Hi guys,

How many of you are considering selling your vehicle or not using it and getting a motorcycle.

Obviously, petrol prices are going up like a crazy MOFO and I'm sure many of you are considering this... but I'd like a show of your posts who is actually either IN PROCESS of doing this, or CONSIDERING IT (Seriously)

Thanks!
 
Seriously considering getting another bike and keeping my car.

Traffic and petrol prices have actually made me decide to move closer to work. I am moving to Sea Point at the end of the month.
 
I am seriously considering a bike in addition to the car... car for the weekends, bike to get to and from work...
 
For now its a-okay.

If it gets much worse, then the most i would do, is downgrade to a more fuel efficient car, but still not a motorbike.
 
Come on... Think of going to work on a CBR600... it would be loads of fun :D
 
So...

1. Get a motorcycle and keep car
2. Downgrade vehicle to something less petrol hungry

Okay! :)

I can't really understand why people are paying so much for petrol and not using a motorcycle.
It's cheaper... so much cheaper!

I agree, it would be tons of fun, and less issue with the traffic. But safety comes first.
 
Did it already bikes use about 80% less petrol than most cars... + while lining FTW!
 
Oh, if you have a family, i don't really think you could just ditch the car for a motorbike. The most you could do is get a bike to go to and from work, and thats if you don't carpool.
 
I was about to buy a bike today, until I phoned my insurance company and got a quote for more than I am paying for my Jeep Cherokee!!?! And that is for a little kawasaki GPX250cc!
 
No family FTW in this respect then :D...

I'm already scouting around for a decent 07/08 CBR600 with low mileage...
 
I was keen on getting a bike and keeping my car until ABSA told me what interest rate they were going to rape me with!

Try Wesbank P2P... depends on the amount, but apparently thanks to the new NCA, getting a decent interest rate on loans is difficult, my Honda S2000 was PRIME+1, even with a 43,000 deposit.
 
I am considering it. Ill obviously keep my car and I want to get something like a 650cc to use for commuting and recreation on the weekends.

im just worried about insurance costs since I dont yet have a bike license (even though I drove bikes alot when in school)
