I think the winner used a 1988ish Honda NX250. Water cooled 250cc. I weigh 250lbs and would get 85 MPG's stock on my NX250.

Alan Smiths Ninja 250ex also had streamlining. Alan got 115mpg at Mid-Ohio. Alan rode his bike from California to Mid-Ohio to compete. His goal was to ride in from California and back on less fuel than it takes to fill his truck gas tank one time.
