Swap Your Car for a KTM Motorcycle

You use your car to get around everywhere. But should you? Many people use a motorcycle as their primary (or only) form of transportation. A KTM motorcycle can offer more than an adrenaline rush on the weekend. It can be a strategic replacement for your car. Not convinced just yet? Keep reading to discover the many reasons for choosing a KTM motorcycle over a car. When you are ready to look at motorcycle models, visit Langston Motorsports. We proudly serve those near Temecula and Riverside, California.

Cost Benefits

The most persuasive argument in favor of a KTM motorcycle is that small, green thing everyone wants. No, it's not the green monster of envy stirring in those you pass (though you'll get that too!). It's money.

Hands down, KTM motorcycle ownership is cheaper than car ownership. You'll see a much lower sticker price for a KTM motorcycle than you will for a car. This difference will be even steeper if you opt for a used model. But the savings don't stop there!

Your monthly gas budget will be lower when you cruise around town on a KTM motorcycle than if you were to drive a car. Motorcycles see much better gas mileage, so you spend less on gas.

Maintenance costs of a KTM motorcycle tend to be cheaper than a car as well. Motorcycles tend to break down less, which means fewer trips to the mechanic. They also have fewer moving parts, so repairs tend to be cheaper.

Finally, your monthly insurance costs will be lower. After all, it's much cheaper for an insurance company to repair a damaged motorcycle than it is to repair a damaged car. The decrease in insurance bills does add up over time!

Performance Benefits

A motorcycle isn't a smaller car. It's an entirely different piece of machinery. Motorcycles use counter steering, which involves leaning to turn. Cars use direct steering, which means turning the steering wheel the direction you go. Motorcycles let you ride in an exposed, open environment. Cars confine you to a metal cage. Motorcycles let you straddle and hug the machine with your legs so you feel in control. Cars have you sit passively in a car far detached from the engine. All this to say, riding a KTM motorcycle is a different experience than driving a car.

The lighter weight and unique handling of a KTM motorcycle means it offers a much improved power-to-weight ratio. You would need to shell out the funds for a luxury sports car to get the same power-to-weight ratio on a car. Enjoy faster acceleration, tighter turns, and improved handling when you hop aboard a motorcycle.

Environmental Benefits

Opting to ride a KTM motorcycle helps you reduce your carbon footprint. First, a motorcycle consumers fewer natural resources to build than a car. Second, a KTM motorcycle burns less fuel and spits out lower amounts of emissions. Each ride on a motorcycle rather than a car is less damaging to the environment.
