Due to the sickening traffic problems continuing to haunt Filipino commuters, motorcycles are exponentially gaining popularity. And, if you are considering owning a motorcycle, you probably want to weigh the advantages and disadvantages before you buy. Let me help you decide by reading my list.

  3. Less fuel emissions. Motorcycle tends to be more fuel efficient than most standard cars. So if you want to reduce your carbon footprint, motorcycles might help.
  4. Can fit into tight spaces. when you are stuck in traffic, you can find spaces that only motorcycles can fit.
