Looks great!
Comparison isn't that straight forward for most people I know. You do need a car per household. One. So comparing price of car vs bike is no issue for me. There has to be a car. Car registration and maintenance are done even when small mileage is driven. Oil needs annual change, whether you drive 5 or 55 thousand kilomtetres.
Only real difference is petrol. Going to and from work by car costs some 50 euros per month for me. Doing the same thing by bike costs about less than 10 euros per month, while being healthy, fun at the same time.
The bottom line is I LOVE RIDING BICYCLE. Everything else is just rationalizating bollox.
The GSX R has been sitting in the garage this whole year!! I can get to work in a flash on the Gixxer, but the fun has gone away with that. Enter the bicycle.. Oh boy..Each block is fun..Maybe next year the Gixxer will get some time. Right now it is all bicycle, 9 of them!!
BTW, the wife drives the F150, it gets about 8 miles to a gallon!!
