One thing hybrids all have wrong, is they all expect to have gasoline engines that have sufficient power to accelerate the car at highway speeds, and their electric motors are 'helper motors'.

Cvts are for the city. They're not good for higher speeds, as they rob more power from the engine than an automatic transmission.
They're also not very flexible. You can manually operate them, but...

Thought of water injection?

It would work well on this low compression engine.
You could also try to change to a thinner head gasket, in an effort to increase compression.

I wonder if there...

Personally, I think, unless we re-invent the gasoline engine, hydrogen is out of the question.
I watched Mr Shouty's vid, and couldn't agree less with it.

A while back, there was big research...

It's called 'heat soak', and especially noticeable on turbo cars.
The most common solution is to either fuel up higher octane fuel (89,91); fuel up with E15, or if you already fueling mid-grade,...

Ethanol only makes sense in turbo cars; or when driving in excessive heat.
High elevation also robs some power off the engine, but unless its also hot there, I wouldn't use Ethanol gasoline.

For a sports bike, its still 200cc short.
I wished they had made it a naked bike.

Up to 300cc a single cylinder makes sense.
300-800cc a parallel twin makes sense
800-1200,triple makes sense...

In usa the law states 4.5BHP., and 40mph minimum.
Other laws say 125cc.

A 75cc doing 50mph will not be stopped,as advances in modern technology, make certain modern bikes of 80-100cc more highway...

You can tune the variator, by installing heavier variator weights.
It'll make the engine rev lower, but also take away some torque (acceleration).
It does give you higher MPG though, and probably...

The R3 is geared very low.
It actually gets closer to 80MPG when in final gear, at about 35MPH.
The R3 is geared to go 30-35MPH in final gear for highest MPG. Below that the engine is lugging.

Except for perhaps gearing. Modern bikes are almost all short geared, and meant to be ran in the 4-8k rpm range, while the older ones ran in the 3-5k range.

Sprocket calculations for motorcycles (to get better MPG and top speed).

Aside from changing your sprockets on a whim, just to change them,
or changing them by feel, to make your bike feel more or less tame when accelerating,
You can also change sprockets with a...

Presuming you can change out the gears, the best motorcycle would be a Roketa MC-05-127.
It comes stock with 80MPG, and with a sprocket swap from 41T to 31T gets 120MPG at best; but disables it for...

Honda Rebel 250 (2013 model, 70 to 90mpg US, 108MPG IMP )

Although the Rebel 250 already has pretty good gas mileage, it's an reasy bike to mod, to get more out of it!

Stock sprockets are 14/33t, makes the little rebby rev in the 4-6k range for normal...
