Hell yes. When i bought my Zesty this time last year, i worked out that it cost more than all my cars combined.....and i'd been driving for 19 years at that point

The king of Banganomics

Although i've now got the nicest car i've ever had, it still cost a 3rd of what my bike cost and the bike is much, much cleaner

In fact, i've yet to wash this car - but i've only had it 3 months 😀

Haven't owned a car worth more than my bike for years.
Cars are just a tool, bikes are fun. 🙂

+1 for just the forks costing more than my car....as its only worth £400-500 My full sus is the most expensive thing I've ever owned but love the fact I have fun. But don't abuse the little old car still gets a full valet every month with the best wax I own just because I'm a valeter!

I like cars but only now do I have a car worth less than my bikes and even though its a £500 car it is the best car I ever owned.

My car has not been washed or properly serviced in the 4.5 years I have owned it. It has had only one oil change to celebrate it passing it's MOT 2 years ago...nothing else service wise.

The bike gets licked clean.

Current main bike is worth more than my current car. I like fast cars but got fed up with the cost so a slow car may as well be cheap (+ big and comfy)

I currently have 5 bikes each worth more than my car (one of which I classify as a "hack"). Need to get a more expensive uni though, as sadly I think my car is just about still worth more than that.

At one point I had £11k worth of bikes (new value) and no car. Still don't have a car, but the fleet has reduced. A bit.

1 of our cars was free... Says enough really. It did go through an MOT With no bills and came with 6 month on it too. Best car we've ever had. '96 Honda Civic 1.4 vtec thoroughly recommend them.

Both of my bikes are each worth more than my car, but are probably dirtier as I am lazy when it comes to cleaning.

My car is a little beaut though. Slowly doing her up. 🙂
