Posted: 13:47 - 23 May 2017 Post subject: MPG? |
|
|
Out of interest, what sort of average MPG are people getting out of their bikes? (don't forget to say what bike your talking about)
Mine has certainly gone up since sorting my brakes out
Im getting about 60mpg from my 2015 Tracer 900.

Absolutely nowhere near that
I always knew the KTM would be a bit hefty on fuel but I was quite surprised how so, when compared to Pigeon's Street Triple. Same miles completed, same run time, same conditions, different riders - and I'd confess I'm probably heavier on the throttle to make up the difference in the bends where Pigeon is faster but not to any massive extent I wouldn't have thought - and he was filling up with a tenner where I was sticking in getting on for 14 quid. Haven't done the maths but if I was getting close to 40 I'd be surprised; if I was told it was sub 30 I guess I wouldn't be too shocked. |

Bang on 60MPG from my 2016 Tiger 800 after 6,000 miles or so.
Equates to 200+ miles per tank every time.
Mostly commuting or touring but even so its 20MPG better than the car under the same circumstances, and much faster, so i'm happy. ____________________ Bikers make great organ donors - add your name to the register

Stupid question....
If I use MPG, how does one work out cost per mile...
So say my bike is doing 60mpg, how much is that costing me per mile if i am paying around £1.14 Per Litre
I may be missing something really obvious. ____________________ Riding: Yamaha MT-09 Tracer Occasionally Riding: 08 Suzuki SV650, Potato: 2011 Yamaha YBR Custom.

Simply x the cost per gallon by the number of litres in a gallon, then divide by your MPG. |

Convert the price per litre into gallon
1.14 x 4.54 = 5.1756
Then divide your cost per gallon by your MPG
5.1756 / 60 = 0.08626 per mile |

Type of use is significant, just splurging a figure out doesn't say much about the inherent efficiency.
On a mixed commute, slow suburban to stop-start urban, I get ~65mpg from the F650GS (grannied), only about ~70 from the Ninja 250 (battered) and somewhere north of 80 from the Enfield regardless of how it's ridden but depending on how accurate the odometer is (so, probably not very).
However, on a steady speed B-road ride on the Nazi Tractor, I can actually watch the long term average MPG rise from 65 towards 70, so it'll be getting well in excess of 70 under those circumstances. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

You should factor in wear and tear. Stuff like tyres. I'd imagine you only have to pop to your local Tesco before you had to buy a new rear one. On, say, an RE you could ride to the moon and back. ____________________ Honda CBF125 ➝ NC700X

Fazer FZS1000. I've never bothered to work it out. Since I don't have to commute, it's not important to me. If I can afford to put fuel in it, I get to ride it. If I can't, I don't. More important to me is knowing roughly what mileage I get out of a tankful, which is approaching 200 miles if I ride like a nun, between 120 and 150 if I'm having fun. That's from a 21 litre tank. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
