    1/ A 2005 DRZ 250 uses ....10%....MORE FUEL....than a 2005 DRZ 400 SM. ( DRZ 400SM.....27Km/L on ADV.....30Km/L on SH1...)

    2/ A 1600 Capri uses MORE fuel than a 2000 OHC Capri.

    ....don't seem right, does it.........but it is......

    ......why is it so, Norty ?
    The answer is torque.

    The bigger engines seem to have less of an increase in consumption when giving it the beans compared to the smaller bikes.
    My DR650 is about 18-20Km/L no matter what you're doing (Better in the hills).
    My TT350 is 18-24Km/L.

    That 400 is getting some pretty amazing mileage...

    So I'm assuming both bikes were ridden on the same day, the same route by riders of the same weight, with the same gearing and tyres?

    Otherwise you can measure and table as much as you like, but you're still comparing apples with oranges..
    Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

    YES, YES, YES, YES, AND YES and many times over many years


    We are comparing a 250's and a 400's FUEL USAGE....AS STATED!!!



    PROVIDE FACTS...and fuck off with your meaningless metaphors...

    Your bikes are Too Rich ! (have you seen my posts with my 'new' Honda on the XR650R thread?)

    ''Evidently'' BMW 650 Dakar models get around 27km/L

    Here's a fact, my mate's DRZ400 uses more fuel on the same ride as my DRZ400, and it's got nothing to do with engine capacity.

    As an aside, I provided more of an idiom than a metaphor.

    As another aside, have you considered attending an anger management course?

    Not too rich according to the Dyno.


    I always felt the XR would be good with an electric start and some decent torque down low.
