Hi Sendler, Doing good with the 250's. Since I rode in the Vetter Challenge I've been working on the aero package of my 1982 Yamaha Vision and have a best tankfill of 66 mpg. I realize the 550 cc engine size, weight and shaft drive all are working against me in acheiving really high MPG but will keep working on it as its my only motorcycle. 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
