What's your fuel economy?

Wey-hey, 605hp? - we ARE talkin' about my Harley here, not my hot rod...

Sorry thats was meant to be 6.5 HP

BUT it's $40 a pop

two an a half minutes to fill and one hour and half to empty it = music in the hills


this site should be re-named keyboard-bikers

Sixty fuckin' five raw unbridled rampant horsepower at the back wheel sunshine.

Got the dyno read-out to prove it too!

65...wow...as much as that, eh?

Oh well, I'll stay with me lightweight 600 thanks. Y'see, if I ever fell off a Harley I'd be fucked coz I'd never be able to pick it up...:

Hence why only real men own Harleys...

I was one of them once...

EDIT Actually, thinking about that, most of the guys I know round here who ride Harleys wouldn't be able to pick 'em up either if they fell off. One of them would probably have trouble picking himself up...

dohh what was i thinkin ... greedy rocket - 6.3L- 100km just returned from 6 months walkin so was keepin speed down plus rather interesting ridin the west coast down south , not over rated at all .

2 up on a zx6r, very sedate riding at or under 100kph= 5.7L/100km. gotta love toyota prius fuel economy on a 270kph beast.

Just got back from a ride to Wanganui with my sister. On the ride down (about 220kms with speed kept to about 100-110kph) the 1100 used 11 litres while the 400 used about 12.

That's borderline explosion speed! How many cats did you wound at 110?

Some are suprised at the economy of the bigger bikes ... but on such roads ... the bigger bikes dont need the number of gear changes the smaller ones do.

On long straight flatter roads ... it may be a little different ...

Good point.

PB did mention that she had to work the 400 at times to keep with me through the Paraparas.

Big lazy torque ftw.

I trundled an old GS1000 through there in the company of a GSX400 a "number" of years back ... similar result ...

Higher rev's ... same speeds ... Torque and horsepower wins ...

I would be interested to see the difference in fuel consumption between 600's and 1000's for normal riding. I don't think it would be that much actually.
