2009 Fuel Economy Myth‑Busters

• Myth: ADV boxers can’t stretch range.
  Busted: R1200GS/Adventure riders consistently report mid‑40s to ~50 MPG with careful throttle and luggage minimized.
• Myth: 600–1000cc sportbikes all get sub‑30 MPG.
  Busted: Typical results land mid‑30s to low‑40s MPG with sane riding; extreme track use drags it down.
• Myth: Scooters are novelty, not efficient.
  Busted: Mainstream scooters (Zuma, Vino, MP3 250) return 65–110+ MPG with urban duty cycles.
• Myth: Big cruisers always guzzle.
  Busted: Many 1300–1700cc cruisers hover high‑30s to mid‑40s MPG when geared and loaded smartly.

 

 

2009 Fuel Economy Strategies

• Optimize commute bikes in the 125–300cc class (WR250R, Ninja 250R, scooters) to stay 65–100+ MPG.
• Tour on FJR1300, Concours 14, and R1200RT with smooth throttle, correct tire pressures, and minimal luggage for ~40–47 MPG.
• ADV: pick singles/twins (KLR650, F650GS/F800GS) and gear for terrain; mid‑50s MPG is realistic with conservative pace.
• Performance: 600–1000cc supersports can maintain low‑40s MPG cruising; avoid prolonged high RPM and aggressive aero add‑ons.
