Here are 10 things to look for when buying a bike in Bangladesh: Every young person in Bangladesh dreams of buying a motorcycle
Here are some tips to help you get
1. Budget preparation:
Don't dream of a bike that you can't buy. Make a budget. My advice is to always keep an extra Rs 5,000. Suppose you buy a bike for 200,000 rupees. Then budget 205,000 rupees, because after buying a bike with 200,000 rupees, you have to buy theft alarm system, cosmetics care items, cover, rain cloth, helmet, etc.
2. Make a short list of bikes that can be bought within your budget:
Make a short list of bikes that can be found in Bangladesh according to your budget. If the list is long, then shorten it to your liking. Do not like the beautiful look of a bike.
3. Take the advice of someone who has a bike:
Look around, your friends, relatives, neighbors can have a bike. A bike owner will always tell you the real experience about the bike. Ask them about your desired bike. If someone owns a bike that was on your short list, go to them and talk openly about travel experience, spare parts prices, service.
4. Ride the bike of your choice experimentally once
If you want to run a motorcycle experimentally before buying in Bangladesh, you will not get that opportunity to be a showroom. Showrooms in Bangladesh do not have the "test drive" facility. You go to your friends and relatives who have the bike of your choice. A “test drive” will give you the right feeling of riding a bike and it will also help you shorten the list of preferred bikes. One thing to keep in mind, a trip can change your decision.
5. Will I give a discount on mileage?
The answer to this question will depend on the use of the bike and the age of the user. If you are an amateur driver then don't think about mileage. Mileage is a big issue if you are middle-aged and if your purpose is to get to and from the office or out of town. Generally 50-135cc bikes are popular for their mileage and long time use. Office-going people use such bikes.
6. Choose the best selling motorcycle:
Imagine for a second you were transposed into the karmic driven world of Earl. So the main point of this paragraph is to take the best selling bike. Because most users who are satisfied with their bikes can never be stupid. In 2011, Bajaj Pulsar 150cc was the best selling motorcycle in Bangladesh.
6. Location of service center:
Choose a bike that has a service center near your home. A bike is good now, but you can't say when it will be a problem. Suppose you live in Dinajpur but the service station of your used motorcycle company is Gazipur which is about 300 km away. This is called the real trouble situation.
6. Availability of spare parts
A friend of mine bought a Honda CB 650 motorcycle. But after a simple part of the engine is damaged, it turns into a waste to be a nice bike. There is no part of this bike in Bangladesh. So be careful choosing a bike that has a spare parts store and will also give a discount when buying.
9. The position of the bike with the body
Suppose you are 6 feet tall and riding a small bike like Honda 50cc. Which looks like an elephant riding on a rat. So choose a bike that fits your height, which will give you a beautiful look while traveling.
10. Take according to your choice:
Always listen to what your “heart” says ……… ha… ha… ha… yes it is true. Don't buy a bike just thinking about the budget. My advice as well is to wait a while and save money for the bike of your choice. If you buy a bike just thinking about the budget, it will never satisfy you. After a while you must sell the bike and go to buy the bike of your choice. By the middle you will lose a large sum of money. So buy the bike according to your choice.
These are the guidelines to follow when buying a motorcycle in Bangladesh that will help you get the bike of your dreams. In all of the above, I would emphatically say, "Take whatever you like." Stay safe and ride the bike in a cool head.
