The Cycle Barn MotorSports Group

Mileage Challenge!
To our knowledge, nobody has ever done this! Everybody talks about the fuel mileage figures attained by motorcycles and scooters, but what are the actual numbers a rider can expect to achieve in the real world over time?

We’d like to rely on our massive customer base to create some data. This research could prove valuable, and at the very least it should prove interesting! You can check back to this page whenever you want to update your reported mileage, or to check on the mileage figures being reported by others.

In order to add your personal mileage data to the research, please CLICK HERE to send an email requesting our survey, which you can then simply fill out and click Reply. All data will be kept in house and not shared with anyone. The data we present will be in aggregate form, and you can see the current updated results below.

Thanks for taking part!
