Hit 50 MPG in the accord!
Highway commute will be back momentarily, so I will have the chance to. The only mod I have been thinking about lately is brake drag reduction springs. I've got a massive pile of bicycle spokes saved up just for that.

As for CBR 250, it sure would be nice to hit 60 MPG, it may be possible now that I have a taller rear sprocket. The 250 also desperately needs the carbs balanced, that should allow the engine to drop to idle immediately when I pull in the clutch, instead of dicking around at 3000 rpm for 10 seconds, then dropping.

For my VFR 400, I need to do a tank first! I can assume the mileage on this bike will be as good as the CBR's if not better. It is much less of a racy engine, has taller gearing, and potentially better aero. Its actually got a fork deflector built into the front fender, CBR just has a little bikini fender.
