I would imagine it completely depends on the bikes in question?

[danieladam199...]

there is a Lifan LF-125 and a Honda XL125 varadero

I'll throw out a few figures based on different bikes:

RS125:

RS125s have a fuel economy of roughly 45-50mpg according to MPG websites which isn't too bad, based on this you will need ~18 gallons of fuel to do 850 miles.

Using Imperial gallons, 18 gallons is about 80 litres. At £1.35 a litre it's about £110.

CG125:

CG125s have an average fuel economy of about 75-80mpg on MPG websites.

This means you'll need around 11 gallons to do the trip.

Using Imperial gallons, 11 gallons is ~50 litres. At £1.35 a litre it's around £65.

XL125:

XL125s have an average fuel economy of about 70mpg according to MPG websites.

This means you'll need around 12 gallons to do the trip.

Using Imperial gallons, 12 gallons is 54 litres. At £1.35 a litre it's around £75.

Based upon these calculations, I will come to this conclusion:

It will likely cost around ~£70-£120 per 125 per 850 mile journey depending on the motorcycle.

EDIT: I can't find any LF125 economy figures for a good average, but the above should be sufficient really.

Sounds like an 11 plus maths question - hardly rocket science to work out - kids of today I guess!!

If you can get a Lifan to last 850 miles I'll give you a medal.

At about 70mpg, & £1.31 per litre; roughly £75 per bike, in petrol.

For the XL, you'll need to do a full service before you leave, and it will be due another when you get back.

You'd be advised to get the XL running Tail-end-Charlie, & pack a spare set of brake-pads/shoes for all the e-stops it will be doing every time something falls off the Lifan in front!

Ecconomy on the Lifan may be slightly better than the XL.... you wont use petrol for those miles spent pushing it to a garage, or on the back of a recovery truck!
