Should I buy a new motorcycle(apache, kuga, benelli) @ KSH 280K (MAX budget) or an old locally used car(starlet, 110, 100)???....Help me decide.

wachana na io maneno, nunua gari

[Teddy_time]

Buy a car. Period. With 250 - 350k you can get a decent 90s car thats cheap to maintain like AE92 or Ae101.

Motorbike is a no. One minor accident na ww ni quadriplegic. And i believe anyone who has driven a car for a few years has had a minor accident. Wacha fendor ibondeke badala ya spinal cord

A car. Lipa deni pole pole. Used car aka mtumba za Kenya achana nazo labda uwe unataka kuwa mechanic. Otherwise use public means…nduthi = Early death

Tununue mpya ama?

@choclatemonk

kuga 150 will do 45km to 1 liter, kahawa sukari to town and back =1 liter.
alot contributes to accidents on the road and you need to go to riding school, get proper gear ATGATT (ECE helmet, padded reflective jacket, knee guards, gloves na boots) always juu chini, make sure your bike is well maintained and you are 100% sober, scanning your mirrors and escape routes
safety is your responsibility not other users on the road. these you will pick up from riding school and make friends with experienced bikers, learn from them.

You can do all that and one flick by a mathree will send you to the creator or mankind.

Yeah, loan unalipa na five years hata kama ni ten k per month.

280k ni 1866 shots za 150

@cortedivoire

280k ni 1866 shots za 150

:D:D 1866÷7 (as per ktalk standards) and holding other factors constant, that translates to 267 days assuming ni dose ya 7×1.
This means that atakuwa ananukisha rubber almost on a daily basis excluding Sundays (sabbath day must be kept holy)…

@muritugi

hio car ndio gani @SSD_sitonymemoh ya under 400k
Z

Most likely Toyota sprinter 1500cc (1997 YOM) that was the last good model before they messed it up. The 98-2000 models are crap and have issues. Anyway ni gari ya kushikilia ni jipange maisha and gain confidence of the road then in the next one year hopefully 2023 mid-year niupgrade.

Kama si Haojue usinunue bike

@Koolibah

TVS RTR 160 and Benelli TNT are much better in terms of parts and maintenance.

[Kibokoyao]

Don’t get a bike.

I used to ride the big bikes (1000cc) but stopped. Lost too many friends in the last 3 years. I never used to listen to people telling me to quit until I figured it’s just a matter of time before I’m next

Am in my mid-20s and I need some form of transport from Kahawa Sukari to Town and occasionally once or twice a month to my parents home in Nyeri. I know how to ride a motorcycle and that’s what am leaning towards, but some colleagues at work are selling me fear by sending me NTSA motorcycle accident reports on whatapp daily.
What are your thoughts on locally used cars?

PikiPiki itakumaliza ndugu yangu. Kumbuka all hospitals across Kenya wako na Ward Ya Motorbike Accident or Jopeng Ward or Nduthi Ward. Now to me, naweza sema Tafuta a good Toyota Car that is buy and drive. Ile gari nzuri to KAM etc or KAQ etc. Pimp iyo gari vizuri saana and maintain it with good service and spares. Hautaregret. lakini nduthi hapo naona unapunguza lifespan

@Karoga

A small pick up is the best value na hio budget yako,you can use it ,lease it or hire it giving you maximum return on investment

Do you mean the Datsun or Nissan PickUp Kadudu???[ATTACH=full]435323[/ATTACH]

Take my advise with a pinch of salt. I dont own a car.

Si a second hand, low budget car ni red flag. Utakuwa unafika hapo safaripark, you stall.

Maintainance, repairs, parts, etc. You might find yourself using matatus more than you like

@CurrentThing

Get a motorcycle and learn defensive riding skills. Get full gear as well. Be very visible and audible to motorists (lights on, hooting)

You’ll save on fuel, maintenance and time getting stuck in nairobi jams. Above all avoid road rage and give way as much as possible

Slap a Yoshimura because loud pipes save lives…

[choclatemonk]

those who own pick ups… unaweka a bundle of 50 bob notes for everytime a traffic D- material spots you…
looking for a clean 1200 pick up btw…
