Sports 600-1000s mpg?

[Bike_craze1]

Just been wondering what are sports 600-1000cc bikes like for mpg, riding sensibly and then giving it some?

I've gotten my yzf750r down to 18mpg once, was fairly happy with it.

[hmmmnz]

not really a sports bike, but if im pushing the vf1000 ill get about 150 km to 24liters of gas so 14miles per gallon
i couldnt tell you what it get riding nicely, it doesnt get used much, and when it does, well,.. it suffers at my hand

90s CBR600/ZX6 - 50mpg


CBR 929/954 - 41 mpg

ZX9 - 41 mpg

ZXR750 41-50 mpg
ZX7R 35ish mpg

GSXR750 - 35mpg

[MarJay]

Not sure, somewhere between 30 and 50mpg I don't notice to be honest. It is in the car where it hurts more.

[MarkJ]

I get 35-40 on a Honda Hornet (91-99ish CBR 600 engine) through town in rush hour never getting above 40mph. On the motorway I can get anything up to around 55mpg

[arry]

Circa 55mpg mixture of thrash and cruise - CBR6FW

[doggone]

Normal average riding you should get around 50mpg.
Being gentle (commuter mode?) 60 or better is possible.

[hmmmnz]

be surprised if i could get 30 - 40 mpg out of the vf

The 125 was amazing.

The 600F was utterly stunning - I reckon it returned around 50mpg

The 600RRs have both been totally shocking and drink petrol quicker than most 20 something year old girls i know drink tequilla.

With some spirited riding I can empty 18 litres inside 120 miles.

Depends really, griefing it will get 85 miles before reserve. (15litres) When I commuted on it, and was a bit sensible I got 120miles.

50-55mpg fast a-road commuting on a gsxr600 srad with lots of slowing down for villages / roundabouts

Plus in 50 miles you've probably used caused at least £2 worth of tyre wear.

[Chrispy]

I've worked out my average on th GSXR to be around 42 mpg but could not tell you exactly between fillups (i.e. sometimes a bit more throttle happy than others).

This is based on me getting approx 130 miles from the 14 litre fuel fill before I start eating into the reserve.

Will be interesting to see if my ave mpg goes down when the weather picks up i.e. dry roads mean faster average speeds?

i get about 100-110 miles from my k5 gsxr-750, its only got a 17l tank though.

can't say for sure that the mpg is

[Rob W]

God knows what it works out at but on the Gixxer it's a 17L tank, and it'll do on average 110-120 to a tank before I need to fill it up.

That's a combination of local commuting and giving it berries.

GSXR1100 (1052cc "slabby") with mikuni RS36 carbies and pods

40-45 on the motorway doing 80ish, 25mpg spirited riding.

FZR1000EXUP

45-50mpg on the motorway at 80ish, 25 ish spirited.

I hear the latest sports 1000s are actually pretty good on juice plodding on the motorway due to very tall top gears.

On the Blade I'm getting about 40-45mpg on the motorways. London traffic kills it completely due to mostly 1st gear work. On a serious hoon, I still get about 35mpg which is still pretty respectable.

The ZX6R was more frugal getting about 50mpg on long motorway stints and 40mpg on fast blasts.

I found that after adding an end can and having the PCIII mapped, I was getting more out of my tank by about 5 miles til reserve which on the motorway, over a long term, counts for a lot.

Pretty bad..

[craigs23]

Used to get around 40-45mpg out of my 600 sports bikes, 90% use was commuting.

Blade was around the same, if not a little more. Less need to use revs, more inclined to be lazier with the throttle. Carbs seem to be more fuel efficient than the injected bikes I've had.

[thewildblue]

2008 ZX10R,

Dropped to low 20s on a track day. Got 49mpg on way to track day with panniers tank bag and passenger cruising at 90mph on the A1M for ~50miles.

If you use the twist grip alot and spend alot of time in the 3 figure bracket (very easy as 1st gear does that) it will still sit in the high 30s no probs.

My old ZX7R could also return high 40s on a good commute, getting 150miles before reserve from time to time....that includes a quite few WOT runs into 3 figures.

[Wave2k]

I usually get around 35mpg on the SP1, i dont know how you lot get such low MPG on your 600-1000 IL4's

are you pinning the throttle in 6th at 20mph or something?, im not exactly a slow rider either.

On the thundercat I got about 45-50mpg, the gsx-r 600 barely gets 35mpg but I've not really ridden that economically yet.
