I have a 250 cc Hyosung that gives me around 65 mpg. I see some
milage claims for BMW 650 cc bkes of 60 mpg or more. Is this right?
A bike with an engine that is 2.6 times as large gives nearly the same
milage as the smaller bike? Thanks for any info on the BMW 650.

Entirely possible. Displacement is only part of the equation. The
rolling resistance (weight and tires) and wind resistance of the vehicle
are equally or more important. And don't forget the right wrist, i.e.,
how much of the bike's acceleration potential is used.

Plus, BMW's are generally very good on gas mileage. My K1200GT gets between
40 to 60
mph, depending on the type of riding. Right now it averages about 43.

They also cost a heck of a lot more than your HopSing 250. So, take that
into consideration, as well.
