Relax and take a deep breath, you're doing great even thinking about people other than yourself.
The young lad should pay his own way and buy his own vehicle in due time, Ownership demands responsibility. The SUV will get you all around when need be.

What does the Mom drive? Is she willing to just give it to her son?

Don't worry about the rest of them. Tell the step son that you're willing to help him learn to save up to buy a car, with his money, from his job. Financial responsibility is one of the best things you can give him. Handouts are not.

And all you need to do is ride safe and realize that it's your money that you worked for, something you wanted for yourself and if needed, remind them that you don't question their purchasing decisions. No one is starving because of a motorcycle.

We all need goals and it's wonderful that you reached one of yours. Let the young lad set his own goals and WORK towards achieving it.
