    Sport Bike as an only vehicle/college commuter?

    Hi. Ok, so I've been driving and professionally racing cars my whole life. Responsibility and "rules of the road" come as second nature. My problem, and question is this: I am moving off to college soon and car insurance is killing me, and the fact that my car has 205k miles doesnt help much...
