Yamaha lists the V-Star 250 at 78 mpg. Kawasaki lists the Eliminator 125 at 98 mpg. The new Ninja 250 is listed at 68 mpg and is 50 lb heavier than the V-Star 250. Peirsport is selling a 125cc 6spd Sachs powered dual sport bike for $2700 USD last I checked but no word on mpg. In general every bike will improve its mpg potential by drag reduction from a good fairing and tall tail box combination. The rest is up to the skill of the rider and road conditions: Traffic, hills, wind, etc.
