Honda CBR250R might be much better
I would be intersted to see them revisit the car vs bike myth using the Honda CBR250R. The best bike they had came back with 56 mpgUS so they put a giant streamliner fairing on it and got it up to 71. The CBR averages 71 on fuelly right off the showroom floor and has an O2 sensor and a big exhaust (big catalyst?) so it might be cleaner than their best test bike. I get 87 mpgUS all summer long on my 64mph commute. They put the emphasis on CO, HC, and NOx, disregarding the fact that the bikes used less gas and put out less CO2. In the end, they just told everybody to stick with their car. I hope one day they will try it again with the $4000 Honda.
