Well, I definately get 16km/L. It's 10L to reserve, and I ALWAYS run out within 4km of 160km. I also work it out when filling up before hitting reserve sometimes. I'm a bit anal about knowing exactly how far I can go on a tank, and the distance of the trips I do, due to the remote nature of a lot of them. I don't know what consumption other DR650's are getting. Lemans? SDU? Do you know what you've been getting?
Merv, I'm probably as surprised at your 20km/L as you are at my 16Km/L
That's 260km per tank, that would be great.
The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!
