The question is what your 90% needs are. A good 250CC will be able to hit the ton plus change. It'll be revving its lungs out... but how often will you do that?
A bigger bike will do it easily, but that other 90% of the time, you're coasting along at just 60, using more fuel simply because you have more engine and more weight to lug around.

People always want more power. The funny thing is, most people don't use it at all. I see V6s and V8s on the highway accelerating at a glacial pace, or maintaining just 60-70. Something I did with a 1,000 cc car last week (for a test drive) while still getting nearly 50 mpg.
*Disclaimer: I typically only drive at 50 mph, where I got 70 mpg with that one. I've got to post about it in the appropriate thread some time.
