Question

Are you considering buying a motorcycle to get better gas milege?

Answer 1

I ride a motocycle purely for the pleasure of it.  The fact that it also saves gas, is just a bonus.

Answer 2

nope, bought a motorcycle cause i wanted a motorcycle

Answer 3

Nope.  I used to ride when I lived on an Air Force base, but now there's no way I'd get a motorcycle.  Too many idiots on the road, and I've seen several accidents where a rider was seriously injured or killed when he/she got hit by a car, and the drivers all said the same thing:  "I didn't see him/her!"  Gee, maybe that was because you weren't looking...

Answer 4

I bought mine before gas prices started going really high, but I do ride it to work more now. I also see a lot of first time riders in the shops these days and I'm sure that is the motivation for many of them. It is also a good excuse for guys that always wanted a bike to justify buying one to their wife. Like SID pointed out, if you plan to do this consider how long it will take to realize an ROI.

Answer 5

yes spend several thousands of dollars to save gas !

like idiot 1 , mag s buy a bike cause you enjoy riding !

Answer 6

Nope.  I started riding when fuel was much cheaper.  I ride for the pleasure of riding.  The fuel savings is just a bonus.

Answer 7

No, A true biker rides for the love of riding.

Answer 8

Like everyone else, dual purpose. I am living MY life now. I raised three kids and have four grandkids and looking forward to a couple more. I drive to work on it every day it isn't raining and ride in the afternoons for enjoyment. I will say that even with the extra riding, my monthly gas card bill is cut well over half.

Answer 9

No. I ride because I enjoy it.

It doesn't get that much better mileage to make it worth it to get just to save $ on gas.

When you factor in other expenses, although minimal, having a m/c requires, the gas savings disappears.
