300 mpg... I want a Cub

Over on MonkeyBike UK they have a test Cub with the new fuel injection that they say is getting 300 mpg. That's unbelievable. I wish we had them here.

I would definitely roll the scooter if it got 300mpg.

Re: 300 mpg... I want a Cub

that would be sweet!!! When I first saw it, I was thinking there is no way that its getting 300mpg... but it MIGHT be possible with EFI. And thats a big MIGHT.

That's what I thought when I read it, but this is what's on their site:

Monkey Bike UK Home

Quote:
300 MPG Honda Mini Cub 14" Fuel Injection!
Forget the credit crunch! This has to be one of the most fuel efficient vehicles on the planet!, with an amazing 300 MPG the new Honda Mini Cub 14" Fuel Injection is an engineering feat.

Hondas cult classic Cub 50 now with an overhauled fuel injection system has achieved 300 MPG in various tests.

Our demo bike is available for viewing and already Takegawa has announced an 88cc bore up kit and ECU for this bike, more information to come. Please call us for any questions you have on the bike.

Click here for a larger image of the bike.

Re: 300 mpg... I want a Cub

I personally won't want to ride a 50cc cub on US streets as they will be slow as heck and won't get out of their own way. The 2009 Honda Monkey will be fuel injected, and my guess all of the Honda models will go in this direction in the near future.

Re: 300 mpg... I want a Cub

yea that 300 mpg is proabably at 6mph haha

and those are kinda not so cool looking at all. but you could ride for like 2 weeks on a gallon that would be kinda cool


wher can you buy the new monkeys? do you have to get them imported from japan or is ther a place in the US you can buy them? more specifically in cali
