Nearly bought a pommie motorbike actually. An eco bike which gave almost 200 mpg. Called a Quasar.

Hmm... I know someone was trying to market a diesel engined Enfield a few years ago that did some phenominal mileage (an 0 - 60 in about 3 days, I think). But I've not heard of the Quasar.

Oh, hello, and welcome, BTW.

Hi Sparticuss

And, just as a matter of interest, why didn't you buy the Quasar in the end? I've not heard about that one, either, but find it quite interesting. An "eco" bike, well that could almost get me back on the road again...

Hello and a warm welcome from a very chilly UK!

Can't say I 've heard of that type of bike either. 200mpg sounds good, what's the catch with it?

My mum used to live in Sheffield, maybe 30 years ago. I used to be a young, energetic jogger at the time, and jogged to the top of Meresbrook Park (mum lived at the bottom of it). I nearly died.
