I Want to Buy a Two-Wheeler Vehicle. How Should I Proceed?

Do a Quick Survey of the Two-Wheeler Market

• Physical: 

It is important that you visit stores and showrooms, get a feel and look of the vehicle, and talk to the salesperson about the features as well as other necessary details. Check the space, the size, and functionalities of the vehicle yourself before making any final decisions. The sales and vehicle experts at the showroom will also help you make the right choice as per your requirement.

• Online: 

Technically, this step should be done before the physical research. You can check the market and the two-wheelers that suit your requirement by keying in your choices and preferences. The advantage of online research is that it is easily available and shows an array of options from where you can choose and decide. You can also read reviews (look for the ones that read genuine) that will save you from making a bad choice. By checking out online, you can gain all the information about the two-wheeler’s specifications and the pricing model. 

1. Determine Your Budget

 While it may be tempting to stretch your budget and overspend on your prized two-wheeler, it is important to know the requirement and utility of the vehicle. It is also important that you determine your budget before you choose a bike or any two-wheeler of your choice. If the vehicle checks all the boxes of having a great mileage, looks aesthetically pleasing, can be handled by you- the rider and fits your wallet, then there is no reason to move on to the more expensive one. Be sensible.  

2. Narrow in on Your Bike 

If you need to travel to your office, then you do not require a speed-monster. Similarly, for racing, you need something more than a simple mileage two-wheeler. Aside from these obvious differences, narrow down your bike to usability, performance, vitality, robust exterior, predicted longevity, cost, and payment options that suit you.

3. Go for a Test Drive

 Without going on a test drive, it is simply unwise to zero in on the vehicle of your choice. Therefore, before you finalize a two-wheeler of your choice, take it for a spin and see if you are satisfied after riding it. 

4. Make the Payment - Cash vs. Loan

 Today, buying a two-wheeler does not mean you need to empty your account. You have flexible options like two-wheeler loan to help you course through the hefty payment. Many showrooms and automobile companies have tied up with financial institutions, which make the loan process easier and more transparent. However, if you want, you can always make an upfront payment in cash and own the bike in one go. 

Conclusion (Bring the Bike Home)

 Before you zero in on the bike of your choice, make sure you have a clear understanding of the formalities, servicing and other aspects relevant to the vehicle. If you have taken a loan, ensure you have a sufficient amount in your account to make the payment. Take your two-wheeler to regular servicing, keep it guarded against environmental as well as other hazards. Regular servicing will keep it humming at an optimal pace. 

Now take your bike for a spin! Moreover, do not forget your helmet!
