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 Cool



Mine was averaging 55-56 until I sorted my rear brake and its now managed to keep up to 60.


I had it as low as just in the 40's when I was absolutely riding it like a loon to convince my mates it wasn't a boring bike Laughing

Somewhere between 29 and 56, depending on whether I'm commuting or using the motorway, on my VFR800. I get between 105 or 200 miles before the last fuel indicator starts blinking, and that's about 16 litres from initial blink to full when on the side-stand.

For some reason my er6f appears to be measuring in American gallons. Confused

Anyway, 34.5 MPGUS equates to 41.433 MPG in English money.

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 Sad.


My consumption on the CB1000R dropped a fair bit when I added the PCV and Yoshi, maybe 5mpg, keep it stock and you can get between 120-140 before you should need to fill it up again, some on the CB1000R forum can get 150 out a tank, but I never got close to that, but none of my riding was commuting (I have a company car that I need to use during the week) The CB1kR is a fun bike though, very nimble, and up to 80mph about as quick as anything, if you fancy one do it, if I could have afforded both I would have kept mine, but felt a bit selfish spending on a toy only I could use, so got a bike suitable for two, meaning I can share the fun with my wife or my youngest daughter.

My long term average on the FJR 1300 is 43mpg. Much of my riding on it these days is with a passenger and luggage. Best mpg was close to 60mpg on the autoroutes last year during the fuel shortages in France. Had low 20's with sustained 130+ riding on autobahns (fully loaded).

I dont commute so fuel consumption isn't a big issue but am more than happy with average of 43mpg, given the performance on tap.

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)
