    Is the gas mileage better for motorcycles than it is with cars?

    Is it?

    I was checking out a Harley last night. I really want one. I've been thinking about bikes for a while now. Rice rockets look like death on wheels so I'm not gonna do that.

    For me it would have to be a Harley or at least a touring bike.

    But part of the appeal of of bikes is the idea that they get more MPG than automobiles.

    Is that true? Anyone got some experience with this?

      Get a shitty ~200cc Kawasaki if you want mileage; a Hawg if you want everyone to assume you're a dentist having a midlife crisis.

          Heh, you'd be really reaching to imagine looking at me and thinking, 'dentist with a mid life crisis.'

              Have you seen the sorts of people who ride them these days? Dentists, archieologists and internet dorks.

                          Yeah, they are nice. They are the ones I was thinking of when I mentioned touring bikes.

                                      Haha, You can be sure I still don't fall into those categories on looks.

                                      Think Vin Diesel on a bike.

                                      Dentist? No.

                                      Archeologist? Maybe, if by archeologist you mean a guy who searches for dusty cougar pussy structures.

                                              Why is it when ever you see someone on a BMW bike, they always are wearing the whole BMW riding gear package, jumpsuit and the whole nine yards?

                                                          It was a rice burner. Ninja 750 with all sorts of work to it.

                                                          Not standard mileage, and it was still awesome.

I remember the first time I rode thru FL when the speed limit was 55 MPH. The main highway going to Tampa had highway patrol offices every 100 yards (it seemed), so I actually went the speed limit there. I got 50+ MPG.

                                                                      So, like anything, your results may vary. I would be willing to bet most get better mileage than I do.
