I used to use a Honda ST1300 for commuting, the Leaf is warmer and dryer and a LOT cheaper to run. I've calculated that I'll save ~$8k in the first 3 years. I sold the bike for $7k and bought the Leaf for $21k, leaving me down by $14k, after 3 years having saved $8k I'll only be down $6k, a further 3 years should have the entire difference in vehicle prices repaid. So far the battery is holding up nicely, should handle my 70km commute for more than 6 more years.

    As a motorcyclist I love my Leaf, I can take the money I save on my daily commute and spend it on the bike!

    I'm pretty sure this is explained by the leaked BP email stating they were going to raise prices and simply hope the competitors followed suit. There are few enough players in NZ (Gull is really the only disrupter) that they don't compete with each other.
