So you would rather have to lube a chain every 500 miles? Which for you is every other day. Than do nothing but just ride a belt? Based on your experience with the mediocre fuel efficiency of the Burgman, you are under a preconception that you would have to change gearing on the PCX (Which is available via DrPulley sliders in the vario for $40 or final drive gear set for $150). Is 93 mpgUS not good enough?

There are no high efficiency shaft drive bikes.
.
Michelin City Grip tires will last 30,000 front and 18,000 rear. Tire cost for a PCX will be slightly less than a car. But it will use half of the gas of a Prius and costs 14% as much to buy. You can find used ones all day long for $2,000.
.
The only other highway capable bike that can approach 90 mpgUS is the CBR250R if you really want to shift gears.
