7/10ths all the way.

I only know this as that's what the onboard computer currently says it is.

2003 ST4s 20km/L
2003 Tuono Racing 14km/L

Around 18k per L for a 94 VFR, 300 to 380 ish per 19L tank depending on the usual.
However takes stuff all servicing costs, like one set of front pads in 70,000k and last valve clearances about 5 years ago.- Oh and no cam chains with all that clattery stuff.

17.5 km/l in everyday use.
20 km/l on the open road.
10 km/l racetrack.

**ducatilover** · 22nd July 2011, 21:57

ZZR600D 5.5L/100km or 18.18km/l
Average riding, bit of WOT here and there, bit of beige cruising, bit of in town riding.
Runs, K&N filter, Neptune cans and re-jet.

Divide the petrol used by the Km traveled then multiply the result by 100. That = L/100km

20km/l most of the time. range of about 250km guaranteed. I always go by the trip meter. dont trust the gauge, the last 3 bars disappear faster than the 1st 3

Oh right. I just fill up and pay.

Be about six litres which doesn't look very good. Still, I wouldn't have a 1000cc twin if fuel economy was a consideration.

an 650 with yoshi/pc 17km/ltr 300ks tankful.

**xen** · 23rd July 2011, 10:38

Near 9l/100km, get about 180km to a 16l tank, yep its worth it

**xxcbr69xx** · 23rd July 2011, 12:11

2009 R1, Avg over 64,000 km

15.2 km/L
