I agree with you on the "cheap" side: if I could buy a few cheap motor vehicles, I'd use the smallest one for daily commutes and chores, and keep the big one for longer tours. If motorbikes were cheap, people could even buy two of them and use one between home and the local train station, and the other between the destination train station and work, thus reducing enormously the door-to-door time of the bus-train-bus combination. Imagine how much less traffic would flow on the highways, if people could use mass transit for the long part of the commute and private, fast transit for the first AND last miles...
