I would, depending on how you define motorcycle…I’ve casually looked for a cheap 125cc scooter at the right price I just can’t live without. But I never bite…for one, winters here are too long, which makes it feel like a waste of money. On the other hand, a 125cc scooter is actually sort of perfect for here - it’s an older city by American standards, so there are lots of somewhat tight neighborhoods, good reasons to go downtown where space is also at a premium, and even the freeways have a 55mph speed limit out to a fair distance through the suburbs. There also generally aren’t many hills.

But with the prices of 125cc scooters which aren’t characterized, from what I’ve gleaned, as Chinese trash with few parts and few service providers, it’s almost better to just go a size or two up for something more like a Royal Enfield Himalayan, which is my current two-wheel love interest.
