i live in car dependent America, my motorcycle have saved me every time my car is waiting for repair parts, so i don’t miss work, and when riding downtown, where parking is a headache. So i see it with a more utilitarian eye

Motorcycles and mopeds are amazing in urban areas that haven’t built up public transit, honestly. They can be crazy efficient, have a ton of electric options now, and give people the range and speed to use existing infrastructure and not need dedicated lanes/shallow grades like bicycles.
I’ve not owned one since I grew up in a rural area and I’m not suicidal enough to ride one on a 65mph highway. but am planning to move to an urban area in a few months, I’ll probably get one for going downtown.
