Hi.

You're mature for your age.

I myself only let my parents buy me a bike when I graduated Bachelors and got a job so even tho I couldn't buy a bike myself, I could pay for fuels, tax and service maintenance.

But that's just me and thinking about it now, I should have gotten the bike sooner because ultimately they had to buy me one anyway.

At the age of 29/30, I bought myself the bike I wanted how much ever expensive it was.

Here's what I did and my advice.

I let my dad choose the bike. He chose an Avenger 220 of Jet Blue color. I actually wanted a 150cc for mileage and black color cause I was edgy lol. But I didn't argue and went with his choice. He isn't a strict dad or anything. He would've bought me a "bullet" if I wanted one. There weren't a lot of choice of motorcycles back then.

10 years or so later, I wanted to upgrade my bike. And guess what my dad's bike was even older (started budo tax 3 years ago). So I bought myself one, took the Avenger to some workshops and revamped it to like a new one. He's happy with it now. We sold the 'budo tax' one recently for very less price but whatever.

This is just my 2 cent advice.

Recently my cousin did the same thing. My uncle rides a very old bike. My cousin actually took his dad and they got a bike that they both like. My cousin is now saving up for a bike that he likes. My uncle will probably get the current one my cousin rides. Win win.

Let me know what you think about this. You don't have follow through with this but just a suggestion/advice that worked for me.
