Carlos, yes: an enclosed sociable motorbike with heat, slightly more stowage, no need for helmets ... and better handling in the snow!

I found out a friend just got a Mini.

He has a Nissan V6 pickup truck (not the giant one). He changed jobs to one with a 200 km (120 mi) round trip daily commute, so he went looking for a commuter car.

He got the Works edition though - the supercharged one.
