Anybody know good links on motorcycle and moped fuel economy? Also, I forgot that motorcycles are probably two-cycle engines.
A friend at the gym is considering a motorcycle to spend less on gas. It's strange to think the Insight gets better fuel economy than most motorcycles, yet weighs at least 1800 pounds.

Honda is going to have a 100% fuel-injected line by 2007, so that will be an improvement, and hopefully the rest of the industry will follow.
