Motorcycles Vs. Cars: Which Should You Choose?

Motorcycles are one of the most popular alternative vehicles in the U.S. and every year more and more drivers are making the switch. However, while motorcycles are a great vehicle to have, they’re not the perfect fit for everyone. If you’ve been contemplating replacing your car with a new bike we want to encourage you to read through our list of pros and cons first, before you make your choice. 

Why Buy a Motorcycle?

If you’re looking for a vehicle on a budget, a motorcycle is your best option. These vehicles are typically half the price of your average car and are also lower in long-term maintenance, fuel, and insurance expenses. Motorcycles also tend to outperform cars in terms of both acceleration and agility, making them the perfect choice for shoppers who are looking for a healthy dose of adrenaline in their life. Because of their impressive dexterity, motorcycles are also popular vehicles for buyers who live in large congested cities. Not only is it easier to find a parking spot with a motorcycle, but you’ll find navigating narrow streets and heavy traffic to be much easier. 

Why Stick With a Car?

While motorcycles are amazing vehicles, they do have their limits. For example, because of their small size, most motorcycles can’t accommodate more than one to two passengers. You’ll also find that riding a motorcycle can be a bit more difficult than driving a car. Not only will you need a special license, but your motorcycle will require some physical strength in order to turn and support your vehicle. Because the vehicle is open, you’re also more susceptible to outside elements such as rain and snow and are more likely to be hurt in the event of a crash.
