What are the benefits of motorcycles?
2 Answers
Compared to cars, motorcycles are more flexible, unaffected by traffic jams, and can navigate both main roads and alleys. Their fuel consumption, maintenance, and overall costs are lower than cars, approximately one-tenth of a car's expenses. They are the best means of transportation for the middle and lower classes. Therefore, motorcycles remain popular today with no signs of being phased out. Advantages of motorcycles: Motorcycles are affordable, cost-effective, lightweight, and flexible. When comparing motorcycles to cars, the advantage depends on the travel distance. For activities within a 50-kilometer range, motorcycles have a clear advantage. For distances exceeding 50 kilometers, cars are more advantageous. Disadvantages of motorcycles: Motorcycles are 'meat wrapped in iron,' whereas cars are 'iron wrapped in meat,' meaning motorcycles have inferior safety performance.
I've always thought riding a motorcycle is super cost-effective, with fuel efficiency and savings being the biggest advantages. The fuel consumption for daily commuting is surprisingly low—gas expenses can be about half compared to driving a car, and insurance costs are much cheaper too. Buying a used motorcycle isn't expensive, and maintenance is simple. Changing the oil or small parts yourself doesn't cost much. All things considered, you can save several thousand a year, especially for a salaried worker like me who commutes daily—my wallet thanks me. Plus, I've picked up some mechanical knowledge along the way, which feels quite rewarding.
