I dunno about avgerage MPG but I get between 160 and 250 miles per tank depending on the use. The tank's around 22 litres so I guess that makes it around 45-65mpg?

It really does depend on how you ride but UBG say 50MPG as average.

Next time you go to fill up take a note of how much you put in and how miles you do before reserve etc, for me I can get 130 Miles to £8.50/10 Liters of Fuel which equates to approx 60MPG.

I don't like to discuss fuel economy any more.

Mercedes drinking fuel faster than you can put it in?

I get 45mpg on my bros, ridden fairly hard.

Hi

I am getting a bit over 45mpg from my 1200 Bandit (which has been tuned a touch), and the 600 has the same size tank. I generally get around 140 miles before reserve, and have done over 180 miles without running out before now.

All the best

Not quick than I can put it in, but 25mpg on my daily commute.

Can return 40 on the motorway, but driving like that on back lanes would be rather tedious.

I get around 45-50mpg usually, best recorded figure over a 250 mile mainly-motorway distance was 59.7mpg Smile

42-45mpg no variation no matter what your doing except drag racing. As for cars, I'm with robby, would rather not discuss it.

I get between 120-130 on my Bandit 6 before reserve. I think I once worked out that it is about 45mpg.
