Don't know about you guys/gals, but my bike only does the same MPG/KPG as my car? Obviously give the bike more rice.. Cars are for the rain and bikes are for the sun. NO CONTEST.. :nonod: :redmc:

What kind of car/bike do you own?

 

[No Worries]

Gazzer's in the UK where gas is over $5/gal, and they don't have SUV's everywhere. I think more people here would be on a bike if they could ride with a cellphone in one hand and a latte in a cupholder.

They can.
I can plug my cell into the Chatter Box and steal a cup holder from Wing. :lol:

 

[Gas Man]

I'm with ya Earl... the fall is the best time to ride...

 

[Street Fighter]

I believe it will but the increase will be small. Bike sales are dictated more by the economy's success over the price of petro.

Being that I now am a partner in a new dealership, I can say for certain that gas prices are having an effect. I can't tell you the number of people that have come in looking for bikes due to rising gas prices.

 

[Gas Man]

Really Mojo... a new dealer partnership.... do tell...

He is to far away to help us much .

 

[Gas Man]

Yes but maybe another TWF'er!

 

[GSXRGirl]

...more likely that the people that own one will just ride it more.

:iagree:

We recently opened Fresno Motorsports, LLC. We carry Yamoto dirtbikes and ATV's and Tank cruisers and scooters. We're trying to pick up Hyosung, but they are not very responsive at all. We are a Parts Unlimited dealer and have a full service department. We're in our third week of business, and our showroom is already looking pretty empty. I'm watching the clock waiting on every shipment. We can't get the bikes in fast enough right now!

 

[Gas Man]

Start a thread on it and get us some pics...

 

[Pigface1]

I'd wager that motorcycle sales have already increased.

What kind of car do you drive? My bike gets 40+ on the highway, 35 in the city. My vette gets 30 on the highway, and 19 in the city if I baby it.

 

[DLIT]

A moderate I think. **** is crazy. i have to put gas in my budget now. And it's only gonna get worse. So I'm riding it a lot more now. I'll fill up my truck every pay day and if I'm running low I'll hop on the 6. Sometimes I ride cuz it's super nice out but yeah, that's what I do.

 

[Jules]

They'll go up, but probably not to much in the new bike section. I'm guessing the older $500 bikes will be a lot more common on the street. As far as sportbikes, it's only a few cents cheaper to ride my Aprilia compared to the Grand Am I sold a few months ago. Anybody that realizes that sportbikes only get about 35-40 MPG won't have a reason to buy one for gas savings.

 

[rworkman98]

Yes, but only a little. Riding is more a lifestyle choice than a financial choice for most people.

 

[Gas Man]

Ya I know that I will ride what I want and make the finaces work...

 

[jeeps84]

She might have something to say about that. :lol:

 

[Gas Man]

Nope I do the check book and she says if we can afford it then I can do whatever... but I also give her the respect in talking with her about it!
