Question about a crotch rocket????

[speedracer01]

I know that this doesn't apply to a 2 stroke question, but I need some info. I'm thinking about buying a newer crotch rocket and wondered how good of gas mileage do they really get? I've had someone tell me that there bike got 63+mpg and figured someone has to have one that could tell me on here. Let me know what you have and what kind of mileage that it gets. It will probably help with my choice. Thanks!

i for one dont own one but its like anything eles.. if you dont beat the piss out of it they will get good gas mileage.

This doesnt apply to a banshee.

my brother has a kawasaki ninja 250, its a in-line twin cylinder 4 stroke. I checked his gas mileage the oter day when I rode it to work and it got 65 mpg when you ride it fairly easy. this one guy at work has a honda cbr600 (f4i? or something like that) and its a 4 cylinder and he said it gets like 50 mpg when he rides it easy.

Sweet! Sounds better than driving my lifted Dodge on 39s. LOL! Anything is better than that! Thanks!

do you have much experience on street bikes and stuff? it your kinda tight on cash and just need something easy on gas to get to work and stuff then I say you would love a kawasaki ninja 250. its more of a beginners bike but its fairly small, light and easy to manuver around and pretty fun to ride actually if you not all into eye-watering speed. brand new they are like 3800$ of a new 08 model, or you can find good condition used ones for like 2500$. it has a top speed of like 95-100 mph, lol thats what I toped his bike out at on the interstate the other night comeing home from work, and his is even geared up higher than stock.

I have been thinking long and hard about it. That's why I put for sale or trade on my odyssey. I f I really decide to buy one I could sure use the money.

Yea Sportbikes get great gas mileage what are you planning on getting?

[fastman69]

MPG all depends on how you drive and the size of the bike. Get a 600cc, you will get bored with the 250cc. I have heard teh 600cc get anywhere from 30 to 60. If you just use it to cruise and a low rpm then you should easily see 50mpg.
Also if you have never ridden a cycle before, don't buy a new one, you will be pissed when you lay it down. Also, even if you riddin a dirt bike, a cycle is a different thing but it does help out with havin riddin on 2-wheels

I have ridden bikes before and ride my buddie's kx250 all the time. I had been wanting a Honda cbr, but that Kawi sounds alright, too.

I do hate to be on something slow though. LOL!
