MPG wise my CB500x gets in the high 60's - lower 70's in the mountains. Rarely run above 60 mph but also never ever on flat ground. Lots of low speed gravel and winding roads. Excellent little bike.
The CB1100 always gets in the lower 50's mpg, just about zero urban riding. On a 1,600 mile trip over the summer I still got 50+ mpg average in all kinds of riding.
Both the CB500x and NC700 are fun bikes, for a daily commuter I'd be tempted by the NC700 due to built in storage and low end. Lots available used at give away prices.
I have no problems with a scooter, see some Bergmans used at excellent prices and if you look hard enough can find one with a sidecar for groceries and dogs. Honda big ruckus is on my radar screen.
