For most commuters IMO motorcycle aren't worth it unless you don't own a car, in the US if you are only going to own one it should be a car and car are cheaper per mile in my experience if you own car long term and throw in winters cars win. I get 40 mpg with my Cobalt paid, $7000 for it, 200,000+ mile later still running. I put about 100,000 miles one misc bikes before it never broke 45 mpg, on some tires cost more per mile the gas. Much of US is too spread out for public transit

The majority won't buy a junkier bike or replace their own oil etc.... Bikes are expensive. maybe not there but for the majority bikes are toys and dealers charge accordingly.
