The friend who I refered to in my previous post rode to Montréal and back on a scooter (while not driving on highways of course).

anywhere the TTC goes... he can go on a scooter + more.

Hate to point out the obvious...but it's usually the suburbanites that push for cars. Where they live and what they use it for makes sense. If you're in the core (living and working) you're better off with something that will get you to point A -> B and sometimes C, with as little effort and cost as possible.

If he has to go somewhere just outside the city or beyond, why not just rent a car... much cheaper and without the insurance, maintenance stresses.

It's not about the weather but about safety. In my opinion, although the majority of people on the road aren't a-holes, there are enough oblivious drivers with wide open spaces to drive in North America (southern states included) that can make it potentially dangerous for a biker. No point in having a bike if you don't push the acceleration (within reasonable speed limits of course) and in the short burst of speed, accidents happen because oblivious people don't see 'em coming.

That's the only reason preventing me from getting a bike here.

well actually you can.

depending on the scooter you could get anywhere from 60-90 kms a litre of gas. As well with something 125-300 cc you could get a top speed of 100-150kms an hour. I just wouldn't want to go long distances on a scooter.. or a motorcycle for that matter. Long drives i need a car. i want to be comfortable and recline
