2004 Fuel Economy Myth‑Busters

• Myth: All new 2004 sportbikes were fuel injected.
  Busted: Many mid‑range models still used carburetors; FI was concentrated in flagship supersports.
• Myth: Scooters can’t handle highway speeds.
  Busted: Maxi‑scooters like the Suzuki Burgman 650 and Piaggio X9 500 comfortably cruised at highway pace while returning 50+ MPG.
• Myth: Bigger displacement always equals worse MPG.
  Busted: The BMW R1200GS and Honda ST1300 both returned mid‑40s MPG despite liter‑plus engines.

 

 

2004 Fuel Economy Strategies

• Urban riders maximized efficiency with 50–150cc scooters, many exceeding 90 MPG.
• Touring riders balanced comfort and economy with models like the BMW R1150RT and Honda ST1300.
• Performance enthusiasts faced a trade‑off: the new Honda CBR1000RR and Kawasaki ZX‑10R delivered cutting‑edge power but hovered in the high 30s MPG.
