Know Before Buying Bikes – Don’t Hop Directly On Big Bikes!

A very big problem that is encountered with most of the youth is – under the influence of owning a powerful bike, they unnecessarily jump on big bikes without having riding skills and in the end regretting the decision. As a result, the bikes are listed on the used markets. So, before finalising the decision, make sure that you have ridden a basic bike and know how to handle it in the city and on the highways. Controlling a big bike is not a cup of tea as it might also kill you.

Know Before Buying Bikes – Check Every Bike!

We have a lot of friends, and influencers just recite the spec-sheet of a bike and share their opinions. Don’t listen to them! Go out, check every bike, test it – look if it connects you emotionally, check the power if you can control it, the sound, pull and what not. This will help you to keep the bike – as buying the bike is easy, but keeping it is hard and it is well seen in the used markets.

Once, you choose a high power bike – don’t settle for any other because of high costs. For instance, if your bike costs approx Rs 7 lakh, and its rival costs Rs 6 lakh – don’t just blindly go with a lower priced one for the sole reason. This might hamper your overall ownership experience. Instead save money, let your purchase be delayed by some months, but buy the one that connected you.

Check Used Markets

Always keep an eye on the used markets, you might find a better deal there. This majorly helps when you are planning to buy a big bike. There are majorly two advantages of buying a used bike –

You spend a less amount compared to new cost of the bike

The resale value of the bike will not hamper much, compared to the new bike. For instance, once you buy a new bike, once you take it for a spin, its resale value will fall majorly. Compared to when you buy a bike from a used market – the resale value will not hamper that much as its value has already fallen down.

Keep in mind, the resale value for big bikes gets affected quickly compared to lower segment bikes.

Keep Some Money Aside

Once, you choose a high power bike, that really connects you – don’t blindly put all the money on the motorcycle. Instead keep some money aside, as it will help you in maintaining the bike. One of the major costs that will incur is fuel & maintenance, big bikes even considering 400cc’s. So, keeping a certain sum of money aside will help in the initial running and maintenance.

Know Before Buying Bikes – Check Good Loan Options

Buying a new bike outright is a very good option, but here we are talking about big bikes – which cost heavy. So, make sure you have an needed down payment cash ready with you (keeping aside some money for its running). Check banks for getting good loan options, check two-wheeler or personal loan options – to know which offers a lower interest rate. Once you check a good loan option, make sure you have enough to manage the EMIs, fuel cost, maintenance, and others.

We aren’t saying that your next buy must be some percent of your current salary and other things here. There are a lot of influencers outside to guide you there. In spite of that, we would say, if you mentally know that you can maintain the bike along with its EMIs, then sure shot go for it.

Buying a gear is what most of them procrastinate about – and eventually they just continue without having them. Having a gear will help to reduce the impact in case of an accident, we don’t say it will fully save you, but it will prevent you to an extent. So, it is necessary to spend an amount on getting good riding gears. While this is for you, you must also protect your ride. Make sure to equip it with much needed accessories like engine protector, skid plates and others.
