Also needed to be considered is the climate one lives in. Here in GA I could ride 90% of the year easily with proper gear, but in many northern states and Canada that is not possible. Snow/Ice covered roads make it too dangerous.

I too saved a bundle riding my lifan for 2.5 years of commuting. Biggest costs were tires, but even then I didn't get the cheapest ones.

I think someone would have a hard time saving money on a bike with more than 400cc. Many cars get 40mpg and carry 5 people.
