$5 not enough

[Fatjim]

Petrol for a toodle over the tukas from Upper Hutt on a firestorm. Don't ask me how I know.

[Pathos]

ouch.

even the fxr starts getting thirsty out of town, it runs off vapour in town but $5 isn't gonna get you more than 150k.

[KLOWN]

my Rg150 from $20 gets 200ks

[bungbung]

$5 on a VTR is good for 25 - 30km at todays prices

[Fishy]

$5 seem to start my bike and get me out the driveway (well it feels like that anyway). :slap:

[WRT]

Yeah? The RSV-R gets 200k's from $20 too. Maybe a little less around town or hammering it, but the open road gets me more. Even on a reasonably quick clip up from Taupo one morning I got nearly 240k's from a tank.

Worst consumption figures I have had from a road bike was on the TLR, where a tank lasted for 90k's - 'course that was round Pukie, be hard pressed to gobble that much gas on the road.

Dunno about dirt riding, the CR quite possibly uses more gas per km than even big road bikes do, especially in the sand round woodhill but I have no way of measuring it.

gutted, a full tank ($23) for me will go out to about the 240km mark before the reserve kicks in. I think i can push it out to another 60km on reserve, but so far my balls have sufficently shrunk at 40km into reserve for me to need to fill up again.

[Pwalo]

Bugger Fatjim, that VTR must be heavy to push up the 'Takas. I'd get about 100k from $5 (98), so you were a brave, brave man on the Honda.

lol I remeber getting about 100k on $15 on TS's 150 trying to keep up with the bigger bikes!

[Momentum]

$16 of 96 will get me about 220k's mix of round town and open road.

[XTC]

20Litres will take me 340kms....... Thats about $30

[ducatilover]

11l lasts 145k before reserve on the bros [sometimes it managed only 130k but that was playing twister with the right hand]:Punk:

i got 190k before reserve on the gn at country road gn speeds, but on my first few rides managed to get 220km before rserve....

[madboy]

$5 would go far if I had to carry you too Jim.

What? You make it out of the driveway?

Yeah she's thirsty alright. Have you figured out the consumption yet? PLease post if you have.

[Fishy]

From what I have read its supposed to get about 23Kms/L tested at 60km/hr. I have read in a Superbike magazine test that they got 300km's out of a full tank which sounds about right. I reckon I get around the 250-280ks out of a tank. I should really measure it and see (might do it next time I go for a long trip).

[Str8 Jacket]

hehe, I love the fact that my bike costs $8 to full from empty and thats draining the reserve... A decent ride over the Takas and around martinborough and back to wellys costs me about $10, she doesn't eat too much oil either. In saying that she doesnt go as fast and longer rides are a pain in the arse as my tanks so small I have to fill up twice as much :wacko:

You running on Avgas?? :2thumbsup

[phoenixgtr]

Nope. FXR's have a 15l tank

[phoenixgtr]

Maybe Avgas would make her move a bit quicker :msn-wink:
