Saw this on Craigslist today, 180 mpg, just what you'll need this summer, when fuel prices skyrocket again, like it's forecast to do !!

Definitely function over form in the design aspect of this engine, especially when used in a motorcycle application .

Looked at the parts catalog in a US parts provider website, for this engine, it's got mechanical fuel injection .
