I think Petehammer has long since gone. Probably made up his mind.
Ultimately you must love to ride to make it truly a worth wile purchase. It also depends on what your were spending in the first place. My riding just about every day, financially did pay off. I get 45 to 50mpg on my SV650 but I was used to spending $100 to $250 dollars a week in fuel! I was driving 300 to 400miles a week and 50% of it in town (city). (so obviously a very poor mpg vehicle in the first place)
Now I travel 150 to 200 miles. Even after tire costs, gear etc., it has paid off. But I also love to ride. Our winters aren't to horrible here and lately I've been driving in below zero temps. (that's rather unusual for here) As long as there is no ice, I'm good. It's a life style choice however. So the financial is not the goal. There are web sites dedicated to all weather riders. Those living in the Scandinavian countries that ride all year long are crazier than me.
So take what you will from this information!
