Fuel mileage?

**Magua** · 18th February 2008, 15:05

18 Km/L commuting.
15 Km/L on the open road.
I've seen 13km/L once, argh.

**johnnyflash** · 18th February 2008, 15:31

15.12/L lowest ever, er I might have been stretching its legs a wee mite..
17.11/L average, over 12000 kms
19.91/L was the most ever per tank, real gentle like :-)
Which for 1500cc I suppose aint too bad

Hyosung GT250 average 27km/l
Best 31.5km/l and worst 25km/l

RG500 - 8 km/ltr maybe 9 on a really good day (but thats gonna cost a set of plugs), 'bout 7 when hurrying along. Would I change it nah!

Go to this site

http://www.umgweb.com/

and click on the Used M/C Guide link. It gives data including fuel consumption on a variety of different bikes (mostly oldish). The fuel consumption figures are in miles per Imperial gallon unfortunately, but they look about right for all the bikes I've owned.

Thanks Breakaway!!

65MPG = 27.634 km / Litre. That means for my 12 litre tank I can get 331km. Never had that, I usually fill again at ~260km for about 11 litres. Another litre @ 27km is 287 +/-. 331km WTF??? Doesn't add up.

my result would be 23/L , 4.5litres to the gallon 1.6Km to a Mile so if you get 65mpg then 23.11km/L.... I think :-() assuming we are talking UK gallens not USA gallens..

My old Gixxer gives 16-19km/L. And she spits flames too

**pimslagman** · 15th March 2008, 17:36

I did 40 kms / ltr, riding in city traffic. Real good fuel economy, but the small tank (3.5ltr?) made me fill up every couple of days though...

**homer** · 15th March 2008, 17:47

Just last weekend i got 210 km and filled with just under 15 litres
thats open road 75 km and at the trac for the day about 3 ,20 min sessions in the arvo . riding in the morning was quite casual

Little more open road riding in the day as well

With such a wide varity of bikes out there it just may interest folks for a number of different reasons..no mfg bashing, just sharing some info.
I'll start:
750 Honda Shadow 25 k's per liter
250 Suzuki Intruder 32 k's per liter.

Kawasaki Versys

19 Litre Tank = 340Kms average

17ish Km per Litre..

$90 of 96 does 800ks on the ZX14 (both mine or DMNTDs riding). So is a 23ltr tank that does easily 300ks with still some in reserve (not keen to run it dry just for the sake of the exercise of knowing exact milage).
Not sure what the $s per Km is, but pretty happy with it.
SV would do Tauranga to Dairy Flats, about 280ks, but I cant remember what size tank that is (about 18-20ltrs?) and that was just only hitting reserve so still had some juice in the tank.
Guess it all depends on how hard one twists the thottle, and if commuting etc, luggage, weight of rider and luggage, pillion? etc.
