Top Four Reasons Why Motorcycles Are Superior to Cars
Most motorcycle enthusiasts will tell you nothing beats riding on the open road. But motorcycles offer several advantages over cars besides the thrill of riding.

You can learn more by contacting Bartels' Harley-Davidson® in Marina Del Rey, California, where our knowledgeable staff can help you experience why a motorcycle is superior.

Money
Not only is the purchase price lower for a motorcycle, but there are also many other hidden savings for riders vs. car owners. Motorcycles are more fuel-efficient, getting many more miles per gallon than cars. Maintenance parts are also easier to get with a motorcycle, and most insurance premiums are much lower than a car. Parking spots are also easier to find, and many times can save you a lot of money over a car's parking expenses.
Riding and Performance
Because of their light weight, motorcycles are famous for their acceleration, easily beating most cars. This gives them an added thrill component, not to mention the extra calories riders burn than car drivers. The relative lack of material that motorcycles enjoy also gives riders superior visibility of the road. Many think that motorcycles are more dangerous, but the reality is riders can evade and swerve much easier than in a car. Motorcycle riders have no added distractions, such as cell phones and cup holders—just the open road.
Excitement
Faster and more agile, motorcycles are more fun than cars! Even a car owner with a convertible will not experience the same thing as an open road rider. From long-haul riding to riding down narrow alleys, no car experience can match the liberation of riding a motorcycle. You'll also be part of a culture of other road warriors and biking enthusiasts, where large annual gatherings can form strong bonds. Motorcycles are easier to take on road trips, too. For example, if you own a truck, it's pretty safe to say you'll be able to take a motorcycle as an extra ride, not a car.
Better for the Environment
Consume less is the new mantra. Bikers have the added advantage of knowing they are more eco-friendly than most vehicles on the road. From fewer resources required for production to less fuel wasted, motorcycles leave a smaller carbon footprint than cars in general. Motorcycles also leave less footprint on our country's infrastructure, causing less wear and tear to roads and bridges.
