Why arn't more people driving them?

Hell there awesome on fuel $20 to fill and that lasts a long time.

I'am thinking about going and picking up a R6 sometime this month.

If I lived somewere where there was no snow thats all I would drive. Then just buy a crappy $500 car for when you need to haul people around.

insurance is a bish, pretty much negates fuel efficiency

I've been looking for one for a while now. I'm planning on spending around $3000 on one.

One of my friends died on one of them last summer, and 4 other friends crashed theres because of deer, and my brother wrecked his R1 the biker shattered in one million pieces, luckly he was ok, he got blown on the shoulder from strong winds and the bike went down, there fun but not worth my life! And another guy i knew died just 2 miles from his house sitting at a stop sign somebody didnt stop and rear ended him

And if you have SR22 insurance like me, well it runs about 185 a month for full coverage on a bike, thats for me!!!

Insurance on a bike is very reasonable

Thats whats holding me back. Plus you still need an insured car to drive when it rains/when its cold out. The extra money towards having an insured motorcycle could just go towards the increasing cost of gas.

Sometimes it's just not practical for most people to have a motorcycle. I know for my line of work it would be completely impractical because I would have to change and do my hair at work. Plus I wouldn't want to leave and expensive piece of machinery like a motorcycle unattended in a parking lot where I can't see it for 6+ hours a day. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
