BTW I thought I would add that this switch to motorcycles for some people will only be temporary even if gas prices stay high. Once they have to start paying to maintain the bikes vs. car, a little fuel-efficient cheap car will be much more desirable to non-motorcyclists. Even getting 50 mpg on a bike would probably cost more overall than 30 mpg in a car.
Even with gas at $4, does a bike make sense?
