Question:
Curious if this is true & in what way?
Answers:
The standard metric bikes will be a bit cheaper to repair or even replace if something goes terribly wrong. Just like if you had a Ford, Chevy, and so on.
Overall in my opinion motorcycles are cheaper to keep up to answer your overall question.
it's not true.

No, unless it's an old panhead.If you ask a question then why get silly reply like from pilockmong?
You will likely put 10x the miles on your car that you do on the bike, though.
Can i put a motorcycle engine in a go kart?
IT CERTAINLY USED TO BE LIKE THIS IN MY BIKING DAYS 45 YEARS AGO .I USED TO WORK ON MY BIKE EVERY DAY. MUCH OF IT WAS THE DESIRE TO FIDDLE AROUND AND TRY TO MAKE IT GO FASTER, BUT I BELIEVE JUST LIKE CARS THEY ARE BETTER NOWNot really but it is more important to any sort problems asap rather than leaving them untill we get paid/can be bothered like most of us do in with cars.
To you HOG riders out there. Engine heat, and how to lower the temp.?
With a car only a few things put you in real danger such as a brake failure or tyre blowout.
If you have to wear a seatbelt...?
On a bike pretty much every part except the plastics is critical. If your tyres blow you can crash, if your wheel bearing collapses you can crash, if your engine siezes you can crash, if your chain snaps you can crash...ect
Depends on the bike, but NO not 10 times the maintenance of a car. Dude must be mistaking a motorcycle for a helicopter. On a shaft drive or belt drive, they are really easy to maintain. Critical things on a car are even MORE critical on a bike, so it's important to make SURE the maintenance IS done, but on a bike that's all up to snuff you really shouldn't need to do anything for a few thousand miles. It is important to look the bike over, especially the tires and tire pressures every week or two, look for leaks, make sure the lights are all working, etc, but just precautionary, common sense sort of stuff. On a chain drive bike you will have extra work keeping the chain checked to make sure it's tight enough and an occasional chain lube.
Have you ever bought a jphelmet of ebay?
used to be that way when you rode Harley's in 1960s switched to metrics in the 1970s no more oil leaks or pushing bikes home any vehicle needs to be maintained but not that muchWhat is the best brand of canned spray primer and paint to use for painting motorcycle forks?
depends on the bike, how you ride it, and what kind of shape it's in.In my case... we have a toyota corolla, bought new in '02 with 30k miles. Changed the oil every 6000 miles and never had a single problem with it. I also have a '01 CBR with 8k miles bought used. Since buying it:
Put on just 2k miles
Changed the oil
Need to lube the chain and check tension
My tires keep picking up nails...
Needed to replace the fuel pressure regulator and vacuum hose recently
Changed the spark plugs because they were ruined by the bad fpr
Changed the oil again because of blow-by gas from the bad fpr
Changed the map sensor when a crooked shop misdiagnosed the fpr
Honda CBRs are notorious for a problem where the CCT rattles a lot, so I put in an aftermarket one.
Repaired the cracks I made in the tail fairing when I forgot to loosen the bolts before lifting the tank to change the fpr.
What kind of bike should I buy? Sold my old one today. R6 or 600RR? something else?
It is running perfectly now though! In retrospect I wish I had bought a different bike.
Selection criterion for 2-wheel road cruiser(Royal enfield).?
No, they don't. I remember seeing that too. I think it was written by one of those that keeps writing negative things about motorcycles. You know the type.Critical is critical. It's not more critical on a bike, just a heck of a lot easier to notice.
Stolen Honda CBR 1000RR REWARD?
Besides, how would you get 10X? You've got 1/2 the wheels, 1/2 the brakes, 2/3 the lights, 1/4 of the seat, no windows, no doors...
any bike will require some maintance but most of it comes form just enjoying it and trying to keep it clean
No way.Most of it is preventative maintenance and making sure things are in proper adjustment.Metric bikes are usually cheaper to replace but when it comes to replacement parts a Harley is cheaper because of an abundant supply of aftermarket parts.
How much should I expect to pay for a set of stock forks on a KTM 50 LC sr adv.?
Nope... Not true, but it really depends on the bike... Bikes with a rich race heritage are usually temperamental, like KTMs or Ducatis... Japanese bikes and new Triumphs and such, and also Victory, need minimal maintenance depending on how often you ride... If you ride alot, you will need new tires, brake pads, chains, sprockets, spark plugs, and perhaps a clutch. But these things can be done easily and by a competent DIYourselfer...Where is the best place to buy a motorcycle?
Not true at all. Tires generally wear out faster, batteries also don't seem to last as long as car batteries, but that's about it. You never have to change the windshield wipers!More Questions & Answers ...
