I'd love to have it. :bike-037:

I don't think that any gas-powered street bike in normal use can get that, although record-breakers on tracks have done amazing things with 175 Hondas and such.

I don't think that any street bike, 50cc or whatever, can top 100 MPG on a regular basis, out where you have to pin it to accelerate with traffic from city stoplights, climb hills, idle at stops, etc.

One of those guys who has a bazillion bikes stuffed into an under-house garage area, with a yard sprinkled with cars, trucks, trailers, rec vehicles, scooters, snowmobiles, etc, in states of half-repair. He's smart, knows what he has, and knows how to turn a wrench, but has no time to attend to it all. I envy his hoard, and wish I had time to snoop thru it all every time I stop by.
