However, many people are making the switch because they imagine that having
a small motorcycle will be cheap. It isn't. Sure, the 125cc Vespa I tried
can be bought for £3,499, but then you will need a helmet (£300), a jacket
(£500), some Freddie Mercury trousers (£100), shoes (£130), a pair of Kevlar
gloves (£90), a coffin (£1,000), a headstone (£750), a cremation (£380) and
flowers in the church (£200). "

Ever watched the Top Gear TV show? I think it's aired in the US,
albeit probably on some obscure channel. He's a superb TV and print
journalist. Very funny, very knowledgeable, very opinionated.
