2014 Fuel Economy Myth‑Busters

• Supersports are always thirsty: Street-paced riding keeps many 600–1000cc bikes in mid‑30s to low‑40s MPG; track use drags it down.
• ADV aerodynamics don’t matter: Big screens and cases cost MPG at highway speeds; cleaner setups help range (owner reports reflect sensitivity to speed/load).
• Small scooters can’t exceed 100 MPG: Modern 50–150cc EFI scooters routinely deliver 100+ MPG in urban use (Metropolitan, Zuma, Typhoon family).
• Maintenance doesn’t move the needle: Tire pressure, chain condition, fresh oil, and clean air filters measurably improve MPG.

 

 

2014 Fuel Economy Strategies

• Commute class: Choose 125–300cc scooters/standards; maintain psi and smooth throttle to sustain 70–110+ MPG.
• Touring discipline: Tame aero and luggage on FJR/Concours to hold ~40–47 MPG across mixed routes.
• ADV tuning: Optimize cases, gearing, and pace on DL650/GS/F700GS to stay near 50–70 MPG.
• Performance pacing: Cruise below sustained high RPM; many supersports remain in low‑40s MPG off‑track.

 

 

What Was New and Popular in 2014 Motorcycles

2014 broadened accessibility and tech. Middleweights stayed hot, urban scooters surged, and touring/ADV machines added features without abandoning real‑world MPG. Popularity skewed toward practical, electronics‑equipped platforms with strong range.

• Accessible performance: Honda’s CB/CBR500 line and CB300F hit the sweet spot of usable power and ~70 MPG, expanding the on‑ramp for new riders.
• ADV step‑ups: BMW’s liquid‑cooled R1200GS and F800GS Adventure plus KTM’s 1190 Adventure/R elevated electronics and long‑range comfort.
• Urban efficiency: Scooters like Metropolitan, Zuma 125/50F, and Piaggio BV/MP3 dominated city MPG charts; owners routinely reported 90–130 MPG.
• Touring refinements: FJR1300A/ES and K1600 GT/GTL families blended comfort with disciplined ~36–52 MPG touring figures.
• Cruiser appeal: Bolt/Bolt R‑Spec and Indian’s Chief family pulled riders toward style with respectable highway economy; Suzuki’s C90T B.O.S.S. stood out.
• Electronics everywhere: APRC/ABS/TC on RSV4/1199/S1000RR normalized rider aids outside racing, while naked sport (S1000R) kept MPG sensible.

Overall, 2014 gave riders efficient commuters, capable adventure machines, and refined tourers. The year’s popularity favored practicality, safety tech, and everyday MPG without sacrificing character.
