Like I mentioned a little higher up, I used to commute exclusively by motorcycle (a 600cc two cylinder from the late 90s). For me the net benefits were:
- Simple tech that I can maintain and repair myself without expensive tooling
- Very low tax
- When riding conservatively it has great fuel economy
- Filtering is legal here so backed up traffic had very little impact on my commute time
I run my bike with a legally approved exhaust that has a nice note but is not loud. All in all it has saved me a lot of time and money, and isn't that the point of owning a vehicle in the first place?
- pletnes 4y agoI know people who do the same. In winter they drive their cars, so I don’t see a big net win. Of course, in California I guess the snow is less of an issue.
