Just ran across this -

Winner of the 2010 Vetter Challenge mileage contest was a Ninja 250-based custom 3-wheel vehicle that delivered 81.4 MPG.

A diesel KLR 650 delivered higher mileage (89.6), but the challenge was based on cost per mile, so the Ninja-based vehicle won due to less expensive fuel.

I'd love to get my hands on one of those KLR's. They advertise 95+mpg on those things

I bet it can do better than what it did there. Sounds like the winds were very high during the competition.

Not bad, especially considering how aero a stock KLR is...
