    15km/l, no matter how I treat her. Rape her all day, only seems to make the brakes smell afterwards.
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Average 5.6L per 100km on the Daytona over 3500 kays. Thats 17.8 km per litre.
    The little Scorpio does about 30 - 33 km per litre commuting but that drops to around 25 km per litre out on the open road where it has to work much harder.

    ??? WTF. You got overdrive on her? Even the 1100cc Guzzi's only rated at 18.5kpl or 51.66mpg (approx) lol.

    Wow, 20km/l I can believe it.

    I have got 450 clicks on a tank when I had to at night with no open garages but 20 is like the Holy Grail. Your restraint is amazing.

    It wasn't by choice. It took every ounce of my very being to not just bugger off and leave the guy that was following myself and another mate.

    Probably average about 14k per litre out of my CBR1000RR cruising on the open road. Down to about 11k per litre fanging it. Better than my VTR1000 was which was about 11k per litre on the open road.

    The RSVR can manage about 14KM Per Litre on the open road.

    Around town it drops to roughly 11KM Per Litre.

    On a Twin cam 88 with a stage 1 kit I usually get 6 litres per 100km and it drops to 6 1/2 if I am 2 up with gear.

    So 16.7 and 15.4 km/l.

    my lightweight 650 gets at best 25km per litre but at worst maybe 10km per litre

    average might be 15 per litrebloody thirsty i reckon

    howeverereererre, the much heavier 800 beemerer getz up to almost 400km from 16 litres (the same 25km per litre) but on average gets closer to that more often than the 650

    the beemer is always cheaper to run

    My S3 is thirsty compared to previous tunes. I average a little over 16km/l. Better in standard form, but

    My K5 GSXR 750 Will do at best about 260 km for about 17L. So thats about 15.2 km per litre. It gets worse and worse the more you crack the throttle but more and more exciting. At the end of the day if you are having fun on the bike how much it uses.

    My 94 VFR gets 320 to 350K before red light comes on some 17.6L regardless of how it's ridden. Riding is commute Welly and surrounds. Got much more on the SI tour, like 360/370k. Have to say it's running costs are relatively low. Coming up to 90,000k and only fault has been its rectifier (replaced at 50,000). No bulbs blowing or anything - touch wood.
