Heh, it’s not a bad idea, but sadly it wouldn’t be practical for most in the US. Living here, you’d be hard-pressed to find many people who don’t need to use a highway to get to work. Maybe in small towns and big cities? At my own job, I can’t think of a single coworker that lives in the same town as we work, and almost every person needs to take a major highway to get there. Theoretically we could take back roads, but it would take so much more time vs the highway that leads right into town. Commutes of a half hour or more are common.
I’m aware, that’s why I included a highway-capable motorbike too.
The 125 will do 60 after 14 seconds of redlining it, and it’s so de-tuned you can literally do that every day for years and the engine will be fine, but going 60 on a bike only works with speed limit 65 and wouldn’t be comfortable for more than half and hour.
Small bikes like the Honda Wave get 160 mpg and cost like 1200 new, bigger ones like cb750 hornet get 50 mpg and go for 9k new.
Ah yes, a small bike so I can add medical bills to my already dwindling budget. Great advice.
Small refers to the displacement, its not a minibike.
What is this?! A bike for small dogs?! Blue Steel Face
That was el tigre.
All bikes are bikes for small dogs.
