You need to consider climate and then calculate total average annual cost per mile. I have not found much info on expected economic life of motorcycles either gas or electric. I would suggest 10 years or 100k miles as an estimate. Full fairings will double fuel mileage and protect the rider. Payback for a $2000 fairing may take 75k miles at $3.75 per gallon of gas. I ran some calculations a few years ago that indicated a motorcycle is roughly 25-30% cheaper than driving a small car for a single person commuting.
