Six Bargain Commuters for 2019 1

Get the most out of your money with one of these motorcycles

Every motorcycle can become a commuter if you are determined enough, but that will ruin the whole idea of everyday commuting – an easy to ride and economical bike. When I say economic I am not necessarily referring to fuel consumption. Im also referring to the acquisition price that plays a crucial role.

The decisive criteria behind this top is the amount of extra features you get when buying the bike, the reliability, the manoeuvrability, the fuel consumption and the ability to handle highway riding. Based on these I put together five bargain new motorcycles under $9000.

BMW G310GS – $4,750

This small BMW adventure bike is fun to ride and it suits the job perfectly. With a price tag of only $4,750, the G310R is more than a fair package that features ABS and an impressive fuel economy. The 313 cc engine delivers enough power to cover highways and, it feels lightweight and maneuvrable enough to tackle the traffic. The riding position is another big advantage that will allow you to ride all day long. For some extra money, you can go for the Adventure version – the G310GS costs $5,795 and come with better comfort, a bigger front wheel and increased weather protection.
