100mpg on the YBR, not sure on the Enf as I've not finished playing around with the carb/timing - last tank was 57mpg.

44.8 on my 1215cc Triumph Trophy. Non of that is motorway miles so I would expect a bit better on a long journey.

GSXR1000 K1, thrash the shit out of it most days and see around 32-35 MPG.

If I act reasonably sensibly (get it in 6th quickly and stay under 120) then I have seen low to mid 40's.

I suspect if grannied at legal speeds, short shifted and limiting acceleration to (sports) car pace I could see high 40's.......... but why the fuck own a litre bike and do that.

[Bigvern72]

Done 3000 miles on my tracer 700 so far and the clock says 60mpg.

I "think" I get a similar mpg from the America, as I seem to put the same amount in and get the same mileage per tank. Prolly a little less.

Not 100% certain, I've only let it run down to reserve once and the tap is in such an awkward place I'm not confident getting to it fast enough next time (it was a dead road at 11pm last time).

The commute is 27 miles, with approx 12 miles grindy grindy stop-start (time dependant), the rest being mostly 40-50 A roads (until I pass through the small towns with traffic lights that inevitably have traffic tailbacks).

I get around 200 to a tank (not reserve) which is 15.5L, though I usually wuss out around 185/90. So just shy of 60 over nearly 4k. If I wasn't enjoying the bike so much I'd hope for 65+, maybe I'll practise reaching the damn tap while riding.

Around 66mpg from the DT however I rag it.

I run it to 100 and fill and it's usually around £8 worth

Get about 48mpg on the K100 looking for a new smaller bike soon for commuting only with good mpg. Not sure what to go for at the moment.

On my bike do have a large air leak waiting on parts to sort that out so could be better.

Worst 36 mpg best 47 mpg, average over last 1800 miles 43 mpg FJR 1300, very little of that motorway, I'm happy with that, was averaging 36mpg on my CB1000R with PCV/Autotune/Yoshi R77 ¾ and speeds, roads and conditions similar, FJR probably faster in places and much of that two up.

Suffice to say would hardly pass a petrol station with the Honda (18l tank) now I fly by them (25.5l tank)

Ive known some to get near 60mpg on the FJR, but they must be my granny.

[mentalboy]

As pointed out by Roger, the figure is meaningless.
My '94 ZZR1100 returned very nearly 50mpg on a week long tour, two's up with well packed panniers and top box.
It also treated me to 15mpg for a couple or three tankfuls on several occasions when I might have engaged WOT for a while!!
I liked to aim for 35mpg, which could be reasonably spirited riding but keeping it under 6K rpm.

44.2 mpg according to my display, GSX-S1000. I have had it in low 50's on a motorway but country roads soon brings it down.

I am getting about 50mpg on the FZ6 which is about the same as I got on the GS500 but much more fun.

I have been looking at CB1000r's lately which looks like it would end up costing me another £8-10 a week in fuel. This part isn't the problem its just the having to stop to fill the thing that annoys me. Currently I am having to fill up twice a week but with the CB this would be every other day looking at reported tank ranges .

My '91 VFR is averaging 16 km/L, while the girlfriend's '83 GSX400FZ does a tiny bit more. Some times I long for the 22 km/L that my old NTV could do without being a granny...

[Baffler186]

I was getting 47mpg on the FZ6, mostly short commutes and the odd bit of DCW.

On the SV it's up into the higher 50's because on the commutes I ride it like a Diesel car, don't think I go above 5k rpm most days due to traffic, rain and rubbish surfaces, but having said that the ride is pretty constant with few traffic lights, so I can just chug along at 3k rpm.

My old Bandit had something wrong with it, and was getting 18mpg.

Between 40 - 45mpg on my ZX6R (C1H)

Probably a quarter of that is exploding in my exhaust when i ease off the throttle

On my '15 Tracer I am getting around 55mpg which is more than enough to not have to panic when touring about where the next fuel station is

[Tracer1234]

[DrSnoosnoo]

I get between 55 and 62 mpg (12.5 and 13.6 miles per litre) on my ZZR. That's a 50 mile round trip commute, 16 miles of 30/40 zones and the rest NSL A roads over the hills.

I have recently converted my thinking to miles per litre. Seeing as I buy fuel in litres, it's an easier sum to do in my head than adding in an extra conversion.

My Pignis does quite well too, because it's so light I'm getting around 10 miles per litre.
