Mine's pretty lean with high compression and I get 65mpg at 8, 000 rpm and 80 mph on motorways.

Ridden hard that should drop to 40-45 mpg.

are we talking £9 of v-power or £9 of tesco fuel?

between 90-110 miles for my 400 to £10 of super fuel (at 89.9p per litre back then.)

ZX6R £13 fill at £1.02 per litre for about 96 miles then the fuel light comes on and you cant see how far you've gone on it...

car: Honda civic 1.4 16v, £35 fuel for about 370 miles of pizza dlivery. Smooth.

My ZXR400 used to get about 80 miles before reserve.

Strangely, it got about the same mileage even after the 444cc rebore! :smt017 Think a tank cost me £9 or £10.

Bear in mind I don't give my bikes an easy time, and most other buggers on here seemed to be getting around 130 miles before reserve! :smt097

My VFR750 FM does around 80 miles from the same ammount of fuel (although over 140mph that V4 drinks fuel like a Scot with a bottle of Buckfast and you can see the needle going down!).

The VFR750 FG gets around 130 miles (both did, actually), but I can shove around £14 in a tank, so it's pretty much the same.

I suppose at least I'm consistant... :smt012
