[jimspeed]

110 miles on a proper 250 twin

[binge]

Between 15 and 20 miles to a tank on the Teezer.
But its only got a 3L tank, And due to the engine conversion, I can only use 2 of those 3 liters because the gravity fed carb sits higher than the fuel tap.


So I get 20 miles, to 2 liters of petrol. Thats 40 to the gallon. About right really.

About 200 on the ZX9R

[L4Isoside]

140 give or take on the SV

Silly really, the faster i ride (As in more i rag it) the more miles i get. I've had it as low as 80 miles before :S

[evoboy]

180 miles from the zx6r going up the mways, 130-140 when hammering it.

The X7 gives about 90miles to around 15 litres

I can get about 150 to reserve if I really put my mind to it on the old RXS.

CB500. 18l tank, so 3.96 gallons * 62mpg = 245 miles, theoretically. I guess that's if I fill the bike to the brim whilst it's on the centre stand. Realistically, reserve kicks in at 196 miles, where I've got another 2.5l, or just over half a gallon left. This puts the range more like 230 miles. I usually start looking for a garage when I've switched to reserve, so have never tested this theory

On the 125, I get about 200-ish miles. I tend to fill it up every time I hit the 300km mark (it's chinese, and I can't be arsed to fit a speedohealer), and that's a little bit before I hit reserve.
On the Bandit, I had to refill every 100 miles or so, to avoid hitting the reserve. That was mixed riding, but predominantly short journeys, because I'm fat and lazy.
I'm looking forward to the new SV, though - I'm expecting somewhere around 130 on it, and with the advent of summer, I'm planning on getting some seriously long rides in...


Mmmmm... V-twin fun.

Hi

Bandit 1200 when standard would manage about 140~150 before reserve. Think the most I dared push it to was 186 miles.

ZZR600 is managing about 175~180 before reserve in motorway use bimbling along at about 80. Push it to 90 and it use noticeably more.

All the best
