1983 Motorcycle Fuel Economy Guide

September 21, 2016 Michael Le Pard MPG Guide Comments Off

A guide to motorcycle gas mileage (MPG and L/100km) and efficiency

Your guide to motorcycle and scooter fuel economy in MPG and L/100km.
Over 5500 bikes by year, manufacturer and model from 1934 to today.

World Changing Event: March 2, 1983 – CD players and CD discs were released. This event is often seen as the “Big Bang” of the digital audio revolution. The new audio disc was enthusiastically received, especially in the early-adopting classical music and audiophile communities and its handling quality received particular praise. As the price of players gradually came down, the CD began to gain popularity in the larger popular and rock music markets. The CD was planned to be the successor of the gramophone record for playing music, rather than primarily as a data storage medium.
