It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

just of interest to anyone
my bandit 1200 K3
it gets approx 270 km maybe nearer 280 km and you then have to turn on the reserve theres ment to be another 4.4 litres in the reserve
thats with mostly open road and little round town , Just a normal ride really bit of open throttle to.![]()
after discovering i had two petrol tank leaks, $20 to fill my tank with 98 lasts 210ish km while getting the occasional first gear ring out. so thats mint
07 r1. 208kms, then reserve light on. moderate highway and back road riding.
While we're talking about it, my RF gets 145 MILES for $27 of 96 octane.
That's about 14km/litre, or 33MPG.
Or three trips to work and back - Upper Hutt over Haywards round the inlet road (Grays Rd) to Plimmerton, and down SH1 to Tawa.
Before I replaced the chain recently, I only got 125 MILES...![]()
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

every time i went out on my 600 i used a hell of a lot more gas than the seven fiddies and thous did. All part of the logic for an upgrade.![]()
i've checked my mileage once on a run down south, at 17.6/L
:slap:
Exactly! On the 2005 Southern Cross my mates GSX750F used about 24L more fuel than my K2 Bandit for the 5,560km we travelled.
Now he has a Bandit and I'm on the 14. He generally does a little bit better but I think that the bike's now run in (6,300k's) as it's getting a lot better economy - best so far is 5.45L/100km but generally in the high 5's. The Bandit has about a 70kg weight advantage though.
It's all about how hard the bike is working.
I can get thru a full tank on my bike in 90 km's if I go hard enough..
But can also get 200 plus If i follow the speed limit
Confident the aprilia rsv4, IS the one
Fourteen months of records for my Bandit 1200K1 gives an average of 16.5km/l or 46.4mpg.
My RF900 was fairly similar.
Scorpio does 3L/100km, thats not too bad for a thousand cc bike!![]()
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
