Even my Triumph 900cc Adventurer from '99 was several times cheaper to run, vitually repair free when taken care of, insurance was four times cheaper and road tax 3 times cheaper. I'm comparing to the costs of an old Mercedes I used to have at the same time and to my Land Rover Defender I drive now. There's also no charge for parking it....the list goes on. Economically, I find it hard to understand managed to get a scooter to cost more than your car...:-) - -Duncan There is no question that for maneuverability and parking they are far better than automobiles. However, two wheel vehicles are more expensive to maintain than automobiles, several times more. Prices for insurance, safety equipment, tires, parts and repairs, labor, far surpass the cost of maintaining an economical car. But you do save on gas.
