Motorbiking vs Driving

One of the oldest debates among commuters is whether motorcycles are a more convenient mode of transportation than cars. If you’re faced with this dilemma, you’ll come to find that each comes with its own degree of perks and setbacks. That’s why it’s best to do a side-by-side comparison and determine which type of vehicle best suits your needs and lifestyle before purchasing either one.

Our team at Road Track & Trail in Big Bend, WI, has been providing quality motorcycles to our clients for years. This comparison guide could be used to help you decide if buying one of our bikes is the best option for you. 

Affordability

Perhaps the greatest benefit that most people enjoy about motorcycles is the overall lower cost of ownership. By comparison, the sticker price of any motorcycle is always likely to be cheaper than that of a car. In addition to that, motorcycles are also more fuel-efficient and require far less annual fuel expenses than any car or SUV.  Many riders also find that they save on motorcycle maintenance as it is often easy to conduct general upkeep right from the comfort of your garage. Meanwhile, vehicles have more mechanical parts that may require costly professional maintenance on a routine basis. Buyers have also found that they can save on insurance when buying a motorcycle given that the rates are cheaper than trying to insure a car.

Experience

There are obvious factors that will create a difference between a driving and a biking experience. Motorcycles have a reputation of being less safe than cars given that riders are directly exposed to the outside elements and have no airbags or seat belts to protect them during accidents. On the other hand, motorcycles tend to be a fan favorite when it comes to speed, maneuverability, and overall control. Motorcycles have an easier time passing through tighter spaces or taking sharp turns than cars do. It is also easier to evade obstacles or collisions on the road while on a motorcycle than it is while traveling in a vehicle which takes up far more space. 

Convenience

Cars afford drivers the convenience to travel regardless of the weather conditions. Meanwhile, motorcycle riders must invest in additional gear for themselves and their bikes to be able to handle harsh weather. Car drivers also get to enjoy amenities like AC and heating which aren’t available to motorcycles. When it comes to traffic, however, motorcyclists have the option to maneuver through gridlock whereas a driver may be stuck in place for a long period of time Similarly, parking is much more convenient for motorcycle users as their bikes can fit in much smaller spaces than cars.
