Please keep them coming! :D

I get a lot of them by email, but I do prefer them listed here instead, it's easier to find when I update the guide. So please, dig out your magazines, your log book and post the MPG and bike data.

Thanks so much!!

Here's fuel economy of my last bike... before someone totalled it... and me (unfortunately I'm still waiting on my lawsuit with the at fault party before I get another- Qualcomm & their foreign workers/drivers!)

YEAR: 2004
MAKE: Honda
MODEL: CBR F4i
Average MPG: 32.5
Average L/100km:
Fuel Capacity: 4.8 gal +0.9 Reserve
Engine Size: 599cc

Percentage of accidents caused by foreign born / non-local drivers is astonishing!
