The gas mileage isn't actually higher than a regular motorcycle (*well some yeah but not by much). It seems mostly useful as a demonstration of the tech.

- somerandomqaguy 3y agoTo be fair, this is Kawasaki we're talking about. Only company I know that's nuts enough to put out a 250cc inline 4 screamer in the ZX25R. Then also produce the H2 which has a supercharger with holes cut into it so that you can hear the chirping of the impeller blade tips exceeding the speed of sound and generating a small sonic boom. Don't know of another large motorcycle company that's willing to try wonderfully silly things like this.

- xeromal 3y agoI'm only speaking from my own experience but my Suzuki VStrom has about a 5.5 Gallon tank and the Kawasaki hubrid has a 3.7 gallon tank and they both get about the same mileage so I think it still gets a better MPG.
