Priority No.1 - Fuel Efficiency
Ive recently been giving a lot of thought to using a lower capacity bike, even down to a modern 125cc, to significantly lower fuel costs. With the price they are now I would save a small fortune by using something like a 125cc which returns 100mpg vs a 600 which returns 50mpg.
I suppose the compromise is speed, but so long as I avoided motorways 60-70mph top speed is fine.
My brother has just passed his CBT and bought a Honda cbf125, which costs him only £6 or £7 to travel over 100miles. My R1 costs way over double that, but I get there quicker obviously.
As a toy the R1 is fine and I don't mind paying the higher fuel for the thrill, but i want to do a long long trip abroad and the saving of fuel would allow me to travel for longer with the same budget.
So what bikes do you guys recommend as a fuel efficient alternative suitable for 200-300 mile days on all terrain?
