Why do motorcycles depreciate faster than cars?
Since demand drives manufacturing output, “normal” commuter bikes are going to depreciate faster than cars. Americans get to work on 4 wheels.
Can a motorcycle run faster than a car?
Motorcycles are faster than cars on average due to their high power-to-weight ratio and their small profile which results in less wind resistance and a low drag coefficient. Due to their lightweight, motorcycles also have less momentum at the same speed that a car is travelling, which makes accelerating more effective.
Do bikes last longer than cars?
The simple truth is that motorcycles generally don’t last as long as cars do, and there are many reasons why that’s true. Operating them as they were intended, they will typically see more wear than most car engines do. When operated near redline in sweltering conditions, you can expect even more wear.
Do you think motorcycles turn faster than cars?
Some motorcycles are faster in some ways than some cars. I always thought motorcycles turned faster than cars, but I’ve ridden shotgun in an autocross-prepped (street legal) Fiat X1/9, and it went around corners harder than any bike I’ve ever ridden, and I used to do track days with a sport bike.
What are the advantages of a car over a motorcycle?
The clearest advantage cars have is braking ability. Physics doesn’t favor motorcycles here – the short wheel base, small contact patch, and the tendency for bikes to flip out is not conducive to quick deceleration. Bikes do their best acceleration when the other wheel is basically off the ground.
How much does a motorbike weigh with a car?
It depends on the motorbike and the car. A 600cc sports bike will smoke pretty much any car that costs less than £80,000. This is because motorbikes have an extremely good power to weight ratio. On my motorbike the street weight with me on it is 270kilos.
Can a bike beat a super car?
Great answers so far. Bikes usually gain speed faster, but cars generally have more top speed and beat them on the race track. But since you asked about super cars and not race cars, you may be also interested in their performance on roads. And on this matter I’d say most bikes beat most super cars any time.
