    Yeah if you discount insurance, oil changes, and gas money; then over a 6th month period you might spend more money on parts for a bike than a car. Maybe.

      I literally said the math will change to favour the bike if you include fuel?

      Oil change was included in that figure and insurance costs next to nothing if you’re getting liability only (and you can’t really get full coverage on a 30 year old car).

      Think over the 4 years I owned that car, I spent a total of 200 euros or less on maintenance and repairs since it sat for the better part of the last 3 years I owned it.

      Most of the rest of my cars haven’t been this cheap to maintain, but then again they’ve also done a lot of mileage for me.
