My understanding is that the motorcycle/rider combination in most cases has a very poor coefficient of drag and that’s the largest issue at highway speeds.
Depends strongly on the motorcycle, however, as there are so many different kinds with varying amounts of bodywork. Some are absurdly efficient, like the Honda Grom, which routinely achieves over 100MPG.
Depends on the motorcycle. Anything loosely above 500cc and the fuel efficiency gets worse than a Prius.
Especially if your having “fun” with it.
One full tank of gas on your motorcycle could be enough for a lifetime…
it’s kind of shocking how bad motorcycles are at fuel efficiency given how much less mass they have to move
