You must be doing alot of travelling to use up $100 in gas a week for a bike. Ive been paying about $45 a week to fill my daily driver and I drive about 350 miles a week. ---

thats definitly understandable, if I had a bike like I planned on, I would be driving alot to, but thats alot man, instead I’m buying a nice car because thats more practical for me, hopefully next summer I will buy myself a bike though. ---

FYI, it’s not like manufacturers can switch their plans on a car at the flip of the hat. The entire 2009, 2010 and hell 2011 lineup has been designed, tested and developed by now, changing anything like the motor or the general weight of the car isn’t happening without the company taking a multi million dollar hit. If your car came out in 2006 as a new model, it was most likely conceived circa de 2001. And no car _has_ to meet the regulations, the company gets fined if it doesn’t. ---
