I have a 1948 Chevy with a 396 big block, and while city mileage is poor, highway is decent. Now gas being $1.25/L mileage is an issue, but it costs me less than $1000/year to insure the vehicle ($884 for all purpose and full coverage), while my 1100cc shadow now would be $2058 with no fire and theft or vandalism.
That $1174 would buy a lot of gas in the 5 - 7 months we drive either vehicle here! I wish I could justify a bike again!

Youch, that's extreme. My rates for both bikes with full coverage (collision, all perils and liability) is a little under $1200 per year. I'm insured under the MMIC's Open Road insurance program. The rates with them are much more reasonable than through most independant insurers, but I see that is not available to you in Manitoba.
