I know this is an old thread but sharing might not harm no one..
I ride motorcycles all the time and I like motorcycles, got me a Suzuki GSF400 Bandit '95 with good condition for $900, but no registration, but it's just for fun ride, which turns out no fun at all, engine crank overheats all the time (I live in the equator, very hot high humidity) until it gave up and eventually broke down, it cost me $1000 just to fix it and that's doing all by myself, on the shop would cost me about $2500 for new parts, until I finally got tired of fixing the overheat all the time, I sold the bike for $1200 to a friend (still sits in his garage for weekend ride) I maintain the engine till present
Now I ride a 125cc Suzuki Hayate scooter, I changed the bore & stroke plus valves to 148.55cc(rounded up to 150cc), installed a fuel injection system, now it's still got good fuel to kilometer ratio up to 1litre of gasoline for every 20km, and more power...
Until my recently found hobby making eletric.I like eletric (actually building one myself now), not too expensive if you build one, plus the experience you get (excitement, depression, etc...) from my calculations, my EV motorcycle project would only cost me about $4500 including the donor motorcycle not including the man hours.
