Partial throttle means fuck all gas used, means good economy, makes perfect sense to me. However when you really open the taps and flog the thing for all it's worth then that's when it truely becomes a 150hp beast, and will use gas accordingly.

That's 17.3km/L, or 5.8L/100km.

Yeah, I got about 35mpg or so over several tanks full on a recent trip - 100-130ish km/h. Not bad.

Ouch, now that has got to be good for your fuel consumption!

Here for the arcade.
Haven't worked out what my VFR does as the trip meter has lost it's reset switch
The ol' RG150 did 100km on $10, so that works out to under 10km/L. Plus oil. Anything from now on is going to seem economical to me
Tofu please!
Hmm anybody know much about the fuel economy of the Suzuki SV's? Cheers.

2 laps around the Isle of man TT course is 75 miles, ( Not sure how many K's)
one of these GSXR 1000's will do 2 laps with 18.7 litres put in the tank, and there will be 750mil left at the end of 2 laps at flat out riding.
I know the claim is 18ltr for a tank, but if you fill up slowly and burp the air out, you can get the extra fuel in the tank.

That's 6.6km/L.
Only two and a half times less efficient than pootling through traffic, and still more fuel-efficient than my first car.
Nice to hear the measurement from the other end of the efficiency spectrum Shaun!

You're telling me a race prepped GSX-R1000 is faster than a 1963 Valiant?
Never!

Yes, that's what I thought at the time.
I was compensating.

Hmmm, if it's 2x75 miles... that's about 240 km. 240/18=13.33 km/LThat's 6.6km/L.

Sure did, was waiting for someone to ID it.
The Regal sedan. Slant six 225, bench seats with fold-down arm rests, push-button TorqueFlite auto trans, trunk (on Chryslers it's a trunk, not a boot) big enough to fit two bodies in, etc.
Also, it liked to get sideways into roundabouts.

Shaun said that two laps is 75 miles, which is what I was working from. You'd be doing pretty fucking well to get better than 13km/L from a 1000cc racebike at full chat!
