The stock bike can get 114 mpg (US). The faired (and re-geared) one can get over 200 mpg (US), despite the 88 extra pounds. |
I think what is a tad misleading on this one is:
A) The weight of the driver is excluded making the difference (in %) somewhat different.
B) The changed position of the driver has a major affect, meaning what would the improvement have been with ONLY changed driving position without the added aero (and weight) parts?
