Smooth gentle riding on the SP1 pre power commander (plus I'm light) tended to net me 75 or so miles to a tank. Though tbh thrashing it didn't really make much of a difference Neutral

Once hit reserve 49 miles after filling up my aged H1. Worked out at around 18 or 19 to the gallon. But it was a fearsome old beast, huge fun.

My brother in law technically got 0 miles from a tank, he filled his bike with Diesel. Does that count?

Other than that, i've had 2.5 miles before crashing it after filling up.

Lowest I've prob got the RR to is about 100-110 miles, it tends to be pretty consistent.

It's a bit similar to the Bugatti Veyron isnt it, that'll empty itself in some stupidly low time if it runs at full pelt.

Any motorway at 3am would pretty much be OK. They tend not to have sharp corners.

Once you get above 150mph the gentle bends on UK motorways suddenly seem to get a lot more significant...


...allegedly... Wink

My recent charging issues with the Blade meant lots of revs at traffic lights etc to stop the b'stard stalling. The bike has always been a bit thirsty, but this behaviour saw gentle urban riding emptying the tank after 65 miles.

I managed 120miles from my Sprint, with a 21litre tank. Not so impressive, until you consider the best I've had has been 270. Slight difference.

Then again, there's no reason to be in top gear - you could just stay in 1st Smile

52 miles to completely empty from normal, NSL riding on my Dads American market KH350.

Looks like Kawasaki triples are well in the lead so far.

You'd be holding it against the rev-limiter in first, which may actually improve fuel economy as it keeps cutting it out - you don't need a massive amount of power to keep a bike at 70mph, while you need to use a fair bit more fuel to keep it above 150mph!

+1 It's not just about rev's, but throttle opening and load.

Flat out in 6th will give you the most load with a wide open throttle. (Unless it won't rev out in 6th, in which case 5th might be better.)
