the insurance can be quite expensive depending on your age, and the type of bike, and you insurance company.as for gas mileage, bikes generally get very good gas mileage even todays sportbikes get around 40 mpg when doing highway speeds, my uncle has a BMW R1200R for commuting and he gets around 55-60 mpg.

The full coverage on my financed $10,000 bike fully covered was about the same as my fully covered 90 Chevy pick-up. I looked on line and then went with Harley . It was the cheapest. I am over 65

yes, motorcycle insurance can be expensive. I carry maximum coverage on my KZ1300a with state farm and I pay $430 a year (about the same as my car). I've been riding accident free, just about 40 years and have a 'safe driver' license, but it didn't get me any discounts...
