I understand all the talk about mods (and what not)......I love power. I have, in my shed, a 400 cc dirtbike that makes close to 50 hp....this bike weighs 252 lbs.When it comes toHP/Weight ratios a dirt bike will win over any other type of motorcycle. The bikeswe are talking aboutare bagger's. As boat owners will attest, the RPM range that a motor operates in will have a HUGE affect on fuel economy. Bagger's are designed for fuel range...not power. I would love to have a 95hp touring bike that gets 55 mpg....let me know when you find it....Otherwise..get a crotch rocket. btw...IF...IF you find a way to get high mileage, and high power,.....PLEASE let me know..I will gladly eat crow..
