My haynes manual quotes my GSX-R 600 at 36 mpg

[Wave2k]

Worst average mpg I've gotten on my GSX-R is 35. Freeway mileage hovers just over 45 at 75mph.

I suspect the 600 will be better when ridden at the same speed as the 400 as you will need to thrash it less.

Of course if you go even faster, it's probably going to be less .

[Sparks!]

Can't remember what the ZXR did, but R6 was about 120 to a tank (including reserve) and the SV is meant to be about 150+ but so far I've managed 110 and 125 miles to a full tank

Think my VFR400 normally does 40-50 depending on your style of riding. I once had a 59.7mpg average over a distance of 300 miles by cruising at 70mph though.

[Ric]

on a rough guess

ive done about 125 on a tank, which is a mix of roads

my house to motorway smallish town rd's for 15 mins
motorways with a high cruising speed in 6th
then 5 mins on 50mph road till my other house

zxr400 btw

[Laura]

My cbr used to do 120 miles to 8 pouns of petrol thats sitting at about 100 on the motorway.

My ZXR did 165miles on Sunday and hadn't yet hit the reserve, that cost £12, tank was brimmed, variety of roads, speeds, mostly twisties and straights.

All in all, pretty damn good

Oh, been told to add, that was 2-up.

[Dr Nick]

I get 80miles to £11 on a good day . Hornet 600

My CBR600 will do 48mpg on my commute into work (80mph for 18 miles, 8 miles at 50mph and then 20mph for the last 2 miles).
It goes down a bit when riding for fun or travelling very fast but never less than high 30s.

Hi

Depends a lot on how you are using it. Commuting use I get about 52mpg out of the FZR600, but much of that is down very twisty lanes. Incidently about 4mpg better than I got out of the 600 Diversion in the same use.

[8316]

CBR400: thrashed is under 40mpg
steady motorway miles delivers 70mpg.
depends how you ride

i dunno on my 600 yet, can't afford to fill it up full and i can't go on reserve ( equals more petrol coming out of fuel tap, then in carbs), so i'm only doing about 60 miles, then filling with about £7

get sweet FA out of my ZXR 400 maybe about 12km per litre but then again them flatslides are supposed to just dump fuel into it.

[stevo as b4]

My zx6r, in normal road use avaerages in the low-mid 50's, but its done as much as 63mpg once, and the worst ive had is still 48mpg. I know im not trying hard enough!

I dont think that in terms of fuel costs, there will be much in it between 400 or 600cc, and so its one of the running costs that you shouldnt really worry about, compared to tyres, insurance etc.
I could afford the fuel costs on a GSXRthou, no worries, but the other factors like insurance, rate of tyre wear, servicing costs, are the real factors that will affect your choice of bike, in terms of what you can afford to run.
