If you really use your bike, you'll need to spend at least $1k for one. I spent a year commuting on a ~$1000 bike and it needed close to $1k worth of parts a year. I switched to a $10K bike (bought much cheaper at an importer closeout), and it's still original and problem free. If you do high miles, a $300 bike will pretty soon be a $1000 bike.

I don't know why you'd bother with a motorbike when you can get the same economy out of a complete car.
