The Obama Administration new national standards for fuel economy...

[Playinghardball]

The Obama Administration finalized national standards for fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions for passenger cars and light trucks that will, by 2025, nearly double the average fuel economy performance of cars on the road today.

1. It is time for Horsepower Linits & MPG req. for motorcycles now!!

600 cc motorcycles are making over 135 hp & can go over 160 mph.

Hayabusa & new ninja 1400 hit 200 mph with a minor mod.

They get terrible fuel economy & 50% crash or vanish in 1 year, it is overkill.

Oh yea, tighten up Truck & suv requirements too.

I have a 20 & 30 yo m/c's & they can go over 165mph easy, if I could get a reliable comfy bike that got over
50 mpg I would get a new one.

FWIW, my 95 RF900 can get 55 mpg going the speed limit, 45-50 mpg at 70-80 mph & runs on 87 octane gas.

There is nothing made that can perfom as well & get that kind of mileage even though it has been out of production for 15 years.
Oh yea engine life is over 100,000 miles & in stock form can run 24 hours straight at 151 mph.

Why after 15 years are there no bikes as efficient, comfy & reliable as this one??
