Motorcycle finance for riders new and old. Every rider knows what it means to feel the liberation of the never-ending road is the adventure of a lifetime. But for many, getting the keys to the bike is still a major roadblock.
Between the cost of a motorbike alone, bundled in with the additional costs such as permits, protective clothing, registrations, and maintenance costs, getting on the road is getting harder for many.
It seems, however, more Australians than ever are getting on two wheels. During 2020, we saw an exponential increase in motorbike sales, by as much as 22.2%. And that’s despite a global pandemic and the wake it caused to the national economy. In 2020 alone, 100,000 bikes were sold across the country. And with them, so too had the demand for motorcycle finance.
The Cost of the Keys
For many, buying the first bike or even a much-needed upgrade can mean a significant and upfront amount to cover the costs.
So, what are the foreseeable costs and how much do you need to cover them and get on the road?
The Six Expenses of Owning a Motorbike:
- The motorbike
- Safety clothing and other gear
- Maintenance and repairs
- Insurance
- License/ permit/ registration
- Fuel and oil
While some of these are upfront and others ongoing, the whole sum can be intimidating.
