Sadly, the bikes I have been drawn to have been sales failures for the most part. Amongst them, Honda's Hawk GT and CB-1 and kawasaki's W650.

Thus far, I've been averaging 36 mpg while commuting (all city, stop 'n go with no freeway time). On trips that are predominantly highway riding that figure bumps up to 53 mpg.

Sounds like sales are running hot or cold in various parts of the country, or from one dealer to the next.

Where is your local dealer located Mr. Breeze?
