Don't you just love 'mericans

Been looking at different bikes lately and found these figures on an OFFICIAL 'merican web site…… This is a 650 single dirt bike


Fuel consumption: 0.57 litres/100 km (175.4 km/l or 412.67 mpg)

FFS! That figure wouldn`t even be achievable for a 50cc engine, ya gotta love those septics eh?

yer I can imagine the story ..that was with a 20 knot headwind and on 91ron fuel and rode the last 20mile with a flat rear tyre

Did they say that the first 300km will be propelled by the bike itself and from that point on you will be pushing the bike for the rest of your 1700km trip?
I´m sure that would equal 0.5l/100km!

Yep, you just have to love the 'mericans, and their education system .....there are more 17 year old "Afro 'merican" males in jail than at collage

Yes and some of those will be included the 96% of Americans that are classified as obese too!

A new survey by the NPD Group, a leading market research firm based in Rosemont, Ill., shows that about 62% of adults and 34% of children are overweight or obese, a percentage that has been virtually the same since 2001, says NPD vice president Harry Balzer. "I'm not saying we're getting skinnier, but no more of us are becoming overweight."
