Perks of Choosing a Motorcycle Instead of a Car

Most people travel around in a car. But is that really the best vehicle for you to be using? A motorcycle offers a viable (and in many cases, preferable) alternative for getting around the city. If you aren't convinced just yet, keep reading!

Financial

For many people, the savings is the most persuasive argument at play. Who doesn't want to trim down their transportation budget? Using a motorcycle is much cheaper than using a car for several reasons. First, you'll spend less on the sticker price. A bike is smaller and less expensive than a car.

Second, a motorcycle guzzles much less gas than a car. You will travel the same distance, but end up spending much less at the pump. Each time you fuel up, you spend less money (which really adds up over time).

Third, it'll cost less to upkeep your bike than a car. Motorcycles, in general, tend to break down less, so you'll have to visit the mechanic less often. Since they have fewer moving parts, the repairs will tend to be cheaper as well.

Fourth, your monthly insurance rates will tend to be lower. It's cheaper for an insurance agency to repair or replace a motorcycle compared to a car, so each month you'll be paying less. You'll be amazed at how much those savings add up over time.

Performance

Motorcycles differ from cars in how they perform. With a bike, you sit exposed (instead of confined in a car frame). There's a unique thrill to this open riding style that you just can't find in a car, even if it does have a sunroof.. You'll get to enjoy quicker acceleration, tighter turns, and better handling with a motorcycle than you would with a car or truck.
