This is a decision that will ultimately be made based on the economics of price per mile over the life of the vehicle. This would include depreciation, insurance, licensing as well as maintenance costs. Consider availability of parts and service to minimize down time. The issues of safety and comfort must be considered. In Ohio there is snow and cold six months of the year. This could require snow tires or dual sport treads. A liquid cooled engine would allow for a heater core inside a fairing.
