Yes, you read it right. Back when we started the very first Motorcycle Fuel Economy Guide in the world in 2005 we set out to change the way consumers could compare motorcycles like they did cars, by how efficient their engines were using gas or electric. At the time, gas was approaching $4 a gallon and there were no guides, no information and manufacturers were not regulated to publicly test or release MPG figures.
Though years of hard work, dedication and the support of many readers and 40 manufacturers we were able to not only create a guide used by schools, governments and institutions around the globe but also to raise awareness of how efficient motorcycles are. Today, motorcycle manufacturers now choose to not only list but promote MPG data on their bikes and consumers have a greater voice and a choice. We believe our Total Motorcycle Fuel Economy Guide was a catalyst for these changes and today is a better day for all riders because of it.
And we have GREAT NEWS, it’s coming back with thousands of new models. Not just the latest ones, but all the way back to 1934!!

DISCLAIMER:
US MPG and L/100km based on data from riders, manufacturers, publications and official resources. Total Motorcycle does not guarantee the accuracy of this data.
GENERAL:
Unlike automobiles, motorcycle Fuel Efficiency can be difficult to calculate and it is important to remember these numbers are general guidelines as what to expect under the exact same conditions. Each rider will get different numbers for their own motorcycle due to accessories, riding style, type and formulation of gas which varies from each city and country. Motorcycle MPG / L/100km EPA/Fuel ratings are not official or my not be indicitive of every model for that year. As these figures are NOT required by law in North America to display we wish to thank the many motorcycle manufacturers for sharing these numbers with us and with you. Enjoy our Total Motorcycle Fuel Economy Guide!
