Fuel consumption of your bike is...

"Fuel consumption of your bike is..."

... Completely irrelevant. I ride it. I fill it up. I ride it some more.

I find my quality of life is much higher that way. Ignorance is bliss.

Although I can tell you that my old RGV250 got an amazingly economical 8l per 100km at the best of times, around 10 if I rode it normally.

Bike dash tells me bout 6lt per 100 on my day to day commute...
Can scroll through and watch it change while you are moving if you’re bored...

Early New Years I got 389kms on 17.5 litresl, or around 4.5 L/100kms. That was virtually all open road. Not bad for 1600cc!

The TDM850 gives around 19 kms/l in cruise mode.

Oh you were talking bikes. Sorry........

Still thriftier than a couple of my toys - even on a cruisy trip

I'm averaging between around 4.2 litres per hundred k's.

17 litre tank
between 200 - 220 ks on a tank on the road- about 160 - 180 trackday fun

One working day, I did about 220km in Auckland. As far north as Oteha Valley Rd and as far south as East Tamaki.

I enjoy the long rides... fill, 400km, quick break, fill bike and you, ride for another 400km, another break (always under 30min) then another 400km

Yeah, I only ever ride on the road to get to work and run errands. I save my fun for the track!

Generally I get around 45 mpg. A bit better on long trips and worse when commuting.

What's this l/100km? I never travel exactly 100km.

I get any where from 270 - 420 k's from a 23lt tank, depending on style & where (ie off road, metal or tar) speed, weight, time of day & weather but my average is around 5.5lt's per 100
