This is probably not what you want to hear, but here it goes anyway.

If you spend 2k on a bike to help with fuel costs you will still have to buy fuel and insurance as well.

Option 1. Spend 2k on fuel for the G, if you get 15 mpg that will take you about 15,000 if you spend $2 a gallon.

Option 2. Spend 2k on a bike, maybe $300 a year for insurance and then gas. If the bike gets 50 mpg to travel 15,000 miles you will now spend $600. So now you have spent $900 plus what ever money you paid on the bike to travel the same miles.

It really makes more sense to just spend the money on buying gas for the G.

Hope this helps
