Generally speaking, the smaller the engine, the better the mileage.
Most common fault for poor fuel consumption is dirty air filters, an aggressive hand & and bad riding practices. Fuel consumption is like asking how long a piece of string is. It all boils down to how hard you accelerate, how much stop & staring you do, how much highway work you do. Bike have advanced so much these last few years there's nor much in them at all. There all getting lighter, faster & more advanced.
If you are after a bike for cheaper transport beware. They require more servicing mostly every 6000km, depending where you live air filters every 12000km. Bikes all vary, 750 & 1000CC injected bikes are probably the best. Fitting a power commander is a good example as you are able to remap these. Leaning the bike off in areas needed and richening them where needed. Every bike is different in their requirement. Your best bet is to just get out there and find a bike you feel comfortable on, you feel you can handle (not going to kill yourself on). One that just feels right. Every one is different, everyone handles different. Decide what type of riding you want to do and look for the model that suits your needs.
