Motorcycles definitely are very convenient. Power to weight ratio is great, easier to maneuver in a city, has better parking options, gets great gas mileage (my speedy v-strom gets about 53mpg), and other nice conveniences. It has one major flaw though. You're pretty much guaranteed to get injured in an accident and the chance of dying is much higher than in a car. Cyclics see some of these issues as well when they ride on the street but generally they're going slower and able to react to a situation a little faster than a motorcycle rider.
