The cost difference
Motorcycles start at RM30 a day against RM80 for a car. For a solo trip around town, a motorcycle saves more than half the cost including fuel.
When a motorcycle fits better
- Solo or two-up travel within a city.
- Islands such as Langkawi and Penang.
- Under 100 km a day.
When a car fits better
- Families with children or elderly passengers.
- Monsoon season and interstate drives.
- Heavy luggage or night travel.
The factor people miss
Malaysian weather turns quickly. If your schedule is tight and rain would derail it, a car buys certainty a motorcycle cannot.
