BMW F800ST Fuel Miser - 4.2l/100km @ steady 100km/h.

It has a current fuel consumption readout on the computer, and I've found it to be pretty accurate.

Ninja 250R - 26km/L ... 3.85L/100km with pretty much WOT during any acceleration (if you can call it that) is involved.

Ford Mondeo 2.0L - 16.5km/L ... 6.05L/100km (not going over 80, neutral down hills, coasting to stops etc.)

Oh. At a steady 100km/hr?

Never tried that...

That's pretty damn good mate... a little jealous of that. Stock jetting and exhaust?

I heard those 650's get like 3.8L/100km point to point... awesome tank range and economy for long distance stuff.

Na... Yoshi tip and Dyno jetted.

I wonder what the fuel economy is on the new ninja's in NZ now since they finally got Fuel Injected models in.

Me too - never tried a steady 100kms for any fuel measuring distance.
Open road riding around 100km/hr + and averaging 85km/hr on day rides has fuel consumption of 5.5L/100km.

Pretty good economy for 1340cc engine with a good amount of poke.

It's greatly variable - size, weight and riding style have a marked effect.

We did some experiments at KR and there was 80km difference in a tankful on a FJR1200 between me and some of the lighter 'more conservative' guys.

Anything but a properly controlled test is just a curio really.
