I've found myself with the throttle wide-open far more often than the SV...<br /><br />I hear you on the stability - I can do U-turns much more sloppily on this thing, and still be quite successful. Plus, you can throw the thing into weird corners of uneven road and feel settled where the SV would be a little more unnerving.<br /><br />Haven't devised a method of tracking down complete cost of ownership for the vehicles yet...more like, I haven't put in the effort to track it all. But I'd like to - maybe I will begin doing so!authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258613888817364940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610359137685367306.post-78544527522747995692009-07-28T10:46:16.542-04:002009-07-28T10:46:16.542-04:00I believe that the thought process behind the mp3 ...I believe that the thought process behind the mp3 was to be more accessible to those who are intimidated by the idea of riding a two wheeler. Also, it is more stable in low traction conditions (you can slide the front without crashing, much harder on a bike). What speeds are you able to reach with it on the highway. <br /><br />Also, looked at your breakdown of vehicle fuel mileage. Have you considered putting tire cost into the equation? Other consumables? Just curious as to what the "total package" economy situation is in regard to riding vs. driving. Hope that rest of your trip goes well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830979845659068963noreply@blogger.com
