Fuel consumption of your bike is...

Oil on the other hand

Can't you get 20k per litre of oil?

[Owl]

I reckon I could get mine in the 4's and it's pretty thirsty for an S3.

Maybe its the tune and arrow single race system that reduces my chances of ever seeing that sort of economy.

Well I gave it a go, but failed in the end with 5.26lt/100km I'd piss in the 4's with a lengthy downwind leg, but that'd be cheating

[BMWST?]

about 6 l 100 k which isnt very good really considering its a pretty low stress 1000 but when you got up to 35 l to burn who cares.......

Round figures - 20.5 k per litre.

Go the SV650 with the Dynajet carbie kit in it.

[CRM]

About 6.5l/100km on the VFR for mixed riding.

[Tunahunter]

completely variable, mood, terrain, throttle (ab)use, time of day, temperature, conditions.

Anywhere from low 5 to hovering around 7 is completely usual.

Snap! Same for me

Me thinks he don't go round many roundabouts on that thing!!!!!!

My little phutt phutt does around 80mpg in old money, havn't got the hang of this L/100K lark yet.

[FruitLooPs]

1st gen GSXR 750

gets ~ 7L/100km mixed riding or 14km/L

purely around town i think 13km/L . Not sure for 100% open road, but I'd like to think I could do around 300k to a tank with gentle throttle use (19L) = 15km/L

[banditrider]

5.5 on the twin

8.6 on the 4cyl

High 6's on the twin, mid 5's on the 4...

[Snails pace]

DL650 4.7l/100k single or 2 up.
FXDXT 6.5l/100k - thirsty sod

[Cheshire Cat]

317ks out of $25 gas on the 07 cbr600rr....not riding like a girl

Just by way of comparison of riding styles.

My usual riding (not totally crazy but with a bit of hooning here and there and some acceleration applied in corners) I get around 43mpg in the old money (some 15km/l)

On Sunday last I went down SH3. Sedately. Top gear and keeping just under the legal limit pretty much all of the time. I got just under 50mpg (some 17.8 km/l).

So if you want economy, control your right wrist.
