We all wish if we could own our own means of transport. Try as we may, we sometimes can’t afford what we want because of our meager income. In other times we may be able to buy something but when we consider the maintenance cost, we are put off.
Thinking about it deeply, I have found that we tend to want to purchase beyond our ability. We may want a car, but what really we can afford is a motorbike.
Here are the advantages of buying a motorbike over a car regardless of your income.
Cheap
Brand new motorbikes are selling at as little as Sh70,000. Its maintenance cost its very cheap compared to that of a car. And it can take you nearly everywhere you need to go. It needs little parking if any.
Economical
Fuel wise, motorbikes are very economical. For instance, some bikes consume only 1L/68km! While cars will consume over 5 L to travel that same distance. Why should you waste your money?
Route convenience
Since bikes are fit for rough roads, narrow paths and so forth, this makes them best for changing routes. It can access places where a car cannot.
Availability
Motorbike sellers are nearly everywhere in Ukambani region. They even found in supermarkets! You do not need to go to big cities to purchase one. Cars are available in only big Towns. Few people know little about the transactions involved in purchasing a car.
Easy to ride
It is very easy to ride a motorbike. Even some driving school expects their students to know how to ride even before joining their schools. That explains why there are motorbike riders everywhere. You could be one of them.
Think about buying a motorbike instead of a car. You could even sell the car you already have, buy a bike and invest instead.
