I need a few more miles per hour!

Hadn't read the original article, but was wondering when someone would mention rider weight. On one of the big motorcycle forums, it was mentioned not long ago, that in order to get better mpgs and a faster bike just lose 15 to 20 lbs. That applies to 135hp motorcycles, and applies even more to under 20hp scoots.. Now, if only I could take that advice...
