    Motorcycles are the ideal transportation for large distances in low density areas.

    Even the “downtown” of a village of <10k people are much nicer when they’re not 50% parking lot and you can walk down the street without cars blowing by you doing 65.

      Well, it’s part of the picture for many areas.

      In my area, you can’t ride a motorcycle during a third of the year, save rare exceptions.

      In all areas, there are other inconveniences. You can’t carry young children, it’s not great for carrying logs, agricultural produce, mulch, etc.

            Motorbikes are even more important in the countryside, where roads aren’t always so good. If a road is washed out or theres been a landslide, bikes can still make it with some delay, and can use a lot more alternative paths. There’s places in the highlands here literally only accessible by bike.
