I averaged 55 mpg in daily commuting on a '66 Suzuki X-6 Hustler. It was a two-stroke twin with six speed transmission, comparable to the Yamaha RD-250/350s ridden by King Kenny. IIRC, I only invested $250 in it, & sold it for the same price 5 years & 20k miles later.

Nice garage find!

even back in the day, those old, smaller displacement Honda CB's were known for getting stellar FE. I put over 10,000 miles on a stone stock CL175 when I was a teenager. Nice commuter bike that served it's purpose, great FE
