Being able to walk, bike, or take a short bus ride to run your errands is MILES better than having to drive a car everywhere. I finally landed a job that lets me take the subway into the city for work and it's way more pleasant.

Let's not forget the most impactful element of only having motorcycles without cars, Darwin would take care of our over population problem sharp quick!

From an urban planning perspective I'm curious about using motorcycles as a stop gap between car dependent and walkable cities. Many American cities are rendered unwalkable by the size of parking lots. Stores could be closer together, except you need an 8 by 12 slab of pavement per customer and space to move between those slabs. If you could assume a significantly percentage of those people will only need 1/3-1/4 of that space you can make the parking lot smaller and fill the freed up space with stuff that adds value (stores, restaurants, apartments, parks. Whatever) meaning there is more of value within walking or biking distance of any random point in a city so people can drive less and need less parking, until you get to some better equilibrium between asphalt and useful stuff.

That is just stupid and dangerous

You just can see top notch technology on cars, not on motorbike. And the most important thing about travel/transport/commute,... is SAFE, and I think we all know which one is the winner here. You can choose something for fast, for saving money, convenience,... but it means nothing if you take higher risk of accident. When you ride a motorbike, you cover the bike, but when you drive a car, the car cover you, just think about that. My opinion, I want both, car for my family trip or when the weather is bad, motorbike for myself when i dont need to take a long ride.

There's more benefits to drive a car than a motorcycle but I advocate to get both.

MPG has a lot of factors; engine size is a small one. I get around 60mpg with my HD Street Bob on my work commute. That's a 1900cc engine and a fairly heavy ride. I ride it light on the RPMs during my commute and it has plenty of low end power to keep the MPG low. During the winter I need to drive my truck, which I need to own for numerous reasons. I only get around 25mpg in that thing while staying between 1000-1500rpm. I much prefer the bike commute for many reasons. Fuel savings is just one of them.

A lot of people think I'm crazy when I say all I drive is a motorcycle, I feel way more comfortable driving a motorcycle because its easier to weave in traffic. Plus I rather drive a nice bike than a bust down car. 💯💪🏾🙏🏽🤔

yammie hatting on cars but also living in texas driving his truck 95% of the time is verry funny

Me yesterday: ah yes, a bike... that is fragile Me now: Ah yes a car that is expensive.

Ig the only benefits to a car I can see are the little extra safety and ability to take a few passengers/lots of luggage everywhere. And ofc the roof

I sold my car now I’ll buy Motorcycles

Finally. Im getting a bike not be "cool". Theyre just more practical. I used to work construction and had a tiny Veloster hatchback loaded with tools. So many older guys had big beefy V8s to "haul" but had less than half my work schedule and less the half my tools "hauled". It made me realise how useless cars are. Outside of work, i didnt want to keep driving in traffic. I got 33mpg thanks to being catless and no muffler (lol) which helped a lot. I wanted a bike for self transportation and WAYYYYY easier parking. Im very into cars and cornering and loud engines, but fun and practical have a very solid line and people constantly want to mix them. Bike for practicality. And maybe an older car for necessity

I was looking up different things for motorcycles and wondered about the coefficient of drag of a bike and it turns out that something like a fully farred race bike with a rider in full tuck gets worse cd than a 90s chevy boxy suv. It gets much worse than that for large cruisers with riders that are sitting upright and that have bags on them as well. It is just something interesting that I encountered.

Smaller frontal area though, so the drag force overall is lower.

Car is only good for me for going out of town now! I cycle to my job. And I ride my motorcycle to my job as well.

So use the best tool for each situation.

I've been thinking on buying a motorcycle for my daily use over here in Honduras. Traffic is getting nasty due to so many cars and my workplace is in the neighboring city. I might go the Apache RTR 200 CC 4V just for the fun of it. It's a solid 2500 USD here but I can buy it on a leasing agreement. Any thoughts on this purchase would be cool

to get to anything on a modern car requires the taking off of covers, panels, and a lot of clips. It is a pain especially if you come from an older car (like before the 90s) or motorcycles

If Harleys did not exist, the average MPG would rise, the average MSRP would be lower, the average space would be less, average maintenance would bess less. For new riders, is like owning an 1998 V8 Ford expedition.

Motorcycles take a higher amount of skill, attention, and coordination to drive. Also, it requires one to be in some kinda shape. Lastly, you have to deal with the elements. Your average unaware, uncoordinated, inattentive slob, at best, doesn't want to deal with that, and, at worst, will die because they can't manage it. I've been to South East Asia multiple times and those countries are built around motorbiking. It's magical in an utterly bat shit crazy kind of way. Lane filtering, splitting, dynamic lane shifts all happen at a much greater and chaotic level. It's very normal there, but it is very cultural and quite frankly requires everyone to attune to a far greater level of situational awareness, coordination, that is much beyond the comprehension of your typical American driver. Motorbike countries are tons of fun and very convenient, but it would require a culture shift that most Americans would resist. Quite frankly it would never happen in the US.

So....£5,000 for a motorcycle plus £2,000 - £5,000 for goretex textiles, leathers, goretex boots, goretex gloves, jeans, boots, summer gloves, summer boots, summer textiles and a helmet etc. Parking is free, no tolls and fuel economy us great and no waiting in traffic but.....having a driving licence will give you more job opportunities.
