I hear you loud and clear regarding the relatively high cost of MC maintenance. I've put 125,000 miles on four bikes in the past 8 years or so and replacing rear tires at $175.00 a pop (including labor) every 6 to 10,000 miles gets old... and it's a new front tire for every two rear tires too!
Plus, the darn things seem to need 'something' every few months .

50+ MPG, MSRP $5199. I have had 2 different ones in my lifetime. They were great bikes. I currently have a street converted XR600R which is better for off road than the KLR.

I'm gonna ride my new scooter on a few errands tomorrow and enjoy the fresh air and the 80 mpg instead.
