The financial advantages of leasing vs. buying a motorcycle

Buying a motorcycle is a dream for many people. But it also involves a budget, fixed costs and logistics.

With the boom in long-term and one-off rental services, more and more motorcyclists are opting for the flexibility of rental.

And financially, it can be a much smarter choice.

1. No financial fixed assets

Buying a motorcycle requires a substantial initial investment: between €4,000 and €15,000 depending on the model.

Then there's the cost of the vehicle registration document, registration fees and any credit charges...

💡 When you rent, you only pay for what you use.

No contribution, no debt, no loss of value on resale.

2. Insurance included

At Good Motors, all rentals include insurance (reasonable excess + assistance).

In comparison, annual insurance for a purchased motorcycle can cost from €300 to €900 / year, depending on your profile.

🛡️ No need to compare quotes or manage claims: everything is handled for you.

3. No maintenance or winterization costs

When you buy a motorcycle, you have to have it serviced every 5,000 to 10,000 km, change the tires, brake pads, chain and battery...

🧰 With rental :

• No maintenance required
• No winter storage if you don't drive in winter
• No time wasted in the garage

‍

Good Motors maintains all its bikes in-house, with rigorous follow-up.

4. You don't pay for a motorcycle that sleeps in the garage

Statistically, a personal motorcycle travels less than 3,000 km a year.

And yet, you continue to pay: insurance, inspection, maintenance, discount...

🔑 When you rent, you only pay for the days you drive.

For a weekend outing, a road trip, or a few months of regular use: rental adapts to your lifestyle.

5. No discount on resale

A new motorcycle loses up to 25% of its value in the first year, and 40-50% after three years.

Not to mention the difficulty of reselling it properly, with a complete history, maintenance booklet...

🧮 Renting totally avoids this problem: you return the bike, period.

6. You can change models whenever you like

Want to try out a trail bike for a road trip? A roadster for the city? A duo bike for a weekend away?

Buying imposes a fixed choice for several years.

🚀 Renting allows :

• Adapt the motorcycle to its currentuse
• Test before you buy
• Variety without constraint

At Good Motors, you have access to over 20 models in all major cities.

7. Rental is 100% deductible for professionals

If you're a self-employed entrepreneur or manager, leasing a business vehicle (including a motorcycle) may be tax-deductible.

💼 An important tax and accounting advantage not to be overlooked.

Conclusion: a true choice of freedom

Renting a motorcycle isn't just a practical solution: it's often an economical, flexible choice with no surprises.

At Good Motors, we offer reliable, recent, well-maintained motorcycles, with a range suitable for all licenses (B + 7h, A2, A).
