2021 Motorcycle MPG Myth‑Busters

  • Myth: New electronics hurt MPG.
    Busted: Ride modes and cruise control often improve real‑world economy.
  • Myth: Adventure bikes are inefficient.
    Busted: Africa Twin and Multistrada V4 return mid‑40s MPG while touring comfortably.
  • Myth: Small bikes can’t commute highways.
    Busted: 300–500 cc standards deliver 60–75 MPG and 70+ mph capability.
  • Myth: Electric is only urban.
    Busted: 2021 Zero SR/F and SR/S offer highway‑capable MPGe and usable range with rapid charging.

 

 

2021 Fuel‑Saving Strategies

  • 🛠️ Maintenance: Tires, chain, air filter — small drags reduce MPG noticeably.
  • 🧠 Riding style: Smooth roll‑on, early upshifts, steady speeds — biggest free efficiency gains.
  • 📦 Packing: Reduce weight and frontal area; use soft luggage and compact kits.
  • ⚡ Charging habits: For electrics, plan charge stops around fast DC options where available.
  • 🎯 Model selection: 500–700 cc standards and ADV midsize bikes remain economy sweet spots.
