What is your bike's fuel economy?

[outlawtorn]

I reckon my fuel economy is quite good. I've got a Suzuki GZ250 and a full tank with using the reserve as well gets me 240 Miles (386 Kms). I found out the hard way and ran out of petrol one fine day. I use my bike to commute from Browns Bay to the viaduct everyday, but I also ride like a nana, probably why my fuel consumption is so good.

A mid-size bike will probably get the best economy, by virtue of the fact that you're not thrashing it to within an inch of its life (ala 250) and it's not a gas guzzling fire breathing beast (ala thou). 250 commuters weren't meant to be ridden quite the same way some people ride them.

My FZR400 did a worst of 187kms on a full tank, incl reserve, and gulped around 15 litres to fill. So what's that - 12.47km/l? I solved that problem by refitting the numberplate, improved my fuel economy no end. When I first got the bike it used to do around 18 to 19km/l, but once I got used to it the economy was down to around the 15/16 mark.

The 636 I've only filled a few times, and I'm still riding it carefully being my new toy and all - so it's gettin around mid-15s.

Running around town, my FXR150 averages 36kpl. From my log book, the worst was 34kpl and best 38kpl. For those wondering, she's stock standard.

the cbr is great on the open road loaded to unloaded sweet as, in town however when chewing up those boy racers ya ya ya ya ya ( well i try) the fuel economy ( fuel economy ?) is alot worse but the fun factor is hugely improved

the RF gets 6.4l/100km but improves if allopen road riding...

I regularly get 24+km/l commuting on my SRX600.(300+ km to tank)
XJR1300 gets 15km/l on trips.(330km to tank)
My old TRX 850 did 22km/l on trips (360km to tank)
I have no idea what my WR450 gets but will do over 100km on a tank of gas then I'm totally buggered and don't want to ride no more.

Il have to have a check the next time i fill up the tank, but I know i can go from Blenheim to Chch on one tank of gas with about $5 approx worth of gas still left in the tank.

Giving that most tank's hold 18 litre's of fuel with 3 for resv you just divide your mileage till you hit resv by your liter's Eg 220k by 15 = 14.6666 l per k

Well... I replied to the post at a measly 14.5-15km/L with very conservative commuting and now after getting new carbs installed (thanks Mt Eden cycles) i get a whopping 17.22km/L with thrashing a fair amount rather happy to fill up 7.6L after when I would usually be doing 10.3 at my usual top up distance.

Hells bells........ what do ya do.... put it on the train, I'm lucky to get to the halfway mark (actually last ride there I dident) and when I do its a $21 fill up, thats about $36 all the way.

[Zapf]

its amazing theses GSXR's.... my new / still not worn in 750 does 100km to around 5 Liters of Gas..... amazing, I thought the fuel economy would have been down the draing....

Yesterday's trip to the Trackday. My place - track - BP by the industrial area ($8) about 160km. Oh, that was 2-up and I don't ride like a nana either.

Make that a nice 18.72 (I think the new exhaust box is making it run a little leaner), she aint any hotter than normal so I 'think' its okay.
