Well, I'm a nerd so the answer is...fuel efficiency, with a healthy dose of Maverick's Honda interceptor from Top Gun.

I grew up under a "do more with less / use what you've got to solve your problems" mentality and seeing these 2 wheeled things that got the same mileage as a Prius with carburetor technology led me to think twice about them.

Otherwise I just kinda brushed motorcycles off as another thing on the road: half were owned by badass rednecks, the other half by spoiled college kids with deathwishes.

Kinda glad I got into it, just to clear up that little set of preconceived ideas, not mention how much dang fun they are.
