I have put feelers out there, but as of yet, I don’t have any solid leads on obtaining a motorcycle. But as you know from my Motorcycle Gas Mileage article, not only can you save a lot of money getting a motorcycle, but you learned how highly I esteem the Honda brand of vehicles (that was thrown in here for free 
).
| Motorcycle Gas Mileage Payback Calculation | |
| Input Area | |
| Price Per Gallon of Gas | $4.00 |
| Your Current Car/Truck Gas Mileage | 25 |
| Your Prospective Motorcycle’s Gas Mileage | 60 |
| Your Average Miles Driven Per Month | 1,000 |
| Automatic Calculation Area | |
| Price of the Motorcycle for 6 Month Payback | $560.00 |
| Price of the Motorcycle for 1 Year Payback | $1,120.00 |
| Price of the Motorcycle for 1.5 Year Payback | $1,680.00 |
| Price of the Motorcycle for 2 Year Payback | $2,240.00 |
| Price of the Motorcycle for 2.5 Year Payback | $2,800.00 |
| Price of the Motorcycle for 3 Year Payback | $3,360.00 |
| Price of the Motorcycle for 3.5 Year Payback | $3,920.00 |
| Price of the Motorcycle for 4 Year Payback | $4,480.00 |
So given the default values, if you spend $560 for your motorcycle, the gas savings that you will receive will pay for your motorcycle in just 6 months! If you spend $1,120 on your motorcycle, it will be paid back in gas savings in just 1 year, and so on.
I came up with this example in order to see what the top price would be that I could spend in order to get paid back around 6 months to a year.
You forgot added cost of insurance and motorcycle gear.
I also did a calculation like this, but I included the cost of tires. Motorcycle tires only average around 5,000 miles. The cost of a new set of tires may run $250 or more. With your 1000 miles/month, you would buy about 2 sets of tires per year.
This may not be a perfect calculation but it shows that it has relatively computation and if you compare these packages on regular basis, this one is cheaper.
