Correct answer
Fuel consumption per kilometre usually increases.
Fuel consumption per distance travelled usually rises. Higher speed increases air resistance and the power needed to overcome it; the actual effect depends on the motorcycle, gear and conditions. Speed alone does not improve aerodynamic design or shorten braking distance. The legal maximum is not compulsory: adapt speed for safety.
