This should be interesting, comong from a dedicated 250 fan. The CBR seems like it has even more mpg potential than the old Ninja. I have considered one but really need more weather protection than the styling-only fairing that is common on small sport bikes. Also my aging frame is needing more comfortable ergonomics as time passes.

The aero mods will be the most interesting as they are the most difficult to do right for performance and appearance.

Please keep us updated on the progress and keep a detailed fuel log so we can see the results of changes! I'm predicting you will reach 100 mpg without too much trouble and sustain at least 85 mpg at normal traffic speeds.
