[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4089067, member: 15054"] I rode motorcycles to save money on the fuel bill. My bikes were cheap to buy. 400 for my LTD 400 I also had a honda hawk 400 2 speed it was $400. V45 magna 2 years old 1600 miles on it cost me 1600 36 MPG. V65 Magna I spent 200 for it 36 MPG and all those bikes needed was carbs cleaned and tires. Money savers. Now is a $4000 36 MPG bike a money saver? Not for me today as my Toyota cars get 30+ MPG. Back then when I used bikes for saving money my cars got 15 for the Nova 18 for the Olds or the Buick. 27 MPG For the Mustang which the wife drove. None of my cars then had OD transmissions and all of them were carbureted and dead nuts reliable. Put "ALL" the math to the end result and see if you really will save coin. I would get another bike or fix the wifes V45 but it would not save me anything and she no longer rides. My boys have asked about it though. [/QUOTE]
