Big Til Posted October 25, 2010 Share Ok, so i thought it would be interesting to compare car and bike price ratio's. (as we always say we dont have money for a new car) my current car is a 98 Corolla which i bought in my first year of working for 30k, my bike is a entry level hardtail i bought for 6k, this 5:1 ratio, what's your's?

Zaskar09 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Ok, so i thought it would be interesting to compare car and bike price ratio's.

'04 Corsa 50k, hardtail at 15k so roughly 3:1. I saw a Beetle (the old one, not the fancy new one with the flower pot) with a Cannondale Flash on the back, wonder what his ratio is!

The Saint Posted October 25, 2010 Share My car is standing at the Outsurance yard so right now I think my bike is worth more than my car so it is 1:30 ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted October 25, 2010 Share Oops, mine 2:1 (this is for my 2 bikes combined, all based on purchase price) Either I'm spending too much on bikes or too little money on my car. I like to think its the latter :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs their head read. He has to spend a much longer time on that saddle than any of the pro's do so he is more deserving of comfy shorts! I'm on about 7:1 including both my bikes I guess (all this does is give me another way to justify spending money on my bikes!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love seeing an old vrot car with an expensive bike on the back. My ratio about 5:1 Edited October 25, 2010 by Skirminkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistler Posted October 25, 2010 Share Depends on what car I use, mine or my late Grandfather's '84 Corolla (great car); the Car:Bike ratios can be 3.5:1 OR 0.75:1. (Based on the latest offer for the corolla) Edited October 25, 2010 by whistler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meis Posted October 25, 2010 Share Mine is about 19:1, but in saying that. I'm a bit of a gadget freak, so I paid more for my first HR monitor than my first bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apemanscolony Posted October 25, 2010 Share Yeah its scary if u compare the prices. If u c a vrot car with a high end bike @ the back, u know then the guy/woman priorities is on the right track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJDB Posted October 25, 2010 Share Never thought of it that way. My two bikes and Vespa is worth more than my vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
