From a "I want to do an activity to have fun" recreational POV, I agree. But from a utilitarian "I want to get from Point A to Point B" transportation POV, the distance basis makes more sense. Both viewpoints are valid. And whichever viewpoint you choose, I can guarantee you that motorcycling is going to look bad.
