I get around 20km/l but for some reason it drops to around 14-15 when ever I go on a Kiwibiker ride. I wonder why?

Speed limits are just a suggestion, like pants.

But.... 'what' would it do if it were to run on GlenLivet or Glenmorangie?Originally Posted by What?
Sounds a bit thirsty.
My '83 CB1100 does around 13 Km/l at 110 K cruising. Cruise at 120 - 140 it drops to between 11 and 12. 10 Km/l has been known...

My '91 Gsx 1100 G does damn near 17 km/ litre even when I'm hustling a little in twisties (but not overly speeding), sounds like you need a tuneup.
Shrink wrapped
For Chch-Nelson-Chch last weekend on the GS1200 we covered 946km and 51.19L of Regular fuel = 18.5km/L or 52mpg. We weren't going overly fast 110ish with few fangs.
Just chillin'
Yeah it's due next week dosh permitting !!
A man can move much faster without a millstone around his neck, so if he gets the chance to lose her he'd better drop her and run like heck !! .. (10cc "Modern Man Blues" - Deceptive Bends)

Worst bike I had, Honda NS400R, filled up in Murchison, had to switch to reserve before Springs Junction, 19 litre tank, about 80km ride. Had to fill up with gas 4 times Nelson - Chch.
C'mon lets ride....
45 miles per Imp gallon is whats mentioned in an '89 Motor Cycle International mag.

Just reading an '84 test by "Mechanics"-The Practacle M/C Magizine. They stated 35mpg average, 47mpg at around 60-70mph and 35mpg worst.Cheers mate !! ... now where is the converter thingy ......

Interesting reading the last paragraph-" Suzuki have already taken some stick for revamping what many call an already old model, But don't be ashamed, far from it. It's easily the most powerfull engine around and the bike handles well. if Suzuki can remain compeditive with a machine that developed from earlier models they deserve a pat on the back. It's easy to bring out a new model and then replace it within a couple of years. The difficulty is bringing out a new model that is here to stay. Suzuki's got one, the others are still looking"lol. This was 20 years ago.

like i have once said, i am on first name basis with the boys at the local servo.
the zed has 39mm flatsides which are not the most eco friendly, but provide plenty of go.
just worked out that i am around 14km per litre of 96 on the road. however i have used a full tank on a track day once (of race gas @ $1.60 a litre!) in 80 kms so about 7km per litre.
yeah... sorry bro, i thought that ment miles 'n hour.

yeah but dont forget that race gas /ave gas burns a lot faster than the shit at the servo... so you wont get a true km/lt readinglike i have once said, i am on first name basis with the boys at the local servo.

Hah? :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:
Here for the arcade.
My CBR manages roughly 18 km/l. This isn't an exact measure as I didn't record exact numbers. I just filled the tank with 10 bucks worth of 98 and set the tripometer and all I remeber is the numbers rounded off

avgas is what aircraft use and race gas (shell #1) #1 is stale avgas which has past its useby date (cos ya dont want to take a chance when ya flying aye) but dosent really make a diff in our bikes.
Anyhow, at 100 octain +/- 5 the fuel burns a hole lot quicker, as in the time it takes to burn up in the head (sorry cant remember tech words) is faster than crapy 91/96 which I have seen as being up to 15oct +/- (usually below rated oct) there fore you tend to use more.
I have run 100oct and 91oct (on the rd) in most of my bikes and found that km per lt is way down on the 100oct...... but I do have to say the bikes prefure it the Guzzi actually ideled on it and the turbo had a huge mid range in provment as did the naturally asperated CX were as the VTR just pulls harder right through the rev range.

Therefore the litres used per km is higher right?
