What is your mileage

[mongol777]

May be my search skills suck - could not find topic about the mileage.
What is your average? Your riding style (aggresive, relaxed, etc)? Highway/city?

I did not have a chance to test mine yet but when riding back from the seller - still has 1 or 2 bars left from full tank after 291KM, mostly highway.

 

[macem29]

took a decent trip a few weeks ago, about 3000km worth, cruising secondary
highways at around 90 kph for the most part and started looking for gas at
about 300, perfect timing, bike needs gas and my rear end needs a break

edit, that last bar is a brief one

I would say that I *average* 17.6 KM/L - which would be 278 KM to bingo fuel. I ride mainly back roads at a relaxed pace.

With that said, I find that in the spring and fall I ussually get about 16.3 KM/L to 16.8 KM/L and in the summer it is more in the range of 17.7 KM/L to 19 KM/L.

My last tank was 280 KM on 15 L of fuel...

Taking it easy I usually get right around 50 - 52 mpg. Piloting the rocket I have gotten as little as 36 mpg. I honestly think if I really babied it I could get 60 mpg.

 

[mongol777]

Nice - I like it more and more! On my 1st bike ('90 GS500E) I was lucky to get 200-210 out of full tank.

I think the best I've done on a tank was high 300s (km). That's with high speed sections on the highway and wicked mountain twisties. The reserve on the tank is huge. Love it.

My rear sprocket has been changed to smaller, so i am going faster than the speedo says, and going further than the odo says.

When i fill up, i always check the litres, which usually comes to around 15 litres. IE i still have just over 4 litres in my reserve and pipes etc.

That usually gets me around a clock distance of 280km, bearing in mind that number should be a touch higher. Even before the sprocket change, i got just over 20km/L as an average.

This includes a mix of slow riding at about 40km/h and high speed.

I empty the tank from full in just over 100 miles.

( this is totally scientific,as the new hospital That's coming under my wing is 102 miles away and when i ride there and back after filling to the brim,I'm running on vapour) :thumbup:

Would that not make it 204 miles?

 

[hazy]

I get about 19-20km/l.On the average,i am getting about 20km/l.

 

[SirIsaac]

I just took a three day, 1095 mile trip. Averaged 53.6 mpg for the whole trip, with a high over two partial tanks of over 57 mpg. I am a fairly relaxed rider.

Okay, once and for all, do my British friends use miles or kilometers? I thought the whole freaking world except the USA switched over to the SI system.

I am so confused.

 

[macem29]

Europe switched to SI (Metric) but the UK is still not fully part of that,
still use miles for roads and still hanging onto their own currency (lb Stirling)
they are an island in more than just geography, really the only place I'd
bother to visit over there (ready to get raked for that one )

 

[Senior]

It's MILES here in the UK, but our petrol (gasoline) is sold in litres.


Also don't forget that there are
IMPERIAL GALLONS and US GALLONS so when we are quoting MPG we should be showing MPG(IMP) or MPG(US)

1 US GALLON = 3.79 litres whereas
1 IMP GALLON = 4.55 litres

 

[mongol777]

Great - from what I hear I should be a happy camper on long trips this summer. Last year I was slow down (somewhat) for the whole group as I needed to fill up quite often. And probably my fear of empty tanks added to it but not much. As soon as fuel in tank goes just a bit below 1/2 - I am starting to get really nervous, car or bike

 

[Ridgeback]

Would that not make it 204 miles?

Sorry,my bad. It's 102 miles total there and back

 

[pipnash]

Sorry,my bad. It's 102 miles total there and back

My god I would get that checked out as that is only around 25mpg (imp) by my reckoning

hmm I do tend to cane it a bit down the A3.......:spank:

 

[Adirondack Jack]

I am constantly checking mpg. At 60/65 mph I'm consistently 50 mpg. Just an aside....Last week I almost had an "ah ****" moment when I forgot to fuel up before heading for home. Gas stations are few and far between here. I put 35 miles on the bike in the F-trip (reserve) mode. Still had some fuel left. That was an eye opener.

 

[sabre]

I have gotten a high of 52MPG(US) and a low of 34MPG(US). I average about 42-43MPG(US). I have gone about 40 miles on reserve and still had about a half gallon in the tank, so I wouldn't ge nervous around the halfway mark. I usually start looking for fuel when the F-Trip starts.

 

[Skrapiron]

I average between 47 and 54mpg, it just depends on how brisk I am with the throttle. If I really baby it and keep the engine to between 4000 and 5000rpm, I see low to mid 50mpg on a regular basis.

It's nice knowing my bike gets better fuel economy that a Prius.... And cost about 1/5th as much!!! The smiles per gallon, though are immeasurable! :rockon:
