my friend has a klr 250 bored to a 300. That thing is so much fun

sportsbike?
touring?
dual sport/supermoto?
cruiser?

if you want comfy, then sportsbike is out of the question lol.

that's average mpg for most bikes

Yeh, the klr 650s aren't particularly impressive outside of their durability. Fuckers are pretty solid.

Not sportbikes. Riding like a grandpa you might get 40 out of a 600. 1400's and busas are in the 20's. I got 35mpg pretty consistently on a Boulevard M50 I borrowed one summer.

slower stuff like ninja 650rs or 500's will obviously be better than a gsxr 600/r6/zx6/600rr.





They actually have some stupid shit that will leave you stranded. The rotating assembly and transmission are bulletproof though.

My GSXR 600 got 42-45 avg (normal riding.. not slow but not balls to the walls)

My Xb12 gets 46 avg (same riding style)

I second this, if you can find you a clean 750, they are super reliable, the engine is almost bullet proof, they're shaft driven and liquid cool, and great value for money. I rode my buddies a few months ago and it was plenty comfy for me at 6'2".

my ninja 500 gets right around 45 mpg all city. pretty fun. you have to decide what order your criteria is, how important is ACCELERATION

it is what I plan on getting by next year. right before i ets from the military.
