I know nothing about motorcyles, so I'll take your word on it.

All I know is that if you want fuel efficient cars today, you should look at Honda hybrids and the Prius. :~)

Only silly, and naive people buy hybrids. New Toyota Hybrid=$25,000...fuel economy 38/55 at best..new Chevy Aveo
with A/C $8,500 fuel economy 28/36...do the math. Oh and in larger cars and SUV's the hybrids don't get any better MPG's than their non hybrid counterparts, the Hybrid technology is used to boost performance, not MPG's.
