What should you do before buying a motorcycle?
Generally we all face a common question during the time of purchasing our first bike .The question is that, which bike is perfect for me? In that situation we mostly want suggestion from various bike holder but problem is that their suggestion create more difficulties for us to select our bike. We can select your own bike without asking any suggestion from others . If you notice some things carefully. To help our bike lover. we have provided guidelines below.
There are some major factors that a bike buyer need to be concern before purchasing bike. Factors are given below-
Financial capability
Generally, we fixed a budget to purchase any vehicle specially in the case of bike. It vary with person to person because financial condition is not same to all of us. You can find various types of bike with different price. So you should select your bike that has all the facilities that you are looking for within your purchasing capabilities.
Again, we have seen various types of motorbike in market with different price. Price may vary from one bike to another for various reasons.
- One of them is cc(cubic centimeter). If you want to get high cc bike then you have to pay higher price compare to low cc bike.
- Another point is brand value. Price may vary with brand. Price of Japanese brand is higher compare to other brands.
But above all you should select your bike within your range.
Necessity
Generally we purchased bike without thinking about the necessity of purchasing bike. As a result, most of the time we select wrong bike. For example – if any marketing officer, who's main job is in field, purchased sports bike it will be a wrong decision because he has to ride almost 100 km per day. In this condition he has to select bike such as low fuel cost ,comfortable and at the same time durable. On the other hand if sports rider select general bike then it will be a wrong decision. He should select speedy bike with style. so select your bike according to your necessity.
Comfortability
We always looking for comfort it is not different in the time of bike. Comfortability is related with enjoy. If you do not fell comfortable enough then you can not enjoy your ride. We have seen various designs bike in market but every bike may not give comfort to you. There are some bike that make you bend in the time of ride it may not be comfortable to you. Comfortability also depend on the use of bike. If you like go for long drive then Cruiser is the best. That's why select your bike according to the purpose of purchasing bike.
Fuel cost
Fuel is known as like the blood of the bike. Without fuel bike can not be run. Though nowadays we have seen some bike to run by electricity(Battery) but most of the bike run with fuel. Fuel cost is normally depends on what types of bike you are going to select.
You may find some bike that consume more fuel compare to other bike such as sports bike. This type of bike has strong engine as a result it provides better speed and smooth ride. So it is obvious that strong and powerful engine consumed more fuel then general engine. Similarly in the case of cruiser bike, it is know for long lasting bike also for long drive. It has strong and powerful engine too.
Standard bike has lower fuel cost compare to other bike such as TVS Metro or Bajaj Discover 100. These brands are very much popular for low fuel consumption. Same as in the case of scooter bike.
There are some bike, that generally known as low fuel consume bike. For example: Bajaj Discover 100, TVS Metro, Honda CD 80, Dayang Runner AD80S etc.
How long you want to use?
Selection of bike is depend on various affair one of them is 'period of use'. It's arise a question which is ''Do you want to use your bike for longer period or shorter period''? Answer of this question will help you to choose right bike for you.
If you want to use your bike for long time than, you have to be concern about comfortability,fuel consumption and durability but you may not find stylis at the same time.
Again, if you are a fashion loving person then you will change your bike frequently. In this status your priority should be style, look or color combination.
Read the reviews
It is one of the most authentic and helpful source to know about the bike. You can find some web site regarding motorbike such as motorcyclevalley.com. Main goal of this type of web site is to provide right information to their visitors about bike like as brands, news, tips, compare, polls, showrooms address as well as reviews. Real owner of the bike share their experience through reviews. From reviews you get the detail information about that bike such as performance, advantages as well as disadvantages etc. After reading reviews you can take a right decision.
Physical capability
physical capability is one of crucial matter regarding bike selection. We all are not in same physical condition some are tall, some are thin or may be fat and some are old. so it is hardly possible to ride all types of bike for a person.
For tall and short: if your height is more then 5feet 5inches then it will be quite easy to select a bike because it is a standard hight and all the bikes sit hight will be comfortable for you.
Again,if your height is below than 5feet 5inches, then you have to be concern about bike selection because high seat setup bike is not perfect for you. It will be difficult for you to control the bike.
For thin and fat people: Try to avoid heavy weight bike if you are a thin man because you will face difficulties to control the bike. In the case of healthy man heavy weight and more than 125cc bike is better.
Availability of parts
It is a general practice to change some parts after a certain time. So we have to consider this matter in the time of purchase. For example if you select a BMW model motorbike , it may provide you more speed, smooth ride etc but when you got changed your bike parts than you will face huge problem because parts of BMW bike is not available in our country. So it is important to select those bike which parts is available in our country or you can easily get.
Test drive
Test drive is one of the vital part of bike selection. Through the test drive you can get the idea about the bike. You can match your exception with the bike performance. With the help of test drive you can check the function of the bike. You can also identify the positive and negative side of the bike.
