Incase anyone needs to figure out what their MPG or L/100km is from their gas fills, here is a Metric Fuel Consumption Calculator I used right here on Total Motorcycle:

I know what everyone is saying about the flood of inferior Chinese bikes that are at every Pep Boys and Corner Gift Store. But I have got to say in all fairness that I really like this bike. And I have owned everything from H/D to ZX 10 to XT 350 to GS 650 to FZR 400 Track Bike. It runs GREAT!
Gets superb milage, and is perfect for driving around Padre Island and on the beach.I paid 600$ for it with 800 miles on it and its the best bargain that I have got i 30 years of buying and selling bikes.(Well!! with the exception of the Magna I bought for 900$ at 8pm and sold for 2100$ the next morning) If you want a gas mizer,if you want a commuter on 2 wheels ,if you want something that you can afford to drop on the ground and not have a stroke! Ya Cant Beat It!

Now for the record, and not trying to be rude, but some others must be talking imperial gallons, or have a hard time with a calclator.... cause some numbers are pretty wild when considered actual street milage. But I could be the crazy one....!!

All records at 5-10K except Honda CT110 Low range which was checked between 9K and 13,600ft.
Bikes that I've taken to the left coast seem to get about 5mpg better(Oregon,Washington,BC)
But in California (ethonal) and Colorado front range (Denver and Co Spgs metro areas) winter gas (MTBE and/or ethonal) gas which drops 5-15 mpg (along with extremely decreased plug life in BMW and HD and point life in Harleys) however no problem with gas from Pueblo, Custer, Fremont,Teller or Chaffee counties which are not required to add alchol. This problem goes away with first fillup in Oregon or Nevada ( or in Colorado at a non ethonal station)

PS. I had a Ford Thunderbird that averaged 24mpg with good gas and 7mpg with the oxygenated crap)
Also notice that American Bikes are in CI not CC. Last time at insurance agent he asked me how many cc my Harley is so I asked about motor in his car (Belaire w/327) He didn't know how many cc his own was>
