I do for my motorcycle but I don't ride it every day and the mileage is far better. When I retire I may reconsider the 2SS as I will no longer have to sit in traffic every weekday.

I work in the city and my commute is a pain in the arse! In the mornings I'm in the car for 45 minutes stuck in traffic. Without traffic about 22 minutes. So, I'm in the same boat. So far, I'm averaging 25 mpg. Which isn't too bad. As much as I want the 2SS, just didn't make sense. I would be burning fuel as well as in my wallet. LOL....So, I went with the 2LT V6. 335 hp is enough for me, for now anyway. BUT, I do want a 2SS at some point in my life, just to experience the performance of all the hp and torque of the V8. I do get asked that question, though, Is that a V6 or V8?
I love telling them the performance numbers FIRST, 335 hp and 0-60 in 5.1 seconds. Than I tell them its only a V6. People I talk to are amazed!!
Heck, the 6th gen V6 is almost as fast the 5th gen V8.
