On my trips to Bali, I am always surprised at metting locals who have bought motorcycles (sepeda motor) on credit. Though they have a KTP (Indonesian Identity Card), they have no job or income, but the motorcycle companies have no hesitation in giving them credit.
I met one lady who had bought a Yamaha Jupiter, without a job or income and was very proud of her bike as it was larger than her neighbours. She had no idea of how she was going to pay for it.
Last September, the price of a Honda Vario CW was Rp 14.98 juta and a Vario Techno CBS for Rp 15.63 juta.
A cheaper bike is the Suzuki Smash. I always found the name amusing.
