60+mpg (assuming US gallons here) isn't that impressive; that's just slightly better than a Prius. But most motorcycles seem to do much worse, more like 40mpg

60+mpg (assuming US gallons here) isn't that impressive; that's just slightly better than a Prius. But most motorcycles seem to do much worse, more like 40mpg (US). My car gets about that, while being many times heavier. Motorcycles generally have terrible fuel economy considering their size and power.
