Road trip- Bike vs Car: Which is better?

Most of my road trips were in cars. Recently I did a few trips on bikes, thanks to bike rentals that are now available and because of my recently bought new bike. Both bikes and cars have their advantages and disadvantages, when being used for a road trip. In this post of mine, I am trying to compare the two. 

#	Feature/Function	Car	Bike	Winner
1	Travel Time	Usually take less time	Usually slower, except in city conditions where bikes can negotiate traffic easily	Car
2	Top Speed	High	Relatively less	Car
3	Toll booth	Always paid, causes delay in case of long queues, factor about 2-3 Rs per km for toll expenses	Usually free, except few places like NICE Road etc, I could catch up with all cars that overtook me at the next toll both where they waited in queue while I could zip ahead in the bike	Bike
4	Luggage	More space	Less space. Painful if there’re lots of stuff to carry	Car
5	Safety	Relatively Safer. During minor accidents car’s body takes the hit, in case of medium accidents seat belt and airbags can save lives. Cars are more stable in case of sudden obstacles like a pothole, stones etc	Safety is poor despite wearing helmet, jackets etc. Ride might be thrown off the bike in case of impact, skid etc. Bike airbags are available, but not common	Car
6	Fuel Economy	Low	High, bikes can usually go twice or thrice the distance than a car for same amount of money	Bike
7	No of passengers	4-5 comfortably	Max 2, not possible if both have a bag each	Car
8	Luggage Safety	Bags and other stuff can be kept in car and locked	Since everything is exposed, leaving stuff behind could be risky. Either one has to carry it along or find a cloakroom or plan other means to ensure safey of luggage	Car
9	Comfort	AC, Heating, foldable seats on which one can sleep, more comfortable driving position	Not as comfortable as a car, frequent stops are required to relax and refresh	Car
10	Maneuverability & Access	Narrow roads are not accessible by car. Parking, turning etc will be difficult.	Bikes are more fun to cut a corner at high speed, negotiate small roads/congested roads. Bike can go wherever a car can go, not true other way round	Bike
11	Cost of ownership	Relatively high	Relatively Cheaper to own and maintain	Bike
12	Flat tyres	Relatively easy to manage because of spare wheel	Manageable for bikes with tubeless tyres, puncture kit and a foot pump, but not everyone carries all of these. Difficult for radials (tube tyres)	Car
13	Protection from weather	High. Car’s body offers basic defense against adverse nature	Poor. Rider has to suffer chilling wind, rain, hot sun and other elements	Car
14	Formation, Group rides and photography	Traveling in multiple cars is not that fun as each car will be on its own. You can’t make much formations.	Riding in a group of bikes is more fun, as one can form a formation, single/double file lines etc. It is more fun in group travel than cars	Bike
15	Public appreciation	This depends on how expensive/exotic the car or bike looks like. Riding a 6 lakh Harley can get you more attention than a 9 lakh Ertiga		-
16	Night Drive	Fairly comfortable	Not comfortable, not safe	Car
​17	​Community Support	​Not many. Car owners often go on trip alone, do not go in large groups of cars. There're few groups but mostly online, not as active as bike groups	​There're many​ active biker communities-by city (Ex: Bangalorebikers), by Bike maker (Ex MadBulls). Very easy to interact with other bikers and plan road trips	​Bike

As you see, cars have more advantages- 6 for bikes vs 10 for cars. What are your thoughts?

2021 Update: After managing with bike for close to two decades, I have got a car for myself and family use now. Having faced a bike accident last year kind of strengthened my resolve to get a car. I am burning more money but the value proposition of space, comfort and safety doesn't make me regret. Still have the bike for occasional rides.
