Frequently asked questions
What does a bike cost per kilometre?
Typically ₹3–6 per kilometre all in for a commuter motorcycle, against ₹2–2.50 in fuel. Far cheaper than a car, but still roughly double what the fuel alone suggests.
What are the recurring costs people forget?
Chain and sprocket sets, tyres, brake pads, battery and the annual insurance. Individually small, together often as much as a year's fuel on a commuter bike.
Does a bike depreciate as badly as a car?
Proportionally similar in the first two or three years, but the absolute amounts are much smaller. A popular commuter model holds value better than a large or niche machine, which can be hard to sell at any price.
