    Being cheap is the entire benefit. Everything else is just a plus. If you lose the cost it’s not worth it at that point.

      But somehow 20k plus for a vehicle with the added maintenance, gas, inspection, and registration is. Gotcha.

        Never said owning a car was cheap. I said if I have to shell out 5 grand for a bike that I still have to drive without ac/heat in the summer and winter it defeats the purpose.

      It’s still a lot cheaper than a car, and quite a bit faster than a regular bike, but it’s expensive enough you care if it’s stolen.

        I completely understand that but they are routinely damaged or stolen for shits and giggles. Cars have the benefit that a person with some strong scissors cant come steal your car, unless you’re driving a 1998 Honda accord.
