Thanks for starting this thread Sendler. I used to ride everywhere on a Suzuki GT 550 two stroke triple. I commuted in all sorts of weather, kept a full rain suit in the tank bag with waterproof glove and shoe covers. I drove it like I stole it and averaged about 40 mpg plus topping off the two stroke oil tank every once in a while. I am intrigued by these fuel economy numbers. I live in the mountains so fuel injection would be great for altitude changes too. I have a short commute to work so I ride a bicycle. Lately, most of my driving involves hauling a bicycle or skis or a carload of passengers. It would be fun to have something that you could potentially get 100 mpg with though.
