I can only repeat the comments I am surprised at the figures - I get around 17 - 20 km/l on the GS1200ss (on the open road) depending on whether I am caning it or cruising. I expected better figures from the 250's

I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

Getting 250-280km before I hit the reserve on the CBR. Over 25km/L for a mixture of motorway and inner city is normal (pillioning half the distance too).

Unless you're riding it heaps and clocking up the km'sMust be the power to rate ratio having an impact, also 250's can't cruise as easily as a bigger bike. Either way its still substantially cheaper than a cageI spending more on gas than I ever did on my car

Im getting about 23-25km/l out of the SRX, havent really done a full tank of open road thou, most of mine is just getting in and out of town.
I wonder if the cyclinder configuration eg single, v tiwn, IL4, has more of an influence than the same 250cc rating. My reasoning being that IL4's would seem to use more fuel more often with the ~18k revs they get up 2 versus the 7-8k i give the SRX max

a while back i was getting 11km/l cos she was running lean but i got the carbys tickled and now i get waaaaaaay better mileage or kilometerage
For whom the bell tolls
i have managed 295km out of a tank on the ZXR250A theoretically that is 17km/L but it was pretty nana-ish riding.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

i bet you were shitting yourself that you were gonna run out of gas
For whom the bell tolls
luckily i only worked around the corner from the gas station. But yep, as i pulled in and looked in the tank there was no 'swish' noise when i wobbled the bike... was running it on what was left in the fuel hose and carbs!

My cbr250r did 220 kms on bout 16l of 98 and that was the same for highway and city rides.

I get 16km a litre if im a nanna but otherwise 11.5-12km/litre when having a play (new R6 to race with.... well, keep up with nowadays lol)
It's cool using more gas than others on a 250! Makes you think how inefficient they are. constant 16-19krpm makes for poor energy percentage availablity to wheels
