Which of your vehicles is worth more?

[Usarka]

i just had to insure my car and bike recently. realised my bike is worth three times my piece of shit tintop. why is that i wondered, because a car is to get me from a to b while carrying shit or friends etc while my bike is important to me. as is this beer.

just curious as to others situations.

and i just wanted to create a poll because it looks fun. fuck was i wrong.

[Nasty]

Interesting poll this one .... I got three bikes here
Two are with less than and one is worth the same as the car ....

[Her_C4]

Where is the option to say that they are about the same:gob::dodge:

[Usarka]

Doh. MOD!!!!! :)

[banditrider]

Bike wins.

What about: which do you do more k's on/in?

Bike wins again!

[Bullitt]

I just sold two cars, one for more and one for the same as what I paid for my bike.

Dont own any cars anymore, never thought Id be able to say that.

[robertydog]

Thats easy. The Bike. And whats worse is i keep spending money on it.

Hahahaha meee toooo!!!!! cant go past a awesome bike... the car is for family and grocerys lol

[hXc]

Where is the option for 'my drumkit is more than double my car and my bike put together'?

[Lil_Byte]

Bike is worth the same as all 3 cars combined. :scooter:

[JimO]

one of my work vehicles is worth 50k and it aint a bike

[nudemetalz]

My Pajero, XR-250, DR-250 and YG-1 combined are only just over half the value of the Guzzi.

[jtzzr]

My bike is worth more than my 2 cars and Mrs combined , so my cars are worth more than I thought . p/t

[muzz]

Both bikes on there own are worth more than both truck and car combined.
Gotta have good toys. Ha Ha

[breakaway]

If you didn't vote Bike is worth more you're doing it wrong :p

[bmz2]

van, 2x cars,4x4 and the beast , and the beast and thats only just on $19000, shit i would hate to add up the value of the cars and 4x4

[Daffyd]

I paid about the same for both but methinks the bike is worth more than the cage ATPIT.

[NSR-Dan]

im not sure, my bike has alot spent on it but so does my race car, and does my company car count??? its more expensive than either but i dont technicly own it.

[nudemetalz]

My bike is worth more than my 2 cars and Mrs combined , so my cars are worth more than I thought . p/t

I...err...take it your Mrs doesn't read here...or it'll be a night on your own... :zzzz::bye:

[H00dz]

Sorry all would have love to spend more on my bike then my car but i'm a working stiff on a short leash LOL :headbang:

[McJim]

I can buy about 3 of my car for 1 of my bike.....and my bike is only worth about 6 grand!

The Missus has a 12 grand car though coz that's for transport and safety of the littlies.

[jtzzr]

I...err...take it your Mrs doesn't read here...or it'll be a night on your own... :zzzz::bye:

Right on the money , she does`nt read this stuff , gotta go she`s walking in ..... no no help...if she shoots me make sure the proceeds from my bike go to charity... NO...

[discotex]

+1 for the roughly same..

Soon to remedy that situation by a) selling the Skyline and b) upgrading the ZXR when I get my full :yes:

If I get off my arse and sell the Rx-7 as well I'll be cageless :spudflip:

[lanci]

My hornet is in avg condition, so worth $4.5K tops. My '98 Nissan 200sx is worth about $12.5K and has about $5k of mods on it but you know what..........the bike is a far more enjoyable affair, even if it is a gutless girl I still loves her!

[deanohit]

My Vitara is worth more than my bike but that will be remedied some time in the future.

[NighthawkNZ]

Just added up: My partners car AND bike added together don't add up to my bike... :doh: :slap: :whocares:

[MaxCannon]

The car is worth 4 times more than the bike

My Mrs is none to keen on me spending any more on a new bike.
Tried to tell her that I can't ride forever on a GN250, I'll go nuts if I can't move to something bigger.

Hmmmm... I wanted to take that approach with my wife but just knew Id get told to "keep My Nuts and she'd look for something "Bigger" :shit:

Seriously, for what its worth, we have an agreement to keep both age and price of our chosen vehicles as even as possible...

Im sure it aint as even as she thinks though... its Funny how Family wagons dont "NEED" "accessories" every other week :msn-wink:

[orangeback]

5 BIKES, 1 CAR, 2 UTES, 1 ute belongs to wrk = no f*ckin room :argue:
bike are on the plus side

[SlashWylde]

The bike of course, naturally ;) both in economic and spiritual terms.

[The Lone Rider]

What if they are worth about the same? Bike is worth the same as my car once I added in the repairs it needed when I bought it before it was road worthy. New cam belt, some new electronics. Friken european sports cars are ass expensive to repair!

[jafar]

Both of my bikes are worth more than the car but the car cost more to buy initially.

[ZeroIndex]

I sold my car shortly after I bought a bike... and after a couple of changes of bikes, the latest one got confiscated, so therefore, I have neither... but I do have a new pushbike

[canarlee]

and what about if you got 2 bikes (or more) and only one car?

[Renegade]

the dam twin turbo legacy is worth more but i only use it once or twice a month for long distance travell and only then cos of the amount of crap i take and it drives itself pretty much, but man i love my bike :love: way more.

[Ralph]

Bike is worth more than both cars combined.

[phoenixgtr]

My bikes worth probably about 7 or 8 times as much as my car. Crazy

[SVboy]

Well, I think you can do both. I like cars too! When it is raining,rush hour traffic and you are tired after work, I prefer to be hiding in my cage, cd player set to 'melt eardrums' level and TOOL playing in order to ease away the stress. Then the weekend arrives, car in the garage, bike in the zone.....gee, life dosent get much better......!:clap:

[RC1]

car worth $10k , van for kids taxi $10k , my toy @ $7k , so cars worth more money wise, but partner bought bike so she reckons thats its worth more than both other vehicles,

[vifferman]

I paid too much for my bike. :crybaby:
I don't officially own a car, although #1 Son hasn't paid me for his FixItAgainTonio, so I suppose that could count as mine. So, in order of posessions, it'd be: house, wife's car, wife's bling, the VifFerraRi, #2 Son's 205 GTi, the FixItAgainTonio, then the bicycles.

But I'm hoping to move the VifFerraRi up the food chain a bit by over-capitalising it and making it fatter and heavier (to match my slowly increasing bulk). Did another bit to make the vifferbabe's wallet lighter and the VifFerraRi heavier by purchasing a new rear shock this morning. :niceone:

[Coldrider]

My kwacka is worth as much as my ute, I would need somewhere between a MV Agusta 1000R and a Senna to be equivalent to my car, then there is the wife's car..., suffice to say the MC is the speck at the back of the garage.

[Winter]

Bike is double car value heh.

Car is no longer loved and cared for, it hasn't had a service in a looong time.

[delusionz]

m/c cost $7,000 new. car cost $0.00 + new battery + rego = $130. lol nice eh

[Buddy L]

5 of my ute's and it will just add up to the price of my GSXR.
But i couldn't live without my ute. so handy

[675trippy]

car is worth slightly more in dollars but doesn't compare in personal worth

[90s]

If you didn't vote Bike is worth more you're doing it wrong :p

Well, I'm doing it right, but only because my cage is worth so little.

Would like to buy a newer car, but think getting authorisation for spending the same amount on a bike would be very, very hard!

[675trippy]

My bikes worth probably about 7 or 8 times as much as my car. Crazy

dude you must have one piece of shite car !!!:bleh:

[Toaster]

The shaggin-wagon is worth the most (4 years old) - handy rural vehicle too.

The M109R a close second in value (9 months old) - the beast and my toy.

The sedan third in value (7 years old) - had it since new and not worth selling as it is in excellent condition.

[007XX]

My car is worth more for two reasons, both circumstancial:

a) I use to get my son to school, so HAS to be trustworthy
b) I bought her before I bought my bike :o

But...both are utterly sexy and very much loved by their owner, however, I got to admit I get more purring out of riding my bike. Admitedly, not much more...my beemer is a pleasure driven machine and I've wanted her since I was 15.

[Shadows]

Bike is worth about five times the car in real terms, in emotional terms the difference is greater. Bike probably gets cleaned five times more than the car too.

[mstriumph]

can't help noticing that every post i've read, people are thinking primarily in terms of the $$$ value .....................

that wasn't what first sprang to my mind when i clicked on the thread sooooooooo can we pse have some clarification, Usarka??

did you mean $$$ value?

[inlinefour]

If you didn't vote Bike is worth more you're doing it wrong :p

CBR was brought brand new, DRZ was brought a year old and the van was less than a year old. The van was still worth twice as much as the CBR, and the DRZ just failed to compare in monitry value. However when it came to enjoyment to use, the bikes won every time. The van was good at transporting bikes/sleeping also. Now I have the airtrek, its still worth more than the CBR, but as far as depreciation would go, the CBR would have dropped in value after being ridden out of the showroom and then after its age increased. Its probably only the very lucky that get the chance to upgrade their motorcycle every year, or to get the most expensive available. I am just happy to have brought one brand new sportsbike and I think it would have taken me a very long time to ever want to upgrade it. However if I had more money than a bull can XXXX, I'd quite possibly be buying plenty of toys. Maybe I should buy a lotto ticket this weekend? :(

However the inline wagon has its worth as the KBer support vehicle. Its another great way for Coaster and I to meet all the rest of you. :)

Normally somebody would insure $$$ value.

[mstriumph]

ok you got me :o ........ i read all the posts except the first one :Oops:

$$$ seems like a reasonable guess.

Are you meaning which is more important to you? Given this is a bike forum itd be a realtively one sided question.

[McDuck]

Well the car is worth... well.... bugger all realy, 800 at most. Bike will be worth prob. 2.5k when done? That makes me happy.

[_intense_]

bike is about 10k worth, car about 6k, and thats the way it sould be, and you cant put a value on the pleasure the bike gives

[Cave Cleaner]

Bike is worth three times that of the car, and much more fun. Still need car to do grocery shopping etc and cart 85 yr old mother out etc. (cant see her on the back of a cruiser):wacko:

[Wiki Drifter]

guilty as charged, my cage is worth 3X the value of the bike. But I do 90% of commuting on the bike... might flog off the car next year.

[The Pastor]

bikes worth about 4 times more than the car. And its a 4000$ bike :D

hahaha yeah i did mean $$$ value.

ME so shut up.



















































so what is the prize?

[rudolph]

I bort a very good cond 1993 Honda car for $100.

that wouldn't even get you a fucked farm bike

[fergie]

good question.. they say something is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it. we own an hsv senator ($35k) and a honda bold'or($2k) and value the bike way above the car but enjoy both.

[fireball]

only own a bike and i dont think its worth much now

but id value a bike more than any cage.... they scare me

[Bonez]

Owning cheap shit has it's advantages. The cage cost more than all the bikes in total but is "worth" less than my Cb550f now. Its 17 years younger and a lot less fun to boot. But it is a Honda, so thats ok.

[Bonez]

[klingon]

My bike is worth more than my car. That's VERY scary because my bike is a 1995 Volty. Poor car!
