Supposedly our old scooter (honda metropolitan (hey, it was free!)) got 120 according to the website, i know i was getting over a hundred as $5 filled the tank from E and i went 300 miles on that (about 2.5 gallons)

Shaddow

So I sat down and did the maths and converted my metric measurements to the old system. My bike has done a best of 89MPG but averages (I keep a record) of 56 MPG.
If you wondering I keep the record because a jump in poor fuel economy is a pointer to issues.

Like mister my bike is stock except for windshield, heated grips, rack, and power plugs. Has 43000kms on it. On its Second front tyre soon to be third. Working its way through its 4th back tyre (one got so many punctures I gave up and bought a new one because I became worried about riding a tyre that was more puncture repair kit then tread) and has had one Chain change. Still on original sprocket. One battery change.
It has also had the seals redone on the forks. I bought the bike as a low speed, low kilometre write off so it had some issues, with the front, bent bars, etc. Nothing serious and I've never ever repaired the panels from its write off either, 3 yrs later.
