I've been seriously considering picking up a Trail 125 for buzzing back and forth to work on the cheap with gas prices the way there are, but it is just a bit too slow. If they'd cruise 55mph, I'd probably already have one.
Many people had these same thoughts back during the obama years, when they figured out that tires only last 9-10K miles and are expensive to change, plus sprockets and more. They realize they didn't save any money by buying a small bike.
During that time you couldn't find a Yamaha TW200, Then used ones were everywhere, and dealerships had two/three year old models unsold, still in the crates.
