As the CAFE and EPA standards get tougher on cars and trucks we are seeing fuel economy being forced higher for most vehicles on the road. However motorcycles appear to be stagnant and even falling behind some of the cars on the road for fuel economy. Some of it makes sense that the bike is a performance machine. But there are a lot of bikes out there that don't really fall into that "performance" niche. So I am curious what you guys think? I personally feel like it is a little embarrassing that cars that weighs dramatically more, carry dramatically more can get better fuel economy than a motorcycle.
Should motorcycles be held to the same type of fuel economy standards to force manufacturers to step up their game? If the cafe standards stay on track in just a few years a lot of new cars will be getting better economy than most motorcycles. What are your thoughts?
