Just wondering how economical bikes were really. What kind of mpg have you been getting (calculated over a tank preferably), what bike do you ride and how do you ride it?

For the op, most average bikes 600-1400cc will do 40-60mpg,

400-600's about 40-60mpg again.

50's will do 120mpg, as will most 125's

Some will do more, some will do less, the new Aprillia RSV does less than 30mpg, the BMW F650 thing will do 80mpg,
Thanks. What about bikes 200-400cc?

Why isn't there much difference between 400 to 1400cc bikes?

I get 43mpg out of this without trying. The F800S I had before it did 65mpg.

Th Skoda 1.6TDI the wife runs does 54mpg since she got it, which proves the OPs point really.
What was the OP's point?
