Aero

Wow! Radical aero mods. I won't need anything like that since I lay on the tank. I would like just another two inches on the wind screen. Hopefully Zero Gravity will soon make a double bubble for it.

A fuel-injected 250cc bike like your new Honda seems to be the one of the best starting points out there. I'd suggest changing your chain sprockets for lower rpm cruising speeds and better aero. TheycallmeBrian got 1 100+mpg tank with his regeared Ninja 250, Alan Smith got 94mpg in the last Vetter Challenge ride on his Ninja 250 .
Keep working at it and you'll see some great results.
All the best L&S
