Filipinos are increasingly turning to motorcycles and superbikes as a solution to the perpetual issue of traffic congestion in urban areas. The relentless traffic snarls in cities in Metro Manila have led people to seek alternatives that offer speed and convenience.
Motorcycles and superbikes have emerged as practical choices, thanks to their agility in navigating through congested streets, allowing riders to reach their destinations swiftly.
The appeal of big bikes also goes mere practicality. These two-wheelers are seen as fashion statements and symbols of modern masculinity. Their sleek designs and powerful engines attract those who want to make a statement about their style and adventurous spirit.
Riding a superbike aligns with the image of a modern macho man, embodying traits like confidence and daring.
In response to this growing demand and the aspiration of many Filipinos to embrace the big bike lifestyle, Maybank has introduced the Super Bike Loan program. This innovative addition to their Auto Loan offerings aims to facilitate Filipinos’ foray into the world of powerful motorcycles with engine displacements of 400cc and beyond.
The program extends a helping hand through flexible tenor options and a low down payment threshold starting at 20 percent. Loans span 12, 18, 24, and 36 months, with a 0.78 percent monthly interest rate for a three-year term.
The official launch, hosted at Maybank’s Bonifacio Global City headquarters in Taguig, showcased a diverse array of participants, including representatives from various automotive and bike brand partners, top bank executives, and devoted clients. Leading motorcycle brands such as BMW Motorrad, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Husqvarna, and Triumph took center stage during the event.
Although initially available to individual clients in Metro Manila and Luzon, the Super Bike Loan program has ambitious plans to broaden its scope to encompass more bike brands in the near future. This expansion underscores Maybank’s unwavering commitment to meeting the evolving needs of Filipinos, addressing both their mobility concerns amid congestion and their aspirations for a dynamic and stylish lifestyle.
