From high gas prices. Why can't we do this now?

And with style, too.

In the 30's BMW made the R2, a lightweight 198cc motorcycle that got 100 miles per gallon. And, it had a top speed of 60 mph. It was the smallest single cylinder production bike they ever made. With today's gearing that bike could do 75 easy and be a great city, light touring bike.

BTW, this was more the standard than the exception to bikes of that era.
