Usually a lower price tag, and depending on some jurisdictions there are other benefits such as a lower taxation or more lenient requirements to obtain a rider license. And for a strictly inner-city usage, fuel-economy still tends to be more favorable overall.

I see many older folks riding motorcycles, even though often they do it more for fun than for commuting or work.

The black one is a 100cc carburettor-fed, the white one is a 110cc already fitted with EFI. For some people the possibility of performing courier service with their own vehicle became a reason to get such small motorcycles, while rising fuel costs and intense traffic have also been a major reason for many to get a motorcycle at least as their secondary vehicle even when they also have a car. And for such usage as a secondary vehicle for shorter inner-city errands, a small motorcycle being "just enough" and with a lower TCO is quite reasonable.
