Motorcycle MPG ?

[RIP_K52007]

 Thinking about getting the bike endorsement...   what do you ride and what do you get for MPG?  

I got looking into bikes a couple years ago and wanted a 01-04 suzuki bandit 1200 w/ the round headlight. Anyone had one?

I had a 2001 Ninja 500. MPGs were in the 60s.

[RIP_K52007]

I just looked up the 1200 is 35mpg.. the bandit 600 is 45.... looking at other bikes now the car Ii'm driving gets 33 lol

It's all about displacement.

Got my eye out for a Suzuki Intruder 700 or 800 now.. 80's threw newer. Seeing nothing but good reviews and anywhere from 50-70mpg.

MPG was how I talked the ole' lady into another bike..
did the math..
60 miles a day round trip..

in the truck @ 15 mpg..

once I purchased the next bike.. FLHTPI.. 35 - 40 mpg if I can keep from twistin the wick too hard.. (no..I cant')

I saved enough in gas to make an entire years payments on it..
I ride on avg. 6K miles per year.

I have a 96" Harley electra glide and get45 easy 50 if I take it easy

yeah I'm torn between picking up a year or two old econobox or a bike. Just see what I come across first I guess. I know I did the math and the suburban would cost 2.26 a hour out of my pay for the trip, the car is 1.14. My goal is to get under a dollar a hour so its not like I took a pay cut

[ToughBowtieTruck]

A paid off big block is cheaper than a gas sipper with payments--for a while. I cannot wait to get my Silverado paid off so I can stop paying $120 a month on insurance.

[RIP_K52007]

I have to disagree going from the suburban to the car saves me 350 a month. not looking for a payment anyways. atleast not more than a cpl thousand  at the most.
