I'm going to be moving to a state that has 310+ days of sun per year and I'm seriously thinking about selling my car and just getting one of these. Is there anything about living with a motorcycle as an only vehicle that I'm not taking into account? Is it practical?

You have a near 100% chance of getting t-boned by someone on their phone at some point and a 25% of dying from that interaction

Tons of people in italy, france etc. only have small motorcycles like that and maybe a bike.
I would think it heavily relies on the state and especially the city layout you're gonna live in.

Unfortunately the states that have the most practical motorcycle weather are also the states with the most 8 lane arterials filled with distracted moms in Tahoes going 60

as someone with a bike/car, for 90% of things youll be ok with just the bike (groceries, errands, commute) but there will be the odd time youll really wish you had a car, like day trips somewhere where youll need to bring stuff or bringing a large item you purchased home.

I had only only bikes and scooters for years in AZ. Yes it got hot, and the monsoons definitely sucked riding in, but those were literally the only downsides. I had a burgman 400 with a shit ton of storage under the seat and a dr650 for when I wanted to just go explore out in the desert. Just drink plenty of water, wear a helmet and you'll be fine

Just be prepared with water, and take mostly city streets if you can. Small bikes like this are very fun and flickable.
