DIY Super-Aerodynamic Modified Honda 125cc Motorbike

Allert Jacob has turned his 100+ MPG(miles per gallon) Honda(Honda ANF125i Innova, picture below) into a 200+ MPG low-CD streamliner. Wow! Despite the modifications an extra 88lbs to the bike, it it still manages to eke out more miles per gallon, cool!
"The modified motorbike weights 319lbs (about 88lbs more than the standard bike). The engine is a fuel injected, four stroke, 125cc single, producing 9 hp (6.85 kW). A realistic figure of real-world MPG for the unmodified bike is around 114 MPG (though Allert got a 133 MPG average while babying it).
The modified bike, despite weighting 88lbs more than the unmodified version, gets over 200 MPG in real world driving (214 MPG during a trip in rather cold and windy weather, but more is expected in better conditions). This shows how important aerodynamics is for fuel economy. Sometimes it can be better to add a bit of weight if it's going to make the vehicle more slippery (and the benefits can be compounded by using taller gearing in the transmission; since you need less energy to push against air resistance, you can use gears that keep the engine at a lower RPM).

Platune has collaborated with Sand-X, a Swiss company specializing in Off-road vehicles, announced a dune vehicle, the Platune-Sand-X mobile. This vehicle is able to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds(is double as fast as a Yamaha Raptor 700 (0-100 km/h <5.4 sec.).
"For instance, Platune is particularly proud to announce that both companies currently work on the development of a Platune-Sand-X mobile, which will be only available in an exclusive limited edition. Moreover, it speaks for Sand-X when Gulf News once wrote
that the SAND-X will soon revolutionise dune riding the way we know it? for the Offroad bike is claimed to be the safest, fastest, and most powerful dune bike.
Clearly, Swiss quality and precision perfectly merged with Platune's expertise to finally conquer the unforgiving desserts of the world. In fact, the new SAND-X is able to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in as little as 2.8 seconds, which is double as fast as a Yamaha Raptor 700 (0-100 km/h <5.4 sec.). However, its breathtaking speed is not enough. The vehicle is highly maneuverable, mobile, and certainly indispensible in transporting equipment, for the SAND-X has a bigger loading capacity and is able to carry more gear combined with a bigger fuel range (>350 km) for longer operations.
