motorcycle travelling - really the cheapest way?
Hey there!
I hope you can help me: I'm thinking about what way of travelling is cheaper - car or motorcycle. Though I don't have a big experience in travelling by car, I found some reasons why travelling by car (take a small car, like a fiat 126 or something) might be possibly cheaper:
1.the price: in comparison to used cars, used motorbikes are really expensive to buy.
2.fuel cost: I don't think that motorcycles are really better in this case: most 600cc bikes take about 5-7l/100km and that's not less than a small car takes.
3.running costs/maintenance: car tyres last much longer than bike tyres (ok, you always need to have 4 of them..); a car doesn't need to have a new chain every 20.000-30.000km - in general it takes less maintenance than a bike.
Ok, this is all theoretical stuff. And if I had the choice I defenitely would go by bike, just because it's the most - let's call it "impressive" way of travelling. But, like so often, I have to decide for the cheaper way...
So tell me about your experiences!
Thanks,
- Johannes
