That particular part of your statement is incorrect.
I used to ride a 1000cc motorcycle that got 30mpg.
Seriously? Was it properly tuned? Did you drive it at less than wide-open
throttle and / or triple-digit speeds? Did you have a thousand-pound sidecar
hooked up to it?
I used to ride Kawasaki H-2s. 750 cc, 300-350 pounds as I recall. I
VERY rarely got more than 30mpg. It was quite hard to ride them
slowly. I did get close to 50 mpg when I could hold it to 50-55 mph.
As I recall, a 3.5 gallon tank had to be filled every 100 miles or so.
