1996 cbr 600, around 110 miles to reserve, which is 15 litres i believe, or 14... either way £12.

Has dropped to 85 once when i spent a few hours doing wheelies in first Embarassed

Sure i could get 130 ish but sadly i quite enjoy my back wheel overtakes and my traffic light gp's. Plus i spend f all time on motorways.

So i believe i get about 30-35 mpg (too lazy for maths right now)

Bike CBR600FX 2000W

Dont run it often from full to empty so can't give you a tank range

Full tank about £12

On monday filled to almost top, did 95 miles to Hawick and topped up with £5.50

so thats about 6.25 litres or about 1.5 gallon which cant be right cos it comes out as 63mpg, so my maths is wrong but Im guessing about 50. That was mainly 60-70 mph so I guess so. Normal riding is full throttle famous so end of week ill update with 10 quids worth!

cbr 400

on the motorway i have once done 70mpg
however, that was at a constant 8000rpm with out moving a muscle for 3.5 hours, it was agony!

But around town its about 50mpg.

If i totally cane it, (like most of the time) its about 43-45mpg
