Pretty good for a bigger bike. Pretty much the same as the GPX 2007 edition. I think performance wise they are pretty similar as well (0-100 and 80-120 speed tests in Automag)

I think i need to get a more economical bike....

Honda Shadow 750 / 2up 22.5ks per liter

Hyosung GT650R on a trip, taking it nice and easy sitting on constant 100km/hr no pillion, mostly flat road.

Speedo reads 350 kms, wises says 368 kms. Tank brimmed off at wellsford, takes 15L at destination.

350km / 15Litres.

23km/L
4.3 L/100km
66.3 MPG

holy shit!! Thats mad MPG..

about 16km/l on the ZX14 if I baby it on the open road

I'd like to some day meet the idiot who invented that litres per hundred kilometres nonsense. Completely counterintuitive, ut humiliter opinor.

**Coldrider** · 15th February 2008, 15:18

20 KMs per litre on a ZX9R if I am not looking for a

to add additional cost to the ride.

No.

on my 92 1200 kitted sporty i'm getting between 220-250 k's out of a
Tank between 12 and 14 litres per fill.
so about 18-20k's a litre.

**Phurrball** · 15th February 2008, 19:32

11 to 14km/L on the Firestorm, about 22-23km/L on the VTR250 (being thrashed everywhere!)

Our FXR used to be about 30ish km/L from memory.

Somewhere on KB theres a fuel consumption conversion spreadsheet (km/L to MPG to L/100KM etc) and a milage calculator - I use it every fill and as a maintenance record. It even does graphs!

Righto, off to the corner to play with my pocket protector by myself. As you were.

**Soul.Trader** · 15th February 2008, 19:57

30 - 35km/l round town on the SR250.

**banditrider** · 15th February 2008, 20:10

Best: 19.48km/l
Worst: 13.83km/l
Average after 11,000kms: 16.58km/l

**Choco** · 15th February 2008, 20:31

GN250
- lowest (ever) 27KM/L
- Highest (ever) 33KM/L
- Av everyday 28-29KM/L.

You might laugh at it for its speed but I go twice as far as a thou

**Okey Dokey** · 16th February 2008, 12:40

This is a really interesting thread. I'm bummed to see that based on my last fill I'm only getting:

13.25k/l Suzuki GSXR 750
mostly open road

I checked this about a dozen times because I couldn't believe it was so low...

I guess it's running rich...or could it be my riding? I've never thought about the fuel efficiency before but I think I will start to note it down, at least for a while.

So my bike does 65mpg. Maybe some brainiack can convert that to young people's numbers? Haha
