In all of the motorcycles that I've seen in working at a friends motorcycle shop, I've never seen the speedo pickup coming off the countershaft, it alwas connects to the front wheel hub, you can even get induction pickups for digital speedometers that simply count the speed of the passing gear teeth without any mecanical connection.

I really like having a motorcycle in the summer, they are easyer to park, use less gas, are cheaper to regester, and in the case of mine, it's over 20 years old so I have collector plates that will never expire.
Last time I did a cost per mile comparison, my motorcycle was less then 11 cents per mile, and my car was over 25 cents per mile to operate.
