Petrol consumption? 2004 GSX, 2007 GPX, GT250R, Ninja 08

I know the way you ride/drive makes a big difference on the fuel consumption, but it also look like there is a bit of a difference between the bikes, ie Hyo seems to be getting more K/ltr than most others out there

With my vtr250 i can esily get 30k/L round town with a bit of motorway riding. But when i go out on the open road it drops down to round 25-27k/L.

Thats pretty close to what some of the guys on the Hyo's are getting, and i would imagine the other 250's with the parallel twins should be around the same.

2005 BMW F650GS

Average: 3.5l/100km

City/Hwy (l/100km): 3.6/3.4

For real??? Thats equivalent to a Kawasaki ZZR250!

I've had from 16k/L to about 27 on my cbr.
the hyos arnt that much different from mine. on a ride with toto we bothed filled up at consecutive gas stations and used pretty much the same amount.

My Hyo 250 Comet only gets around 400kms a tank tops still good but could be better.

[avgas]

The GOOD ones will only give you 15k/L or LESS

I had a suzi 2005 GSx and got around 400-450 out of a tank of gas.
But then i ride like a nana

About 11.5 litres fills my bike when it hits the reserve tank. Usually get about 200-240kms from that before it splutters and tells me to switch to reserve and find a servo. All depends if I'm in a hurry, revving high etc or just cruising. Still way better than the cage and 10 times the fun

I had over 2 L remaining at 400 km with my GT250 Comet.

On trips (not city traffic) I get 27 k per litre, or 80 mpg IMP.

What you on about 18km/l is very good. I get 14-16.

[disenfranchised]

A full 17L tank on the GT250R can get me anywhere from 350Km to 550Km.

That's huge, my fuel gauge reads empty at around 300Km, but I can only ever fit about 13L of fuel in to fill it up (must be a badly calibrated gauge)

So that's only 23K/L...but that's basically 100% commuting.

I guess some long trips on the open road might improve the economy figures somewhat.

I think the best thing to come out of a Hyosung is the fuel consumption. It's bloodly marvellous!

Even my GT650R does up around 23km/L.

Go teh hyobags !

After having my full license for a couple of years or more I still think that my 4 cylinder is great.

But those economy figures from those modern bikes is probably starting to really kill the value of bikes such as mine. Just as I am thinking of moving on from my little bike.

I've gotten near 300km mileage before reserve ( using up 14 litres ) of petrol a few times.

If I absolutely nana my bike using all the gears possible at speeds <60kmph I can juuuuuusssst get 20km/l. Sitting at a constant speed of 100km which is 9000rpm in 6th it does 16-18km/l =-\

btw, I'm doing a hot trip to welly this weekend. I'm gunna bash this piss outa it and see how BAD I can get the fuel economy, without killing myself in the process. Uh, yeah, itsa 650, and this is a 250 thread, my bad.
