Blimey, well done! I was lucky to get 30 on the NSR!

DT is highly unlikely to be doing 2 up journeys often

£26 to fill up the daytona and another 15 or so to fill up the KTM.
My car is easily cheaper to run than the bike but on the rare times I use the bike these days, part of the experience is being raped at the petrol stations

How much is the insurance, purchase cost etc, factor all that in I bet your car isn't cheaper, mine certainly isn't and I've got a diesel.

My sprint takes £20 and I average 160-170 from that.

My car isn't cheaper than the Daytona, main dealer servicing and insurance see to that, but the wife's wee car is.

With the rip off car insurance prices it's a no brainer for me.

I'm loathe to admit that "they" could triple the price of petrol and I'd still fill up to ride my bike, at weekends.

Again it's shameful but I remember swearing I'd never buy another pint if it got to £1 / pint.

Don't downsize unless there's absolutely no alternative.
