1972 Suzuki RV90

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with these bikes? RV90 or RV125. My grandfather bought this bike new in 1972, and the last time it was insured was 1974. I rescued it of the barn where it had been sitting since the mid 1980s. I spent a bunch of money at 2 different shops trying to get it running correctly, the last guy got it perfect except for the fact that the carb float he "repaired" has a hole in it still and it pukes out gas from the carb bowl. This bike can be street legal, though all the signal lights have gone missing over the years. Either way, I am going to get it in good running condition, but I was wondering if they actually get good F.E. numbers? I realize it's a longshot, but if anyone here actually rides one I would love to hear what kind of MPG they get. Thanks!
