    Motorcycles are a long-term investment and because of this, you’re going to want to choose the right bike the first time.

    Getting a bike that isn’t a perfect match for you could mean that you don’t just miss out on a fun experience, you could also be subjecting yourself to an uncomfortable commute, or worse, you might be exposing yourself to safety risks.

    So, before you go to your local dealer to make a purchase, these are the things you need to consider when buying a new motorbike :

    Road Type

    Yes, you read that right. The type of road that you intend to ride on is important because some bikes are better for a certain type of road that others. Dirt bikes, for example, are ideal of off-terrain, but may not be as ideal for handling sharp curves as superbikes are. Luckily, most bikes are designed to be driven on tarred roads. There are many bike types and it would definitely help to familiarize yourself with them.

    Your Riding Style

    Whether you’re the type of rider who likes to scrape his knee on sharp curves or if you prefer to sit back and relax, your riding style is going to dictate the type of bike you’re most compatible with. Each rider has a different riding style and choosing the wrong bike type for your riding style can mean that you don’t just have an uncomfortable ride, you may not have as much control of the bike as you normally would.

    Almost every car accident is caused by a loss in control at the worst possible moment. In fact, seasoned car accident lawyers know the statistics all too well, and these are the figures that you might want to learn more about. As every motorist knows, even a momentary loss of control is a major danger in itself.

    Power vs Fuel Efficiency

    You need to be able to determine what you need more between these two. If you live in an area that has a lot of steep roads, then you’re going to want a bit of power there. If you have a lot of flat roads, then you may want to prioritize fuel efficiency, especially since you don’t really need a lot of power on flat roads. Though, this choice still boils down to personal preference.

    Usage

    Is this bike going to be your daily driver? Or are you getting this bike as a hobby? The frequency at which you intend to ride your bike is also going to play a big factor in what bike you’re going to purchase because some bikes require more maintenance than others. If you plan on using your motorcycle as your means of transportation on a daily basis, then you might want to stick to models that don’t need a lot of maintenance.

    As you may have already guessed, there are many more factors to consider when buying a bike, but these are the most essential. Choose your bike well and you’re not only going to bring home a mode of transportation, you’re bringing home something that brings you joy and fuels your passion. Let your bike be one that’s perfect for your needs.

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

    • #WideWednesday showing off this bold Urus sporting the Novitec Esteso widebody and aero kit done by @race1_ 

It also packs a full Supersprint exhaust so you will certainly hear it before you see it coming.
