!
Super happy to see Sagar here! 😍
Sagar is the reason I learnt to fluently speak and understand the American accent for free, the best voice and accent trainer ever.
Watching Sagar's reviews has taught me the distinct way of speaking like an American, Roll your R's, Kiss your W's and bite your V's
Thanks to Sagar I did not take up a job at the BPO, Sagar clearly saved one American job from being outsourced to India.
Cheers! Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra.
o the following
Hahaha accent is to impress the Americans 🤣..
Sagars story sounds familiar. I've r15m v4 too as my first and current sports bike at age 29. I've had scooters- Honda Activa, Suzuki Access 125, Tvs Ntorq 125 before. I have been riding since I was 16 17.. on hero Honda CD 100 belonging to my cousin. After which riding my dad's bike. Currently riding r15m. And I've been to Chennai and coimbatore race track by bus from Bangalore- 8-10 hrs journey. Got certified for track racing..and now watching this podcast which was just so much fun and it's like I'm visiting my own story.. it was just great. I spent the whole night watching the podcast. It was great 🙏 Fan from Bengaluru India
And about @Revzilla you guys make things(content) so understandable and fun to know. And i must say @Revzilla are content creator- you have created content in my life.😊
It was absoluely great to watch you guys discuss motorcycling cultures from two different countires!
Sarge and RevZilla collab will be icing on the cake. Sarge and zack riding the canyons and Zack and Sarge riding in the himalayas.. God damn that will be insane...
For sure zac , ari and sagar riding in india will be very very entertaining. Must happen!
Sagar's first race story is legendary 😂🙌
The questions you asked are well framed to extract the perfect response from Sagar .
And it's soo cool that you people don't hold back from googling to fill the curiosity at the moment itself.. great video
Great video guys, thank you Sagar for teaching many us outside of India about motorcycle culture in your country.
Sagar deliver most quality content when it comes to motor vehicles in India. Following Zack and Ari since they were in Motorcycle Managzine. Watching all of them together is like wow.
I bed to differ, I believe Shumi does a better work than Sarge. I love Sarge a lot, just I learn life lessons along with motorcycling from Shumi 😊
Yes Sir as you came to know that there's only 2 Big Racing Tracks, but still we here are very much committed to the motorcycle community. It is wonderful seeing our Indian Rider @SagarSheldekarOfficial on a Podcast with RevZilla, where he shares about our riding culture and different motorcycles which are available here in India. Great collaboration with many insights to motorcycles.
Love from India.
Zack and Spurg you guys should come down to India. And all three of you should ride to the Himalayas on Xpulse 200 Rally . Maybe also get Ari. It's a beautiful ride in hills and you'll get an experience of riding some Indian bikes.. Hope to see you guys riding here.. amazing podcast keep up the good work.
Great to hear about riding culture in India.
Happy (belated) birthday Spurge! Still in your prime!
Ride safe
grazz iz alwayz green on the other side... indeed loved to see u all getting to know each other... sharing ur experiencez with motorcyclez n ridin...
what a good interview, this is so interesting. finding out a completely other world of motorcycle. great work , you three!
I believe Power To The Rider was the first channel I ever subscribed to on YT. And the mind blowing KTM 390 video Sagar did for PowerDrift still remains one of my fav ever.
Over these years, I have found many superb channels like Revzilla & Fortnine that are easily some of the biggest and best in the world. So seeing Sagar's name mentioned here, "It does put a smile on my face".
Thank you Sarge, for you are one of the ones that started it for me.
An exchange of opportunities would be amazing, zack and ari on the xpulse, sagar on the ktm, the guess game was obviously difficult for sagar coz most of what we hear in india are single cylinder engines
Amazing video! It was like deja vu listening to you guys talk cause it's so similar to the conversation I have with my friends from the states! Could totally relate.
I’m so happy to have stumbled upon this series!!
Sarge it was great seeing you on Revzilla Godspeed!!
Good to see the collab with Sagar, we should see more of such interesting conversations and exchange to information.
Love this podcast soo much
Exchanging memories, ideas and experience from a different culture and region. Good also when the journalists bring their stories as well
Yooooo can’t believe you have a vid with Sarge, he’s the best vlogger and one of the most exciting riders I’ve ever seen. He’s a monster man, love the guy!
Good to see Sagar. The conversation was pritty much same everywhere in India regarding motorcycling.
Excited for Sagar's USA vlog in future with Zack.
can believe, i ended up watching this 2 hr long video . without any regret . loved it .
I live in Southern California and follow Zack and Sagar. It’s great to see you guys come together in a show. There is another famous South Indian actor named Ajith. He would be a great guest for your show. He used to race F3 cars, Goes on Rides with different kinds of motorcycles, Does a bunch of RC flights and acts in movies.
Dude, Ajith is a superstar man, if these guys could rope him for a podcast, well I don't know how that would turn. I don't think that would go well, he's doing it as a hobby/passion these are more of auto journalists having a conversation 😅
@@bumpystories I am sure Ajith will have more stories because he is not just doing it for Hobby.
@@hareshkanagasabapathi781 well sure if they can get Ajith it would be great for us only 😁 we'd love that
The only complaint I have is it is too short man. This was such an epic podcast. Superb!!
Watching videos of India is the very reason I ride now. I love the style and the love they have for there bikes. Harald Harken Jakarta roads are the guys they made me be like yea brugh it’s time to ride
This episode is pretty touching for me, it's amazing how we can all feel connected and understand other perspectives through the love on two wheels.
Sagar is truly a superstar. This guy changed my life …
Great episode man!!! I didn't even realise it is already 2hrs. Hope someday team Revzilla comes to India and become familiar with the biking world here, it will be epic.
Now the anticipation of what's coming up will drive me crazy!
Such a great podcast this is. Man loved the way both of yous were in awe with Sagar's description of riding in India. Always been a fan of Sagar and his love for motorcycling. I myself being an enthusiast of motorcycles this was so much fun. Hope to see you all riding in India sometime.
Loved this conversation. You guys gotta get "sarge" to states & collaborate on a video together!
What an amazing podcast! Motorcycle enthusiasts just talking about one thing that they are passionate about - motorcycles 😊
That was fun! Keep em coming guys
WOW Sarge and Revzilla! We need more of this, an not just behind a few mics - behind a few handlebars :D
Here In Motorcycling hood, everything is possible. it's just how much you are into it. Love the way you present guys. Wish to join Adventure fest! with you all in India
Sarge is the best, his wheelie shots in Tamhini pass are in a sheer class of its own
Aaahaaa sarge on HL.. fantastic.. have come to love his videos and the lovely peg scraping on every 2 wheeler.
