Hi guys,
I was recently employed and started to think of buying a car or superbike. Which one do u guys recommend? Whats the pros n cons? Fyi, i dont have a car yet and i only have a moped at the moment and i owned a B full license. Currently staying and working in KL.

Regards,
Dilemma Guy

what u currently have now.
isnt a car better for long run at least?.

I currently owned a moped.

Since you already have a moped, ask yourself:
1. Do I actually need a car?
2. Is the superbike a luxury purchase?
3. Do I need either one immediately or can it wait?

Sorry to be blunt, but these are hard times. If you don't need either urgently consider saving up first. At least you'll get more bang for your buck in terms of specs-per-ringgit when the economy improves.

if you are stil young, and below 28, buy a superbike

once you get a girlfriend, you need a car

I am below 28 & have a gf. 😅

The downside of riding a moped is the rain. Im so interested of owning a superbike but a car is also important right.

a lot of uncertainty right now. i suggest u to hold.

while everyone thinks only oil and gas sector affected, sooner or later it will affect all sector as 1/3 our nation income came from this industry. Country has no money. Investor not coming / pulling out. Purchasing power reduced. You wouldnt know what will happen to your company / you.

Unless if you have cash then go ahead bro. YOLO. hahah

car hit bike or bike hit car?
ask urself

I know bike is very cool as a teenager
but safety come first bro！

Car always better than a bike anyway.

Oh my. Same dilemma as me. Lol.

If you are recently employed, stick to your moped. Superbike is a luxury item, and maintenance quite heavy (suits, helmets, road tax, loan, insurance). If you are targeting 1,000 cc superbike please don't take it to work especially KL. Litre bike's engine so much heat when not moving if you stuck in jamm. Manuever also susah.

But syok ah come in office with jacket, full face helmet people admire you...but take my words, that excitement won't last long.

I had a ZX-10 before, used it for work but cannot stand. Ended up as a weekend bike go ride to Genting only.


I would suggest stick to moped and get a car if you can. Don't get trapped in this luxury item thing. With your current status, only go for your needs not wants.

Not really, no. I urge you to hold back on the purchase, at least until things look a little better. Plus, securing a loan is getting difficult with most banks tightening lending requirements. Unless you're earning over RM4500 with no existing commitments, you may not qualify.

If you're going to ignore most of the advice here and buy either one anyway, get the car. It serves more utility than a superbike does.

You suggested me to hold for awhile. But for how long?

depends on what job of field to be exact?

buy car. simple.

think about future. any sedan car is good as long as u owned a car. car is a must nowadays.

when u starting to plan to have a family then u will know.

In the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad this is the first mistake quoted by the author that new grads make, buying liabilities and getting into bad debts instead of buying assets.

Well after so many advice. I've decided to hold on first and probably thinking of buying a car in future.

get cheap second hand car. look for an entry level property. No need multi million unit, just an apartment or single storey house is better than nothing.

car...

safer...

life > all

superbike

chicks like something with super

Do you really need the car / super bike? Or you just want it. It's two different matter. B full license doesn't mean you'd have to ride a super bike. I also have B full, but ride a 125cc scooter to work (15 minute ride only). Convenient and practical. I use my car if the weather doesn't permit safe ride (heavy rain, thunderstorm, bad haze etc).

Short term economy is bleak. Be prudent.
