I don’t see why a modern engine couldn’t beat this, even if a little heavier and less aerodynamic.

My old VT2 Gen 3 did 7.9L/100 on the highway. A true combined average of about 13.3. Not bad, but the chassis was a piece of **** and had more power than it was really designed for. Not a lot of power by today’s standards though.
