Living the dream

[jonnythan]

The Yamaha Canada site has a little blurb in the sidebar that says "190 mpg" but no indication of how they arrived at that number. It's certainly not listed as any sort of official gas mileage.

For all we know it will do 190 mpg at 15mph strapped to a treadmill with no load.

As you mentioned, "real world" mileage seems to be in the 80-100mpg ballpark.

I still don't believe any vehicle ever made has ever gotten anything close to 190mpg in any real world situation, but I'm open to be proven wrong.

I think it's possible- if you never exceed 15 mph and there is never a hill or any real wind to ride into.

Mine is a two stroke, and it gets around 75 mpg....unless I go 25 mph, then I get 85. I know it will get a hundred if I use a tow rope.

Anyhow, thanks to all who read and liked the story I wrote. I actually was just relating the whole story as it happened.

bikeguy joe,

My sincere apologies for contibuting to what killed your thread, you did write a good story BTW.

That's it for me on this one.

No problem Paul, maybe I'll write another.
