[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 3796463, member: 385"] Seriously weigh getting a "gas mileage getter" used car before getting a motor cycle. They really aren't that much more fuel efficient than a basic compact/sub compact car. Cars with standard transmissions are far and few these days. A modern automatic trans will be more fuel efficient. You can drive the car in rain, snow and other climate extremes. You can easily carry the weekly groceries home in it, with room for a few passengers. A motorcycle is very limited in its carry capacity, both people and cargo. To be a little safer out in traffic it needs to be LOUD. Other drivers on the road are often discourteous or downrange dangerous to motorcyclists. A motor cycle needs to stay home in rain, snow and extremely cold weather. Not saying a 'cycle isn't fun because they are. Just won't save you a ton of money over a basic gas getter car. [/QUOTE]
