Well there you go. I had those in mind as USA models only, where maybe emissions aren't as strict.
They'll get shit fuel mileage either way, compared to that 900/3.

I've been very pleasantly surprised by how economical my GSXS 1000 is, I get 50 mpg pretty much all the time other than when thrashing it amd even then it doesnt drop really low. Track riding would be a different kettle of fish. No idea how they make it so economical with a 148bhp IL4, but not complaining.

My 200 BHP monster gives high 50s mpg taking it easy. And mid 40s being enthusiastic.
