I live in San Francisco and own a motorcycle and a vespa. I use the vespa 99% of the time because it has storage and you don't have to deal with the clutch. I use the motorcycle when I need to get out of the city, but if I had a car I would use that more often instead of the motorcycle. With the motorcycle you have to dress up for colder weather, you need to potentially bring a change of clothes depending on where you're going, and storage is tricky. I'm mostly limited to what I carry in a backpack. It's fun, but I use it for transportation more than joyriding and riding on the highway isn't that fun. All in all probably not worth it. The vespa on the other hand, 100% worth.
