With summer here many commuters often consider the advantages of taking to the open road on two wheels instead of four. The warm weather is great for motorbike journeys and adds an extra incentive to getting a bike.

There are many practical advantages to riding a motorcycle over a car also.

Filtering Through Traffic

Riding a motorcycle gives the ability to filter through traffic. This basically means you can overtake stationary vehicles that are caught in traffic. Never que in traffic again with a motorbike.

Extra Speed And Acceleration 

Motorcycles are fast. The extra speed and acceleration can be quite shocking if you are used to standard cars. While the speed is dangerous it saves you a lot of time that would otherwise be spent on the road.

Reduced Road Tax, MOT And Insurance

Compared to a car road tax, MOT and insurance prices are considerably lower. This is often reason alone for some to switch to motorcycle riding.
