i have a 10 year old car with 60k. i haven't commuted in a car for 11 years. i've put 115,000 miles on my motorcycles in the last 4 years splitting lanes in the sf bay area. riding is the only way to go. weather is not an issue. rain or shine. my 1 con is car drivers.

As long as you don't dream a motorcycle will commute cheaper, is it OK. A Motorcycle is way more expensive than an automobile. Automobile Tires last 60T miles for about 400-500 dollar mounted and ballanced. Motorcycle tires last 8T-11T and cost mounted and balanced 500-800 dollar. Oil changes cannot be made on a cheap oil change station. You have to go in a motorcycle shop and if you do it in your garage, motorcycle oil cost twice as much than the expensive stuff for an automobile. I could go on. Light Bulbs because of the vibration, protecting gear. You don't wanna tell me you riding in high traffic without a decent gear? No, - Helmet and Gloves doesn't do the trick, consider on a motorcycle a fender bender doesn't exist, your knee and hips are your fender. And so on. Motorcycle riding is fun. I have 2 Motorcycles and a scooter. Yes I commute if I can. But riding a motorcycle comes very expensive.
@herrmahlzahn69243 жыл бұрын
@Dual ADV Lucky you being able to mount your tires. My bill looks like this. Michelin Commander II $ 218.00 Tube $ 34.00 Mounting and balance $ 50.00 + Tax you looking easy into 320 Dollars for the rear tire. Not mention the front tire. Oil change cost about $ 60.00 Saying Hi and shaking the hand of the Mechanik 15 Dollars. Lucky you living on a farm or having a full blown Mechanik garage in your house. The rest of us don't, I'm to old layiomg on the floor and nestling with tools in the rain. Others live in an apartment have a problem checking the tire pressiere without someone complaining to the front office.
@herrmahlzahn69243 жыл бұрын
@Dual ADV I assumed based on your post. OK, than I say it different. Lucky you that lives in a set up where it is possible to service/repair and wash an vehicle. My son lives in Houston and is on Grande not allowed to service/repair/or clean any vehicle. Cleaning the inside of the window lil KIA could cost him trouble that never ends. My neighbor had ordered in the web some Tires for his scooter. Since Sept 20 he is calling every motorcycle place, every tire place and ask how much it will cost to mount the tires on his scooter. You will be surprised how many of those places don't even Adept the work and if they do, that will be the moste expensive tire mount in the history of Texas. So he endet up going to Yamaha and let them put some Pirellis on the bike. The cheapos from the web now in the garden. The wife will plant flowers in it. LoL.So some of us will be able to do all this stuff. Others don't for many reason. And if I think of Rosemarie with her Honda Rebell 500 and the friends from High school starting to maintain her Bike, I will not be on the road when she is. She have to go to a shop. Thas better for everyone involved. So you cant say becaus you can put tires on your bike, others can too. Even if I could, I had to count (based on my driving) 2 rear tires and a front in a season. That wouyld be only tires 2 times 218+Tax, one time 198+ Tax for Michelin Commander II tires. Compaired with my Ford Fusion 1 Times Pirelly out of the store for about 500 Dollar but 65 Miles warranty on it. If you able, you could count that the 4 car tires last the bike tires 5 times. My Motorcycle makes 46-48mpg 93 octan, while my Focus takes 42 mpg 86 octan. Motorcycles are not cheaper to run even if somegremlins crawling at night out of the ground and do the work for you.

At 7:14 - if you ride a scooter with a tall windscreen like me, your helmet and body do not get wet. I HATE looking through windscreens, so I cut my tall windscreen down to just below my eye level, so that I look *over* the windscreen and not through it. Because of the aerodynamics, the wind and rain kick up to just over your helmet so that the top of your helmet will stay dry. Tall windscreens typically bump out to cover the hand grips so your hands stay warm and dry in the winter rain. Of course you will get wet when stopped. If you drive a motorcycle your legs will still get wet but scooter leg shields keep your legs dry. I highly recommend considering a scooter for a daily work commute. I completely understand that scooters are considered less masculine by a few, but that doesn't bother me at all. I'd also point out that 150 - 300cc scooters with 12-inch wheels handle way better than a motorcycle in urban settings and tight turns. Scooters also have under seat storage. Motorcycles with 16/17-inch wheels totally outperform scooters for highway driving, although a Piaggio BV 400cc scooter would do pretty well for long freeway work commuting too.

Depends where you live. If you live in Houston, NJC or Chicago may be. If you live outside the big metropolitan areas it's a NO. Depending on your situation. It is 60% more likely that you get serious hurt in a motorcycle accident and you end up in a nursing home than in an automobile. And 60 miles per gallon super duper premium? Really? A Honda Prius or similar is way better and runs on 83 basic stuff. Just take here the calculator out. You have to count the cost of maintenance. Motorcycles need way more maintenance than an automobile and therefore are way more expensive to keep running. Sorry it's a fakt. You have to see your situation and you should take out a calculator, before you would be surprised. Motorcycle vs automobile well if you like wind, weather , rain, insane heat, freezing cold and the danger being seriously hurt, go for it. I ride motorcycles but I have a Ford Fusion back up. Seriously I mean.... And London, Berlin or Paris Rome riding scooters and mopeds? The 1940 and 1950 are over. Don't you realize? It's a myth, like the people in Europe say all Americans running around with a pistol belt, cowboy hat and booths. Well the Europeans don't need a private means of transportation at all, they use, busses, traines, high speed trains to go somewhere. Mopeds are only for fun rides, but that would be a different story. You can in Europe (for weather reasons) only ride a motorcycle, scooter etc for 5 months a year. When you rode a motorcycle in Berlin in the autunum, winter and spring, I promise you, you sell that thing in an instant after the first Oktober/November - March/April ride. Just saying. A scooter, motorcycle is a great Idea if your situation fits. If not and you like it anyway then take it as a hobby. Others buying for 1000 of Dollars computer equipment to simulate flights, race cars and/or whatever and don't even leave the room. I have a scooter and 2 motorcycles not because its a necessity or it is economical.. I have it for fun as a hobby and I enjoy it very much.

Boys always buy a car first before motorcycle. Im from a third world country and every guy owns a bike. My friend bought an old Mercedes-Benz dl200 and all the girls are now his. Remember car first.

No, they are not. I have a manual car. Bike is easily 100x better. A manual car is a yawn feast compared to a bike.

A manual car is more fun compared to an automatic, but a bike is easily more fun compared to a manual. If you think a manual is more fun, you obviously havent been on a bike, or you prefer yawn feasts.
