A souped up and light weight rice rocket will beat most stock detroit
muscle cars.

It doesn't need to be that souped up... Recently bought a 2002 Kawasaki ZX-6
(Ninja 600) from a guy at the office (only had 1200 miles on it)... It had a
problem with the carb and when I took it to the dealership to get it fixed,
the mechanic said that it was "only running on 2 and a half cylinders"...
Regardless, it was able to easily get up to 160 mpg (had to slow down for a
curve)... The bike is perfectly stock... Runs quite a bit better with the
carb fixed, but I don't think I'm going to try to top it out... The amount
that I had to lean it over to get around a slight curve on a major 4 lane
highway definitely got my adrenaline pumping... Wasn't sure I was going to
be able to make the curve...
