Sorry but where I come from motorcycles are just plain impractical... if you are lucky and willing to ride in the cold you can get 8 to 9 months of riding in before the snow comes. I ride a Vespa for 9 months out of the year.
I also know, from just looking at one I saw parked on the side of the road, that the trunk space of the Smart can hold more than any saddlebags on the average motorcycle. I also know from experience that yes a motorcycle can carry passengers BUT, it isn't especially safe to do so. If you have an inexperienced passenger... the lean the wrong way and the wobble starts.
The vast majority of people in North America, given the choice would choose a car over a motorcycle any day... Of course most people wouldn't and won't choose a Smart car... They rather drive an SUV.
Hell, I loved my Jeep Cherokee... I just couldn't justify the amount of gas I was guzzling. We now have one car and one vespa and I take the streetcar in the winter.
