I‘ve been in love with motorcycles since i was 10 or so. I finally got around to taking the MSC (19 fyi) and want to sell my car in place of a BMW touring bike. Besides the initial purchase cost, which is more economic in the long run? I understand the following;I can expect 45-60 mpg from a 1000cc compared to my 25-27 mpg from my current 2.5L I6.Tires for my BMW 3series run $230 a pop ($1000 a set w/ installation tax) compared to $400 a set for a motorcycle.Tires for my BMW 3class last 50k compared to the motorcycles 8k.1 tank of gas should last 300miles on both vehicles.I‘ve looked at all of these facts and figures, but still can‘t see which would be more economic and practical in the long run. Can some vetrans provide some insight?Your time is appreciated.Currently, I own a 1998 323is with 65k miles. Id like to buy a CBR600/BMW touring. Haven‘t made up my mind on which yet.
