Jeep or Bike

This post is going to be far less deep than what I usually write, but this is what is on my mind today.

So the above picture is the ideal, this is the combo I want a jeep with all-terrain bike(probably a dual sport bike) in the back. However, because I need to be somewhat fiscally responsible I will only get one. They both promote and outdoor life. They inspire adventure and exploration and just good honest fun. They both have pros and cons that the other one doesn't. So lets look the pros and cons for me:


Pros:
Versatile all terrain vehicle 
Possible to use in all types of weather
Decent for long trips
Room to haul anything from camping supplies to a motorcycle
Able to talk with people riding with you
Fun to drive around in
Rugged and durable

Cons:
Not great gas mileage 
Higher cost than a bike
Not the easiest to get into for all people


Pros:
Versatile from road to off road
Great gas mileage
Fun activity to do with people
A different form of transit than 4 wheel vehicles
Can park almost any where
Easy to maneuver  
Cheaper than a Jeep

Cons:
Not ideal for long trips
Very little hauling capacity
Need to take the class and get my license 

So this is where I am at so far. I am still at an impasse on which would be the better purchase or which I would enjoy more.

I am open to suggestions and comments especially from people who have one or the other. Even better if you have both!
