I'd go for the electric Harley Davidson.

I don't know why he didn't mention the BMW bikes. I have a K1200LT and a R1200GS. Both have plenty of power and still get over 50 MPG!

I can get 50-52 with my 103 Harley touring bike. But if you want a motorcycle for fuel mileage by a mopped.

Some of the mileage numbers running different MAP's

CONSIDERING WHAT HE HAS WRITTEN ABOUT THE ELIO IN THE PAST ,
THIS WAS SURPRISINGLY POSITIVE !

This is the link to the 2013 list.

The '14 and '15 1300s get 42mpg.

Large touring bikes are getting around 42-52 MPG depending on model, load how you ride it custom tunes ect.
My 2013 RGU 1690 cc is getting 44 to 52 MPG.
Of course some are getting much less

I've heard and seen some pretty amazing things out of the Ninja 250 crowd. Now with the emerging sub 500 cc market small displacement and fun are back. I owned a "Little Giant Killer," AKA a Yamaha RS350. Talk about a fun bike with decent gas mileage.

I'm sure the new offerings from Honda, Yamaha, KTM and yes the true and tried Baby Kawasaki Ninja will create a greate option for those looking for a balance of fun and MPG's. If I was in the market right now for one, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

Personally I refuse to lose the hope and continue to wait for my Elio. I don't need one I just happen to like the idea and will continue to support it by waiting patiently..
