A tale of 2 Hondas
#26
Ill put it to you this way, just in a fuel perspective. I have quite a long commute to work (90 miles one way) and i daily a Vw Jetta Diesel that gets me 48-50 MPGs. I have heat, a radio, wiper blades, etc... It costs me $28 every three days to fill up.

When I took the CB to work occasionally (dont anymore since: A. Accident, B: I have a rocket couch on wheels (Valkyrie)) it got me around 38- 40 MPG and I had to fill up every day, if not twice (about $10 each fill). I was uncomfortable after the halfway point and when it was cold....i was cold.

Im not even going to talk about what the Valkyrie gets and costs me. 6 Cylinders, 1500cc, 800lbs, 6 long open trumpets. Lets just say I didnt buy it for economy.

Just in a fuel and amenities perspective...its better for me to take the car.
