Abstract:
This research aimed to study the extent that lifestyles and brand trust affect the decision to choose between Japanese and Italian brands of big bike motorcycles.
The sample group used in this research comprised 413 people who chose big bikes made from Japan and Italy. The instrument used to collect data was a questionnaire. The statistics used to analyze data were mean, standard deviation, and logistic regression analysis at a statistically significant level of .05.
The study results indicated that, overall, the sample group who chose the big bike focused on their lifestyles: sense of appropriateness, fun and enjoyment of life, and warm relationships with others. Moreover, it was found that the factors affecting the decision to choose a big bike brand from either Japan or Italy were fun and enjoyment of life, feeling of success in life, and brand integrity at a statistically significant level of .05.
