Question

WHAT ARE THE PROS and CONS OF BUYING AND RIDING A MOTORCYCLE?

Answer 1

Pros- what they listed

Cons - YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION AT ALL TIMES OR YOU WILL GET KILLED!!!!!!! i can not stress that enough.

If you are a day dreamer or a person who drives your car and talks on the phone while looking at a map while watching little mermaid with the kids in the back seat... if you are that kind of driver then you will not last long in a motorcycle.  you will become another death statistic.

Answer 2

If you have to ask, you'd never understand.

Answer 3

The pros are it's fun and an economical way to travel but the cons include possibly wrapping your brains around a tree and maybe even getting run over by someone thats talking on there cell phone...

Answer 4

PRO - No cage.

Con - no cage. Gettin' run over is painful.

Answer 5

Pro- Its fun.

Con- Auto drivers are not even trying to avoid killing us.

Answer 6

Pros - freedom! Not getting caught in traffic. Being part of the environment you are riding through with the sounds and smells - unlike being stuck in a four wheeled air conditioned cocoon.

Cons - safety can be compromised by other idiots on the road especially if you don't have enough training or the right attitude. Can be very miserable when you get cold and wet. Buying new tyres every 2000 miles can get pretty expensive, as can servicing on some of the more exotic models.

Think about this statement - "Only a motorcyclist can understand why a dog sticks its head out of the car window". That's why I ride.

Answer 7

pros:

cheap to buy

cheap to insure

good fuel economy

feeling of complete and utter freedom (best reason to ride, IMO)

looks good

fits into smaller spaces

cons:

lack of security and safety features

lack of luxuries like A/C, heat, and radio

exposure to elements and bad weather

limited passenger and cargo space

riding gear can get hot at low speeds and loud at high speeds

overall, they're great for commuting, but you may want to get a cheap, old, beat-up sedan for carrying more people, bad weather, and extra cargo room when you need it (like shopping)

Answer 8

Pros

You could be like the fonz

Cons

You could die, a sudden brutal death, or

end up a vegtable

or end up skidding and end up looking like the terminator
