That's the crux of the pricing issue, in addition to the distance factor mentioned earlier (north of Scotland Vs south of England) + other considerations (such as the type of motorcycle in use = the van option).
Then there is the factor of sharing costs - split between a number of people it is hard to beat the cost of running a van with a load of bikes in the back and full sharing of the costs.
For someone driving, say, a 4x4 that does less than 30 MPG the balance of decision making can be quite different from those riding bikes with a 60+ MPG capability.
Fortunately, there is a great deal of choice still in place, especially compared with other popular routes, such as direct UK to Norway.
Having said that, I will always choose to ride before going to sea.
