Hehe at 15k miles annual on the Rebel the gas cost would be just $50 less than the bike cost ($750 gas-$800 bike), so those two combined would be 10.3 cents a mile. Insurance and tags-taxes would add another $150 so that would be another penny a mile. Lets say 11.3 cents a mile total with the purchase price fully recovered by the time it has 16,075 miles on the odometer.
I am piling the miles on her at 50+ a day or 1500 a month. The car has barely gone 400 in the last month when the weather was to bad for the bike. Saving 90 a month in gas compared to the car.
Working on improving the mileage on the bike with coasting and rider position. Trying a lean back style, with shifting my butt up right against the tank. Seems to make a significant difference.
