Lots of good pointers on riding safely in traffic.
I own three motorcycles. I road a fair amount before kids (10,000miles/year) and getting back into it now that my kids have entered public school and ride a bus.
IMHO maintenance costs are not as big of an issue as others indicate. Tires do wear out much faster but everything else can be taken care of during your annual safety inspection. Buying parts online (brake pads, filters) can save you some money if you plan to DIY.
If you put 10,000 miles on a year - the cost of tires will most likely still be less then car insurance.
Some motorcycle riders "baby" their bikes and arguably give them lots of unnecessary attention because it is their hobby. For example, I just bought a DRZ 400S dual sport. The seller was very concerned that I was going us the "old" gas he put in the tank in April. He was very adamant that I drain the gas out (use in my lawn mower) and put new gas in the bike.
