In the UK it is nigh on impossible to get official mile per gallon figures from the motorcycle industry.
Finding out the fuel economy of a motorcycle is really hard to come by. When researching, the best resources are often owners' clubs and forums. The problem is that there are no standardised tests to determine a bike's performance for fuel consumption, a factor that can change depending on a variety of situations.
Some manufacturers release figures based on findings from the World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC), but these come from an EU indoor bench test on a rolling road. They can often be misleading as they don't hold into account wind resistance, friction and all the real-world elements that can affect fuel consumption.
So what we've put together is a best possible guide to the most fuel efficient bikes on the market, they're not tested by Visordown or exact, but provide a good benchmark for what bikes per manufacturer get the best MPG.
