Hybrid Motorcycle

+1.  Vespa already get close to 100 mpg I believe.

True, but why can't we get similar mileage with a motorcycle.  We got about the same mileage from small bikes
made by Honda back in the 60s.  I think we could do better if we made it a goal.

I believe aerodynamics plays a large role.  Absolutely no reason why we cannot make it better.  Heck, I'm still waiting for an Akira bike! [moto]

Not to mention, you're going to burn more fuel pushing all that air at 100+ mph, as opposed to a scoot that only hits 42.
