All depends on speed (revs actually...) I can use 8l/100k if I am in a hurry, but as long as I stay under 120k/h I live below 5l/100k. And at 100k/h I manage just on 4l/100k. That is on the K1.

Be about six litres which doesn't look very good. Still, I wouldn't have a 1000cc twin if fuel economy was a consideration.

I wouldn't have a 600cc bike if running costs worried me

There, fixed it for you.

Half the pleasure of owning a Harley is irritating and annoying the owners of 'Other Brands' (tm).

You know, that other type of rider - the one that wants to own a Harley. (The rest already have one
