Those are VERY cool and VERY powerful! As for me, I waited until I was sure I wouldn't kill myself to buy a motorcycle, which for me meant "last year, at age 52." Sure, I still gotta worry about everyone else, but that's a risk I've been taking on a bicycle for years already. Mine is a Royal-Enfield Classic 350, which is perfect for 85% of what I'd want to do -- errands in town, etc -- but is obviously limited to surface streets and slower back roads. It tops out at 70, notionally, but it's not super happy above 55(mph). We'd dropped to one car during the pandemic, because my wife has traditionally taken the bus to work. I'd have the car during the day for the odd daytime errand. Then she got a better job that required driving to work, and we really really didn't want to buy another car - and I had always wanted a motorcycle... She wasn't super excited, but the price tag helped a lot ($4800US). It's lovely, and I get comments on it constantly, but after a year I'm definitely starting to think about Next Bike. Top contender is a Bonneville T120.
