Take one thing in account, if your bike use let's say 8lt/100km and your new bike will use 5lt/100km (to be optimistic), so you will save 3l/100km.
How many kilometers do you drive a year? Let's say 20'000km (which is a lot already), so you will save 600l of fuel, so aprox 1000$.
Now doesn't matter which bike you will buy, the price of the new bike will be what? A GS or KTM around 16'000$ to 20'000$...
You can see that you will not save money by buying a new bike, even if it use less than half the fuel of the old one.
I think the only good reason to change bike it because you want to try something else. There is nothing wrong about it. I change bike all the time, not because I need to, or because I am unhappy with it, but because I like to change and try different bikes.
I you want to save money by saving fuel, you can start saving by buying a very cheap second hand bike, and with the money saved you will be able to ride for years even if it burns more fuel.
my advice....
