@Dammit ignoring the arguments for and against motorbikes it's all so cheap compared to car ownership, if you don't like it you haven't spent a lot. Getting your full bike license will cost what, £1,000 these days? And if it's not for you at least you've tried it. To run one bike for a year costs me well under a £1,000 (outside of London).
Personally I stopped chasing performance on 4 wheels a few years ago as couldn't pay to play, and living in London must only strengthen that argument Shirley. The 'danger' factor with bikes is very subjective so don't think it's worth trying to convince you either way. The motorbike thread on here is super helpful if you have any questions, we could do with some Dammit levels of attention to detail with a project I'm sure.
