Yep, difficult to consider a motorcycle getting only 60mpg when my car will get at (or nearly) the same FE while being a heck of a lot more comfortable, can carry more people and stuff, and is a lot more protective (from weather and other wandering vehicles). Yes, there are a few motorcycles that can get over 60mpg regularly, but of the 20 that do on this board, there are only 2 that I would find enjoyable to ride in the area I live.
