Gas mileage is obviously a big issue in this day and age, especially with the terrible state of the economy and raised prices of practically every product on the market. Therefore, to compensate, people either need to spend less, travel less, or just altogether stay home, but there is one big alternative.
Those who don’t mind the trade-off can pick up a motorcycle, more specifically a 249 cc sports bike that gets 61 miles per gallon!
The brand new 2009 Ninja 250R is not only plausible but very affordable as well, starting out at a base price around $3,999 (US). Consumers also have the option to choose between a 12, 24, 36 or 48 month warranty (Twelve months is the standard option, therefore the others cost a little extra). The bike comes with a professional glossy finish that is available in Metallic Diablo Black, Sunbeam Red, Candy Thunder Blue, or Special Edition Lime Green. The 250R includes other standard features, such as a digital ignition, a 6 speed transmission, liquid cooling, and a 374 pound curb weight.
The bike packs quite a wallop for a small price, not to mention the fact that it is an awesome starting point for beginners. Reviews all over the board have pegged the 250R as one of the best budget sports bikes on the market, and for those who crave ultimate power and speed, a full upgrade to bigger models can take the limits to just about any height.
The body design is very sleek and sexy and has had a very huge overhaul this year compared to previous models. It mirrors the more sophisticated Ninja versions to ensure a more advanced and aerodynamic look.
Newcomers to sports bikes and even some veterans alike will enjoy picking one of these up for sheer pleasure, if not only for the extra mileage.
