ScotD · 01-27-2014, 09:23 PM

I plan a small, light (300 lbs), aerodynamic reverse trike, able to cruise at highway speeds for hours. I'm coming to believe that fuel injection and electronic ignition are best. I've been thinking 250cc, though smaller or somewhat larger would be OK. I want maximum mpg, AT LEAST 125 mpg avg on street and highway. I expect cruising at 60 mph. I imagine using the entire rear of a motorcycle, from engine back and building my own front end and body.

Suggestions for best engine/donor machine?

Thanks,
Scot
