Yeh, I only get 50 MPG but it does have a larger engine.

This is the lesson I am trying to unlearn
Bigger is Better

I have owned 5 Bikes, of varying sizes
My Piaggio 250 is adequate to 95% of the tasks your bike does
It is insufficient to travel on the Interstates

For the most part, it does not matter
Most of what I must do can be done on this bike

And from a standpoint of Biker Life
It is all about The Ride

Any time spent NOT in a cage of steel
is time well spent

Also, it is MORE fun
to drive a slow bike, fast,
Than to drive a fast bike, slow.

I'll stick to my bike in a difficult economic climate
But I'd LOVE to spend time on your bike.

Live to Ride
Ride to Live

Live in Peace

Well, I actually wasn't trying to say that bigger is better.

I was just stating for the unlearned reading the thread why I only got 50 MPG.

Not being able to get on the Interstate would be a large bother to me. But then again, I commute 300 miles a week.

Ride safe, ride long.
