I dunno, guess i could still buy alotta gas for the price of a bike.

Click to expand...

2006 R6 = $9,200

$9,200 = 3066 Gallons... Wow

So at roughly $3.00 per gallon you could fill up a 12 Gallon fuel tank over 250 times...

1 (12 gallon tank) per week at worst = 4.8 years... That's a long time.


But you could factor in cheap insurance for the bike.

Worst case medical bills = $5,000+

And cheap parking in most cases...


It is a lot to consider, but I would still get a bike.

1.02 and 1.05 out east eh? It's 1.12 here and only going to get higher. I won't be surprised to see 1.20...

Of course, once the warm weather comes around and everyone is out driving prices go up. What a ****ing scheme.

I don't know if this has been posted here before or not(a search didn't find anything) but you can use this site to see who has the cheapest/most expensive gas in your area.
