>>There are 600cc sportbikes producing well over
100 horsepower, and 1000cc machines producing
close to 150 (only dealing with production machines
here). However, as power goes up, fuel economy
seems to go down.<<

Power is torque x rpm, so there are basically 2 ways
to increase power. Either burn the fuel more efficiently
(more torque) or burn it more often (more revs).

Needless to say that burning the fuel more often
is going to result in an increase in fuel consumption.

All the best
