It shows that motorbikes are widely employed as a primary means of transportation for everyday movement despite the hot environment and frequent downpours, as they discovered that a motorcycle was more effective and efficient due to the congestion. Transport is currently becoming highly important to support all human activities. Because different clients place different values on other brands, the study stresses the need to know about the various motorbike manufacturers and models available on the market. By understanding customer preferences and demands, motorcycle dealers can enhance profitability and buyer satisfaction by offering products that meet or exceed expectations in design, price, availability of special offers, and reliability. The Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process is used in this study to choose the top motorcycle brand names and rate the importance of four criteria. The financial features, promotion and types of motorcycles were employed in this study’s Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) comparison of each motorcycle brand. These criteria are analysed in detail to give buyers essential insights for making well-informed decisions and optimising their daily satisfaction while minimising costs.
