Getting a 100mpg is achieving the "Holy Grail" of motorcycle FE, far from easy. The Dutch effort with the Honda is fantastic but the base model he used, a ANF125i Innova, isn't available in the US. Until the writeup, I'd never heard of it. It's unfortunate as 100mpg with no modifications and ability for 55mph would be nice.
I don't believe I would be able to ride the Dutch bike comfortably with the seating modification and even though the feet can reach the ground in the aero shell, I have some reservations about everyday safety practicality but I tip my hat to the astounding 200+ mpg achievement.
In any regards, the humor was in relation to the "easy" comment in consideration of the bikes that are available in the US market.
