What kind of km/L do you get on your 250?

**Mr. Peanut** · 12th October 2006, 18:18

About 14-17 depending on use ^_^ Thats before I pay for oil mind...

Use to be 25 - 30 with the Hyosung depending on how much testosterone was in my system. A quick wank before a ride increases it by 4 - 6 kmp/litre. A decent fuck will see around 10 kmp/litre.

Hyosungs are lovely mile eaters. Yep.

About 30 km/L on my GN - that's a combo of 50 kph, 70 kph, 100 kph zones every day (from Eastbourne to the city and back if that means anything to ya)

**Jeaves** · 12th October 2006, 19:32

23-26 km/l .

Oh if only you could have the economy of a GN and the fun, speed & handling of and IL4 or V-twin sports bike..the world would be a far better place :P

About 16 klicks to the Litre for my little red Hornet! Less if I'm fanging the revs (which ... I do!) And ditto for me like others have posted.

I don't care about the fuel usage! People ask me "Oh, you got a bike to beat fuel prices right?"

My reply. "Nuh-uh! In fact, my fuel bills are even more than when I used to drive my car! It's more fun to ride, ride and ride again on a bike!"

Go bike!

My FXR150 gets between 34-38km/l commuting with some highway travels.

**gamgee** · 13th October 2006, 09:48

34-38??? are you sure?? cause thats even more economical than a friggen scooter! altho, what is an fxr but a glorified scooter

I get about 18km/l using 98 slightly less on 95/6 waaay less on 91

I made the mistake once of filling up on 91 before a long trip, yeah $15 that outta do it I thought to myself (enough with margin for 96), and what happened? I ran out of gas 20kms early than I anticipated, stranded in the middle of nowhere. I had to wait an hour for the cavilry to arrive with some spare juice, while biker after biker passed me in the opposite direction, waving out and having a chuckle under their visors no doubt

funnily enough Ive run 96 ever since....

**GMGirl** · 13th October 2006, 11:54

I commute everyday on a VTR250 from Kumeu to Town and back and for about $16 to fill her up I get 310km. Yeah pretty good going I thought. Cheers

damn, your sure that's right?? thats 26-29 km/L..... commuting or highway use? Coz that's just about as good as a GN..

**apteryx_haasti** · 14th October 2006, 15:34

Just gassed my GN yesterday - 243.1 km and it took 7.3 L - that's over 33 km/litre. I use 96 and it cost me less than 11 bucks to gas 'er up.

That's a week's commuting (if I don't ride anywhere in the weekend...as if! Altho with this wind... :sob: )
