There is no dreaming at play here. The figure you refer to comes from a standardized test cycle designed to simulate real world use. The factory didn't squeeze anything, the factory didn't even test the bike(s), they supplied bikes to JAMA for testing. Anyone interested in getting better than 80 MPG Imp should be easily able to do so by common fuel saving techniques of preserving momentum by minimizing stop/starts, anticipating traffic signals far in advance, and then limiting cruising speed.Sorry but I think you guys are dreaming, I never heard of any vehicle getting way over what the factory could squeeze out of it unless it's so lean that it overheats and/or burns holes in things.
