It's around that price in the UK just now. Equivalent of $6.50ish,
although the weakish dollar makes that look higher than it really is.
The tune will only help so far, as at a certain point you've got a big
engine which will always generate lots of friction and heat, not to
mention it's a heavy bike with large surface areas.
My girlfriend's 125cc 1988 Suzuki can easily manage 85-90mpg commuting,
so maybe you need to downsize? :-D
