MPG?

Post by dapex »

Just curious really, what do you guys tend to average MPG? I know it will depend on how you ride it, but just curious to know what the response is??

ZXR from what i remember - I typically averaged around 45mpg.

But just to give you an idea of how riding styles can affect your mpg. If Im riding around on my own, I typically get about 45mpg. If I'm chasing the other half on a fairly enthusiastic ride - I'll get about40mpg.
If I'm on a quick lap at the Nurburgring, I get about 32mpg :pmsl

LOL my fill-up point on mine was 80-90 miles! I doubt if I ever got over 100 from it...

Actually that seems to be the same on just about every bike I've had regardless of the tank size! Must be how I ride 'em... confuddled

At the moment I'm getting about 100 miles to a tenner on the road. So about 40mpg.
What sort of mileage do people get out of a tank before hitting reserve? I'm convinced my fuel tap is backwards - I don't hit reserve, even after putting 120 miles on it in one sitting. :smt102

Hi,

My ZXR does roughly 40mpg depending on what mood i'm in and what the weather is like. Get yourself a Hyosung GA125 Cruise II, I had 1 and it did a woping 110mpg!! 3 gallon tank! I managed to goto bath and back on 1 full tank when I was living in hemel hempstead.

Regards

Rich

according to the calculator i average around 22.7mpg on the z750 during the more entertaining summer months and about 38.2 in the winter. i'm two teeth up on the rear sprocket down one on the front from standard as i like torque and tend to keep the revs in the higher end of 6 to 12k

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
