    I may just be dumb.

    But are you trying to say, you’d rather use a motorcycle for long distance and a car for short distance?

    As someone who rides, that’s like the super opposite of what I do.

      Depends on the bike, I think. Most cars on the road today are well-suited enough for both short and long distance travel. While there are surely some motorcycles that are good for both, there are a much higher proprotion that are better for a specific type of riding, to the relative exclusion of others - whether that be for reasons of ergonomics, curb weight, cargo capacity, handling and suspension comfort, etc.

        I think the number of bikes you’d want and be comfortable on taking long distance is a hand full.

        Where as cars you would not want for long distance are a hand full.

        Realistically the only rational reason to take a bike long distances is because you want to and enjoy it. Outside of that it’s just downsides.
