If I go somewhere with low funds is it a better idea to buy a motorcycle instead of a car assuming you live in a desert region with no rain?
You can get a small sized motorcycle under 3 grand that gets you back and forth and gets 40-60 mpg. Where a car under 3 grand will probably break down and be in the shop a lot and probably cost you you're job and will cost a ton to repair and probably only get 20-30 mpg

As a mechanic of both cars and bikes, I'd say mmotorcycles generally need more maintenance and repair per mile than a car even though there is the big saving in gas.
There is plenty of preventative maintence and simple repairs you can do to either a bike or car.(See /diy/)
There have been times I've only had a MC and there are some inconveniences but you learn to work around them.

Don't forget to consider that other drivers straight up don't notice motorcycles most of the time(when switching lanes and stuff like that).
Due to that there is an inherent danger that they have which cars don't.

Honda Grom gets 100mpg with a 1.45 gal tank and a 125cc engine. Perfect for efficiency.
