- gas
- insurance
- traffic laws
- parking problems
- expensive repair and maintenance
- very heavy weight
- oil change
- tires
- brake service
- average 60km/h (unless you want to get a ticket for speeding)
... need i say more?
Bike:
- tires
- add lube oil
- brake pads
- park it anywhere
- low maintenance
- no gas
- no laws ... sort of

- light weight
- no need for insurance
- average 30Km/h, say even you do mange to get to 100Km/h you wouldn't get a speed ticket
