Considerations while purchasing a bike

If I had to buy a bike from a dealership, then I would have to take a lot of things into consideration. First of all, the reputation of the source matters the most. I would first check which dealership has been rated the best in the market. Second of all, the vested interest of the source should be taken into consideration. Vested interest refers to the benefit that the source is supposed to get from helping me to take decisions. In other words, it is the cut or compensation for the source for taking their help to make a decision. Suppose, if I had to start investing or take advice to start something like a business let's say, then I would rather listen to Sandeep Maheswari than Tai Lopez. Do you know why? it's because credibility has to do with the vested interest. The more vested interest is, the less credible the source would be. Sandeep Maheswari has zero vested interest so he is more credible to take advice from. On the other hand, we have Tai Lopez who has a big amount of vested interest in giving us hand. Therefore, Tai Lopez is not a credible source to take advice from. Similarly, I would check the vested interest of the source which in this case would be a dealer of the vehicle dealership, I would pay attention to whether the dealer is really trying to help me or just trying to make his pocket warm. The expertise of the source has to be taken into account as well. If the dealer or let's say my friend does not know anything about the features of the bike, then they would not be a good source to take advice from. For example, if they are not sure which bike should I ride according to my interest, about the mileage, horsepower, which technology the engine is based on, or how eco-friendly the bike is, how heavy it is to ride, how comfortable the seats or suspensions are, how good the braking system is, and so on, then I would not buy the bike. In contrast, they explain the features of the bike or everything that I ask eloquently and descriptively then I could trust them. Furthermore, the nature of the claim is another thing that I have to take into consideration. If they make a descriptive claim about the bike and simply let me decide then it would be helpful. However, if they make normative, subjective, or biased claims then that would not be much harder for me to decide. Finally, how credible reasons the dealer, my friend, or the advisor provides to me take a specific decision would matter in the case. Apart from this, I would first be well-informed regarding the features and price of motorbikes before going to the dealer so I could judge how credible advice those sources can present. More or fewer things can be taken into account depending on the necessity of the case.
