I have several different bikes and two cars to choose from. I lean toward the two wheelers for the riding experience but also because the best two motorcycles are almost three times as fuel efficient as my best car. Of the two, one has a top speed of 68 mph (the PCX) and so is relegated to travel up the back roads. The CBR250R has a top speed of 95 mph which allows me to use the Interstate. If I have to chase up to the tail end o the next group, or maintain 65 mph up the steep hills, the 250 can easily do it. Cruising the Interstate at 68mph with a blocker up the road in front of me is much, much safer than forging out alone after dark on the back roads. So I always choose the CBR. It is real world capable.
