I didn't read anything but the op...
That being said, I've been riding my whole life. I currently have an FJ09 street bike (cross plane crank 3 cylinder 847cc). It gets 49.7 mpg average, city and hwy combined..all while being a hooligan (who doesn't love seeing a touring bike with saddle bags doing wheelies, right?)
My gsxr 600 track bike gets about 35 minutes to a tank (4 gallons)...I guess that comes out to about 9-11mpg.
It's not exactly WHAT you ride...It's how you ride it. My gsxr spends 90% of it's life at wide open throttle.
If I cruise the fj09 gently, it'll easily get 60mpg.
