The diesel motorcycles in the 2011 Vetter Challenge got better fuel economy than the gasoline bikes despite having much bigger engines. The top 3 diesel bikes got 128mpg , 110 and 90 respectively while the best gas bike ( 250 NiNja ) got 94 mpg. Diesel has a lot of advantages as stated above over gasoline engines.
