Riding a motorcycle is a popular way to travel. A motorcycle often has better acceleration than the fastest car. A motorcycle is easier to mend than a car; most parts of the engine are not too difficult to reach. A motorcycle is faster in heavy traffic. It’s smaller than a car, so it can avoid traffic jams and can speed ahead while the cars wait. A motor cycle is cheaper to run – you need less petrol per mile for a motorcycle than for most cars.
