Here is Revzilla's take on a few of the current motorcycle models that get the best fuel efficiency (naturally, the Zero SR/F leads off the discussion as having the best fuel efficiency of any ICE motorcycle.):  https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/best-fuel-efficient-motorcycles-in-every-category

I can attest that at real world speeds (including riding on the interstate) my 2019 Yamaha XMAX returns over 70mpg (Yamaha claims 75, but I'm seeing more in line with 60-71 mpg consistently).  That gives me over 200 miles per 3.3gallon tank full.

My CRF250 Rally uses  3.4 liters per 100 km. My SH150 uses 2.2 liters per 100 km.
I'd love to have the cheapest Zero (FXE), but prices.

The comments section is key.  Everybody is mentioning "don't forget about premium gas", which a  lot of motorcycles need.

Fortunately our Zeros don't require any premium electricity or cables, but I wouldn't be surprised if AudioQuest jumped into the game.  Lol

Ah the perpetual confusion over the fact that US mpg is a completely different figure to UK mpg. For anyone in the UK who is confused, 1 US MPG = 1.201 UK MPG and 1 UK MPG is 0.8327 US MPG.
My wife's CB500F gets 85 UKmpg, or 70 USmpg. Also it runs on crappy E10 just fine

I always run all my bikes on cheapest available fuel. Usually 95/E10.
You do need good quality cables to charge your electric vehicle safely. There have been few instances where cheap extension cables have not been up to the task and caught fire. Sometimes the vehicle and/or house with them.

My 2017 MT-09 Tracer (a.k.a. FJ-09 in North America, now called Tracer 900 worldwide) very consistently does between 21 and 21.5 km/liter, or 49 mi/USGal.
Oddly enough, this holds at all highway speeds I've ridden any significant distance at (anywhere from 90 km/h (55mph) to 140 km/h (87mph)). I don't ride enough in cities to have data on urban efficiency.

This is on 95 octane fuel (using the EU definitions), pretty much what all gasoline vehicles run here. No Ethanol or anything similar in the fuel here whatsoever, since we don't grow sugarcane or corn in significant quantities.
