car insurance breakdown cover
Car or Motorbike costs? I am considering the pros and cons.?
Help me decide. I was considering using a bike to get to work instead of the car, but am unsure of the total costs? is it that much cheaper than a car? considering tires, fuel, insurance, tax, breakdown cover, and the like, any help on the subject would be gratefully received, although I would prefer answers from people that have done both please, I can contemplate too, and don’t care for stupid thoughts from people without a clue.
I Quick addition…
I sold my last bike last October, and was considering a CBR600 F, Triumph Sprint ST, VFR800 Vtec, or a Fazer1000 for the use of commuting to work. additional info would be cool
It depends on the motorbike and car you are comparing. I have a Honda ST1100 and it does 30mpg, my car Mondeo does 32 mpg! Cost wise the bike costs roughly the same to service as the car, so do tires and insurance.
The bike is always quicker to get about, far more fun and I can nip through traffic and past queues. That said without doubt I am more vulnerable and if I were in an accident it would hurt more on the bike.
To me it comes down to the weather, on a nice sunny day the bike wins every time, on a frosty or rainy day the car wins every time.
The decision is entirely personal choice but cost wise it totally depends on which bike you are comparing to which car.
No matter what exactly are we planning to buy, all of us have a tendency to discover the cheapest possible solution for our requirements. So, the very same applies to purchase Automobile Insurance.
