Are you thinking about buying your first motorbike? Well look no further!
For many individuals in Bangladesh, buying your first motorbike is a rite of passage – a first step towards adulthood. For many, it is the first real investment made with their own hard-earned money, which makes it that much more special.
Motorbikes are a popular choice due to the heavy traffic in Dhaka. Motorbikes are currently the fastest mode of transport, as their compact features allow riders to effortlessly weave through traffic to get to their destination with plenty of time to spare.
Due to the recent rise of ride-sharing and delivery services like Pathao, Uber and Hungrynaki, many individuals are purchasing motorbikes to join the rider career as well. Thousands of city dwellers are investing in motorbikes to enlist their services with these reputed brands for their increased job flexibility and better pay grades compared to traditional jobs.
But with so many different brands to choose from, all offering hundreds of different models, how will you decide which one is the best for you?
To make sure your first motorbike is a good investment, it is better to research beforehand. Ideally, we would suggest you look at lower range bikes that are more cost-efficient and economical so you can learn the ropes first, before moving onto higher-end motorbikes when you are more confident with your skills.
