i save 6k in 4 years by riding, now if you factor the tires, chains sprocket, insurance.....

[Gunther1000]

Tires tires tires... Really high priced Oil... You may save Something but :idk:

Biggest problem is the Pleasure miles.

If I only rode my bike out of necessity, then it would be a savings. But I ride for fun, cause that's the point, so it probalby comes close to equaling out in the end.

You figure in the regular maintenance costs of both vehicles and the gap closes significantly. That being said, you can still save a shitload of money...

[Mr Lefty]

now what would it be if you rode a little 250 that gets 70 mpg... the tires last a hell of a lot longer... and your maintenance is cheap and easily a DIY...


going on keeping my truck 5 years.. and driving/riding 35k a year... I save 3600 a YEAR... or 18000 in 5 years!

even with my ZZR I still save 9K... even if I spend 1K a year on maintenance shit... I'm still 4K's a head

For me its killer... being my bike gets at LEAST double what the SS gets.

That being said... Every other week when I'm at work I have a work truck so that eliminates that entire week of even sitting in my SS while it sits at work in the garage.

My bike gets like 45 and my car gets 17. I think I am losing money overall because 80 percent of my riding I wouldn't do in my car either, ie fun miles.

[Mrs. Colleen]

My Civic gets about 30 around town and the bike only gets 35...and considering I only drive about 8000 miles a year it said I could save $100. :lol:

But I have been driving the Miata much more which would make a bigger difference.

The bike has become purely a toy since we got the Miata. :whistle:

[Cutty72]

when did you get a miata?

[Mrs. Colleen]

when did you get a miata?

In May. Added the wheels, tires, and roll bar shortly after. :cheers:
