I am slightly larger now.......but so is the bike I’ll see what I can do

I thought very seriously about one of them recently. Over 100mpg and I love the look of them.

Only 150 other bike between the 2 of them as well

You need a 500cc EFI Enfield, like a C5 Classic or a B5 Bullet.

90mpg+ even when thrashed, but proper bike sized, not much faster than a 125cc top speed wise, but loads more torque. I love my B5 for tootling around on.

My little KTM is returning 78mpg so far including short town journeys (2 miles) and one longer one too. It'll sit happily at motorway speeds. It's a great bike for a tight arse like me. Those Enfields sound more frugal but I don't know if they'll sit at 75mph ok.

I got 82mph on the clock once before the headlamp fell out.
