Ok I am fixing to sell my 00 yz125 and I was planning on buying a truck to replace my yota as my daily driver. But I started thinking a sportbike would be cool to have as a daily driver and I would still have the toy to drive as well. I will be driving about 30 mil. each way daily. Does anybody drive theirs that much a day, 80% of the driving will be down rural one lane highways with not much traffic. All the money I would save on gas would be cool but is the insurance more expensive on them
BTW I'm 18.

Any idea on gas mileage? I've heard like 40 or 50mpg is this right or no waaaaay!!

The mpg depends on what kinda bike were talking about....

But for a daily driver/rider, crotch rockets get kinda old pretty quick, I mean that BOTH ways, the bike will "wear out" and unless your tottaly into it, ridding in less than nice weather SUCKS!!! Get a cheap car <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> and keep what ya got??

I'd say that my XL250R gets atleast 40mpg, probably more like 50mpg. But riding it too much on the street gets old fast.

I think it depends when I was 18 I was paying 349 a month for full coverage on my chevy truck and a bike was only like one hundred something a month. Just call them and find out.

I drive my 00 Suzuki SV650 to work nearly everyday and get 40+ mpg!! I drive around 15 mile one way on the interstate, but usually leave home early to take side roads with more turns and less traffic. Insurance on that is only $250/year. I choose this bike over a crotch rocket for ins. reasons mainly, plus I'm getting old and chicks don't dig me anymore...lol
