Fuel consumption?

[dhanvic08]

Hey guys, newbie here!

Just wondring how much gas does your bike(s) consume?

My CBR consumes approximately 19-22 Km/L...what about yours?

[XTC]

My XT has not had any gas in it yet.....

[dhanvic08]

hehhehehe! no gasoline?how do you make it run, push it!
just joking dude!?

[XTC]

I suppose I should elaborate.... It hasn't been started yet as I'm injured. But will be picking it up tomorrow so it will have gas put in it then.

[Silage]

GS1200 53mpg=18.5km/L
GB400 70mpg = ??

AJ

[What?]

F650GS sips around 23 Km/litre
CB1100 drinks about 12 - 13
CR250 guzzles about 100 gallons per hour...

[Rainbow Wizard]

Around 220km for $18 but that was back in late Oct when a few opportunies were exploited on long unpopulated straights and the rear was running a 45 where a 40 is standard. To save you the calc that's a 12.5% difference.

[**R1**]

R1 gets 10k's per L on the road
and 5.2k's per L on the track

[**R1**]

I forgot the kdx
that costs and arm on the way there and a leg on the way back, then theres Frikn oil :angry2:

worth it tho :2thumbsup

[Oakie]

FXR150 =
31.6 kmL as standard
29 kmL after larger jets fitted to overcome flat spot while accelerating...then...
27.5 kmL after larger rear tyre fitted to overcome shitty handling (and you don't have to spend $195 for the recommended normal size tyre ... $119 for one size up was the best money I spent on the bike)

[dhanvic08]

:spudwhat:
Hey guys let's do it simple...like this :spudwave:

CBR400RR= 19 to 22km/L :yeah:
or:
CBR400RR= average 20.5km/L

[TonyB]

Best I've gotten from my FZR1000 is 17k/litre
Shit Aaron- 10k/litre! Have you never tried riding sedately!?

[Krusti]

Consumes all the gas right to the bottom of the tank. I put the hose thingy in at the Service station and I fill it to the top. Then it consumes it all again. Cant seem to stop it happening. Seems to not go down much in the garage. Appears to only happen when I ride it. I think it has something to do with that twisty thing on the handle bar. Who knows! I'm just a dumb cow cocky.:wacko:

[Hitcher]

At a steady 110kmh the ST does about 21kml (about 0.5kml less two-up)
Around town, about 16.7kml.
Caning it away from the lights, about 2.3kml
Downhill with the wind behind it in top, about 48.6kml

[**R1**]

Best I've gotten from my FZR1000 is 17k/litre

SEE....DAAATEE....LLLYYY???? whats that mean?? :spudwhat:
10k/litre is premo ....my old kwaka used to get 8-9kpl if i was lucky....then i did have to twist the gas a lot harder to do the same stuff..

also now days i save on tyres, if the front is in the air how can it wear out??

[k14]

My cbr gets 6l per 100kms, something around 18l per litre, and thats the average over about the last 7000kms i've done on it.

[Sensei]

LOL did a full tank to resv on my GSXR1100 in 68k Yea baby :yeah: :niceone: :2thumbsup
SENSEI

[Wonko]

around 20 km/l normal riding
KB rides ets it down to 18 km/l
fanging it around town 17 km/l

[Racey Rider]

Caning it away from the lights, about 2.3kml
Caning "The Thing" away from the lights!!!
Now there's a thought to make me laugh all day tomorrow! :killingme


Someone with more time than I might like to find out whether "The Thing" or my
"Blue Thunder (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=147870#post147870)" has a better power to weight ratio for "Caning from the lights"! :Punk:


Care to put $20 bucks down on a 200 metre Caning by "Blue Thunder" mr H?! :shake:

200m? Fancy yourself, eh? Can I pick the 200m?

[Racey Rider]

200m? Fancy yourself, eh? Can I pick the 200m?

Now don't make me start a poll, about where and when,,,,
But I'm sure, (If I make it to Quasie's "gathering" in April) ,, I few fair KBer brethren would be able to mark out a suitable 200m somewhere! :cool:

Yep. There are a few good hills over that way where a 200m ascent from a standing start could be interesting...

SENSEI

did it get off the rev limiter even once in that time?!?!

[Jackrat]

Who gives a shit!!
If you need to know that, you need a new hobby,or a more powerfull bike.

[Waylander]

Can get 125 miles on a tank, from full to empty. I think its a 17L tank or somthin like that. Takes about 19-20 bucks to fill.

[jrandom]

Jack, you weren't following the threads were you - this guy's up in the Phillippines, he needs to find a bike with good fuel consumption because he doesn't exactly have a lake of high-quality gasoline just lying around for the free burning...

:lol: SLOWLY- hmmm don't think you've heard of that one either
ummmm, not fast?

[ajturbo]

ummm

the turbo has been known to get up to 12km/lt

but i have, on a trip to AKL.... 7km/lt

and around the coro...........8km/lt... :spudwhat:

round taupo race track......7km/l

that is 2 up.....

back from gissy... 10km/lt..!!!!!.. and that is when i just had to find out if the needle would go past 200.........( on a closed part of the road..bla bla bla) :brick: :brick: it didn't even get to it! :angry2: :angry2:

[dhunt]

hmmm I think my bike has been getting about 15k/litre but it has been running a bit rich so might be better now I've leaned it out a bit.

Now that diseal bike that was floating aruond here some where seemed the go, something like 150mpg if I remember right.

[Pwalo]

I am getting about 65 mpg commuting on the GS. Think I got over 70 mpg on a longer trip on my 97 GS.

This drops to about 62 mpg if I give the bike a bit of stick, but still damned cheap to run.

[ALTRON]

My NC30 can do about 250km on the open road but you could halve that just riding in built up areas.

[**R1**]

:lol: SLOWLY- hmmm don't think you've heard of that one either
ummmm, not fast?
Bike + not ride fast = why?? :spudwhat:

I have heard of slowly........thats a describing word for cages?? aint it.

[ktulu]

RGV 250 = 15km/l - 10km/l

RG 150 = 18-20km/l

Magical dream bike = 100000km/l with 250 BHP

[ManDownUnder]

6l/100km... so that's errrr 16.666666666666666667 kms per litre

Not too good but it's a 900 stuck in traffic most of the time...
MDU

[Sensei]

did it get off the rev limiter even once in that time?!?!
Yea a couple of time's when changing gear :yeah: :2thumbsup
SENSEI

[vtec]

CBR250RR - 19-20km/l

Ex Racing RGV 250 1989 Pepsi Replica - about 10km/l - unbelievable for a tiny 250, but good fun a tiny bit more fun that the CBR so not worth the hassle expense

[Jackrat]

Him I can understand,Everybody else??
Give me a break!! :whocares:

[limmy]

well....yesterday i got 240km on my CBR250RR before i had to switch to reserve. i usually change gears between 8000 - 10000rpm and also the occational race with the boy racers.

[bugjuice]

for what it's worth, I can't be arsed to work out the mpg, but I used to get 200km for 10 bucks. It had more to go, but I reset the trip then when it was near 200km, I stuck in $10.

Now the 636 does $15 for 200km.. Neither of them were empty, both bikes would/will do about 230km, but i don't like letting it run that low, just in case. I saw some poor dude on a Harley last night around 11.30pm with gas can in hand walking back to his bike.. d'oh..

[jrandom]

Him I can understand,Everybody else??
Give me a break!! :whocares:

Well, me f'rinstance, obviously I'm not (quite) scraping 5-cent coins together every time I fill the bike up so cost isn't a big deal, it's always gonna be cheaper than the car, isn't it, but since it has no reserve light and no gas gauge, I kind of like being able to just reset the trip meter every fill and know to within 10km or so when I need to fill up again. Beats fumbling for the reserve switch halfway up the harbour bridge with nowhere to pull over in heavy traffic.

OK you win,I go about 200kms then I top her up.
Still have no idea what it does per liter but,my tanks in gallons.

[Nutter34]

'03 Z1000. I get an average of 14k/l.
Includes cruising the slow bits and playing in the twisties.

[Al]

My 2000 F650GS = 26km/l@ speeds of 140+km/h! :banana:
Just returned from a jaunt to Goat Island Reserve, little traffic and no :Police:

On average I get about 15 km/l (42 mpg) with my RF900 and that too includes quite a bit of commuting.

[TOTO]

...blast from the past dug up thread...


I just got my best milage on 900 hornet - 18.665 Km/L

Thats using BP 98 octane petrol, staying up to 4000 rpm at all times on a mixed 2/3 open road/motorway and 1/3 city riding.

Yet to do a full open road test to see the milage then, that will be intereting :)

edit: also yet to do a test with the 91 and the 95 octane to compare with the 98 octane. will post up results.

[crazyhorse]

I get about 12.5km per litre out of my GSXR1000 - every bike is gonna be different, and each time you ride will be different, unless you are a 100 km/hour rider :scooter:

[one fast tl1ooo]

on a ride yesterday i got 152ks on a 17L tank and ran out in my driveway ,
tl1000 are hard on gas 9ks per L, ;)

[marty]

must be a wet day - dragging threads from 4 years ago :)

yep... :crybaby: starting to dry out, will go for a ride after lunch:yes:

actually at the time of my post I had just come back from a ride. not all of us are afraid of the water you know :bleh:

p.s. and i just woke up and going for another one :D

[HungusMaximist]

My CT110 is about 32-33 km to one litre.

[kiwifruit]

18-22 kcal per km :)

[cheviot]

only gets about 34 mpg if I ride it at a steady 100 ks.
My gsx750 gets about 18.5 kpl.

[klyong82]

My CT110 is about 32-33 km to one litre.

Thats not even I motorbike its a bicycle and a hippo riding it ;) I should take a pic of you riding it around City next time - so funny

edit: 11.5km/L on the blade mostly commuting significantly more if touring

[scumdog]

only gets about 34 mpg if I ride it at a steady 100 ks.
My gsx750 gets about 18.5 kpl.

Close on 60mpg on my 1450 Harley Superglide. (22.2kml for metric types)

Disclaimer: I may have posted something similar sometime in the past on this creaking-with-age thread.

[crash harry]

The R1's a shocker - about 8.5l/100km = 11.7km/l = 33mpg (UK gallon). That's commuting though, it's way better on the open road. Not that flash, a lot of cars do better. Mind you, they don't get the caning that the R1 does.

[TOTO]

Surely not :D

[slofox]

The SVS usta get 22-25 km/l. With a Two Bros can on it, that has dropped to 20-22 km/l. Take more out ya hafta stick more in...but I still like the Two Bros...

[gwigs]

GSX1100F 50mpg...think that is 18ks per L...... cruising .....giving it lots of wrist?....who knows.:shifty:

[Blackshear]

15km/l, no matter how I treat her. Rape her all day, only seems to make the brakes smell afterwards.

[Cloggy]

Average 5.6L per 100km on the Daytona over 3500 kays. Thats 17.8 km per litre.
The little Scorpio does about 30 - 33 km per litre commuting but that drops to around 25 km per litre out on the open road where it has to work much harder.

[MotoKuzzi]

Close on 60mpg on my 1450 Harley Superglide. (22.2kml for metric types)

Disclaimer: I may have posted something similar sometime in the past on this creaking-with-age thread.


??? WTF. You got overdrive on her? Even the 1100cc Guzzi's only rated at 18.5kpl or 51.66mpg (approx) lol.

[Max Preload]

To save time...


Ridden really sedately (like 100km/h all the way from Caltex Bombay to Shell Matamata) my 1100 has returned 60mpg (20km/l) with tank bag, tent & pack on-board.

[MaxB]

To save time...

Wow, 20km/l I can believe it.

I have got 450 clicks on a tank when I had to at night with no open garages but 20 is like the Holy Grail. Your restraint is amazing.

It wasn't by choice. It took every ounce of my very being to not just bugger off and leave the guy that was following myself and another mate.

[banjo3006]

Probably average about 14k per litre out of my CBR1000RR cruising on the open road. Down to about 11k per litre fanging it. Better than my VTR1000 was which was about 11k per litre on the open road.

[unrealone]

The RSVR can manage about 14KM Per Litre on the open road.

Around town it drops to roughly 11KM Per Litre.

[PirateJafa]

Still getting a steady 8-9km/L on the 350.

[Flip]

On a Twin cam 88 with a stage 1 kit I usually get 6 litres per 100km and it drops to 6 1/2 if I am 2 up with gear.

So 16.7 and 15.4 km/l.

[nallac]

I just got my best milage on 900 hornet - 18.665 Km/L
.


Averaged 15ish on mine got 18-19 on a hard trash/trip.


on a ride yesterday i got 152ks on a 17L tank and ran out in my driveway ,
tl1000 are hard on gas 9ks per L, ;)

Thats the same as my average on the R1 something to do with a heavy right wrist.....

[idleidolidyll]

my lightweight 650 gets at best 25km per litre but at worst maybe 10km per litre

average might be 15 per litrebloody thirsty i reckon

howeverereererre, the much heavier 800 beemerer getz up to almost 400km from 16 litres (the same 25km per litre) but on average gets closer to that more often than the 650

the beemer is always cheaper to run

[Owl]

My S3 is thirsty compared to previous tunes. I average a little over 16km/l. Better in standard form, but:whocares::banana:

[K5 750]

My K5 GSXR 750 Will do at best about 260 km for about 17L. So thats about 15.2 km per litre. It gets worse and worse the more you crack the throttle but more and more exciting. At the end of the day if you are having fun on the bike :whocares: how much it uses.

[cheshirecat]

My 94 VFR gets 320 to 350K before red light comes on some 17.6L regardless of how it's ridden. Riding is commute Welly and surrounds. Got much more on the SI tour, like 360/370k. Have to say it's running costs are relatively low. Coming up to 90,000k and only fault has been its rectifier (replaced at 50,000). No bulbs blowing or anything - touch wood.

[b1unt3d]

I get about 20 km per litre on the highway (going an average of about 145 kph) and I get about 16 km per litre in the city. That's about 5 L/100km on the highway, and 6.2 L/100km in the city. And that's on my Kawasaki Ninja 650r.. talk about a heavy foot.

Now a track day - there's a thought.

[ynot slow]

Fuel economy is nothing,until you are down to 1 line or reserve and not sure where next fuel station is.

[BASS-TREBLE]

15km/l mainly open road commuting with a few 'drop down 2 and hold on' moments, just because it never gets old, or boring.

Stock 87 FZR 1000

[Bonez]

The 550F is averaging around 47mpg on 91. Not bad considering how old and worn it is.

[quickbuck]

Now a track day - there's a thought.

Highly recommended....
