HOW?

- Manufacturing costs are lower – building a low capacity motorcycle takes around one-seventh of the resources needed to build a car.
- Generally speaking bikes use less fuel than cars – 55-81% less.
- Parking is easier, especially in the city where spaces between vehicles may be small. Many carparks even have specific parking spaces for motorcycles.
- Riding a motorcycle actually burns calories. It takes energy to maintain balance and move through the turns.
- The ability to filter through traffic means no more traffic jams.
CHEAP
- The cost of motorcycle vs car maintenance is much lower and due to the size and the placement of the engine motorcycles are typically easier to work on.
- In general motorcycles retain their value better than cars and are easier to resell.
- Motorcycles have less damaging impact on bridges and aging infrastructure.
SAFE
- Motorcycles have a reputation for being dangerous. Statistics in fact suggest that motorcycles are less dangerous for pedestrians and other road users than cars because they are more capable of avoiding collisions.
FUN
- Motorcycles are fast, manoeuvrable and versatile. The feeling of freedom and exhilaration that motorcycles give you is unlike any other form of transportation. After a hard days work there is nothing better than jumping on your motorcycle and leaving the stress behind.
