Default What bike gets the best gas mileage?

I have been thinking about getting another bike, and I would like to know which bike you guys think gets the best mileage.

50cc bikes get the best mileage. 600cc get to eat up gas. 1500cc bikes eat gas the most.

Are we going to ride or work the wallet. No matter the bike, it will get more mileage than your car. Be more specific.

And then you are going to ask what is the best pipe and what performance air cleaner to use. How far did we get with the mileage now? LOL

I think with insane gas prices, people are looking at Bike gas mileage. More people are considering bike to reduce their gas costs. I've gotten over 50mpg on my 2004 Road King Custom, which has the five speed transmission. The new six speed will no doubt give you better mileage.

I've noticed that. That bike kicks butt for mpg. I doubt this could carry one bag let alone both bags and a radio package- wink-wink- We close the deal. Here is my trade-in.

Depends what bike you are after too. But a 50cc scooter can really give you a good fuel mileage.
