Posted on

If there’s one thing that every biker can agree on, it's the fact that the feeling of freedom when driving down an open road is unmatched and can’t be replicated. This is why most bikers stick to motorcycles.

However, if you are a biker in the market for a car, all hope is not lost. You can get a car whose satisfaction and adventure when driving are not too far from the experience when riding. Here are the top 6 cars you can consider getting as a biker.  White Ford Bronco Parked on Urban Street - pexels-photo-29753514

Ford Bronco

The Ford Bronco is a favorite SUV for lovers of outdoor adventures. It has numerous features that make it an ideal option for a biker looking to get a car — from the removable rooftop and the availability of various terrain modes to the rugged retro styling paired with the most modern technology. The terrain modes include rock crawl mud/ruts, eco, slippery and sand, baja, sport, and normal, meaning that wherever the adventure takes you, navigation will not be a challenge.

The base option for the Ford Bronco comes with a 300-horsepower 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with the options of either a 7-speed manual transmission with ultra-low "crawler” gear or a 10-speed automatic. The uplevel option, on the other hand, has a 330-horsepower 2.7-litre V6 that is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Subaru Outback

Regarding off-road capabilities, the Subaru Outback does not perform as well as most of the cars on this list. However, it is the perfect combination for light off-roading as an all-wheel drive with maximum interior comfort. The Outback has a spacious cargo area of 32.5 cubic feet with the rear seats upright and 75.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

When it comes to driving power, you can opt for a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine option that delivers 182 horsepower or the 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine option that produces 260 horsepower. Whichever you go for, you can explore dirty roads, light trails, and even snow to keep your biker's adventurous spirit alive.

Chevrolet Corvette

When it comes to sports cars, the appellation for bikers has nothing to do with transporting bikes or the ability to go on adventures on rough terrain. It is all about the speed. The Chevrolet Corvette stands out with its sleek design and low stance. It exudes power when driving and offers a thrilling experience. The standard model is powered by a 6.2L V8 engine that delivers 495 horsepower.

Driving fast with the windows down is the closest you will get to feeling like you are riding a motorcycle while driving. If you are also into placing wagers, driving a Chevrolet Corvette is as exciting as finding a casino website offering maximum bonuses.

This is another sports car that appeals to bikers purely for its performance and the thrilling driving experience it offers. This muscle car features a powerful 5.0L V8 engine that delivers  450 horsepower.

If you are a lover of cruiser motorcycles, then the iconic style of the Ford Mustang is right up your alley. The Ford Mustang offers great handling and high-performance driving, similar to the experience of riding a motorcycle.

Jeep Gladiator 

This is the truck version of the Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep Gladiator is an unlimited sport utility vehicle that features high clearance and great suspension. The five-link suspension in the front and rear, as well as electronic locking differentials, speak to its off-roading prowess.

The truck comes with a versatile cargo box, making it an ideal car for transporting your bike. The base engine for the Gladiator is a 3.6-litre V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower. However, you also have the option of a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 engine that delivers 260 horsepower. You can enjoy driving the manual option with the standard 6-speed manual transmission or go for the automatic 8-speed option.

Toyota Tacoma 

For almost two decades, the Toyota Tacoma has held the record as the bestselling midsize pickup in the US. This is no surprise, as it has off-road capabilities, is a reliable pickup, and delivers a great driving experience. It is perfect for navigating tough terrain and remote areas while offering plenty of space to haul your bike and gear.

The Toyota Tacoma pickup is available in two models, the extended Access Cab and the four-door Double Cab. You can also choose between the rear-drive or part-time four-wheel drive option. When it comes to power, two great options are available: the 2.7-litre, 159-horsepower four-cylinder engine that has an eight-speed automatic transmission or the 3.5-litre V6 that produces 278 horsepower.

If your main priorities for getting a car as a biker are the capacity to carry bikes, the ability to navigate through rough terrain for adventures, and the same rugged appeal as motorcycles, then any SUV or pickup listed above would be perfect for you. However, if you are seeking speed and high performance to replicate the feeling of riding, then one of the two best sports cars mentioned above is what you should be looking into getting.
