Well, yes, but engine capacity may have something to do with it. One would expect better economy from a 175 than a 750.

Actually, though people don't always realise it, oil consumption on a two stroke is usually LESS than on a four stroke. It just gets consumed slowly instead of all at once.

I believe i get about 18L/K on my Hyosung? I'm not completely sure, but that sounds about right. 260k's to a tank which is around 14L
.....your time is coming
I get about 16k's (70mpg) per litre which I guess is pretty good compared to 19mpg for my car
Hardcore Biker
Managed 19.1 Kms per Ltr or 5.5 Ltrs per 100Km (whichever you prefer) travelling back from Rotorua last weekend and that was carrying about 200kg (2 up with luggage).
Hmmm....why would I want a 250 machine to commute on.

I get 340 km out of 13 litres - and that's in Auckland traffic. (better than 26km per Litre)
The VTR seems to compete favourably against the Mighty Ginny for fuel consumption.
I generally re fill the tank around 260-310km and have never yet used the reserve tap....
Weekend cruiser
XT was typically 45mpg - 16 kpl - 6.3 l/100k
At best 57mpg - 20 kpl - 5 l/100k
R1200GS around traffic typically 41mpg - 14.5 kpl - 6.9 l/100k
Open road typically 48mpg - 17 kpl - 5.9 l/100k
Club rides up to 62mpg - 22kpl - 4.6l.100k....!

Which isnt too bad for a cbr250r
Highway Biker
My F650CS regulary gets between 25-27 km/l. It varies between summer and winter with high beam lights and heated grips
On a trip up North, riding with 2 GN250s, I got 33 km/l, which is over 90 mpg! That was way better than the GNs!
Mind you, my wife's only gets 17.7 km/l ( 50 mpg) on her Honda Jazz.

I get between 160-220kms per tank depending on how it's being ridden, (05 CBR1000) which is about $24 from near to empty.
I don't know how many litres that is, cause I don't really care - I bought it for fun not fuel economy.
I guess about as much as a small - medium car.

Me too.
I justnow when people say it must be cheaper to run the bike!
Also, I didn't buy my bike because I wanted economy.
I had one (97 GSX600F) for economy. And it really was!
Sold it to get the current steed, 'cos I wanted to have fun on it.
Yep, the most I have ever put in it is $25 fuel (at it's peak, and it will only last 180 miles if I really nana it, usually 150 miles before reserve), but the amount I spend in rubber, pads, chain, sprockets, oil...... and so on.. and so on.. More than make up for it.
In fact I would easily spend more on my bike than on the ute.
The ute only does 10l/100k if I drive at 90 (and accelerate so slowly that the road kill moves faster).
