    There's a 'Current fuel usage' display mode, it is quite fun watching it go from just over 4L/100km up to ~25L/km when chopping down a couple of gears and giving it a twist

    Ahhhh..yeah. I had one of those in a Sierra wagon years ago. They do make it obvious just how crazy you're getting...

    I want one of them!
    The 600 was using 5ish per 100km I think. The 400 was getting close to 7...

    3L/100km or 3.5L/100km giving it heaps. There's not much difference between riding normally and giving it heaps however.

    The 640A is fairly consistent for the same type of riding but varies wildly depending on usage.

    Purely on-road use is reasonable at 4.7L/100km or over 540km per tank.

    Typical adventure use over a tankful with some commuting, some highway, some gravel road, some gnarly 4wd tracks or worse: 5.8L/100km.

    Trail rides with dirt bikes, not hanging around: 9.0+ L/100km

    Haven't measured beach racing, but it's much worse

    Knowing the fuel economy can be a useful diagnostic tool. Increased consumption coupled with little choke needed in winter points to rich running from worn needle jet.
    Cheers,
    Colin
