I've got a 650 Bros and I've been putting £8.00 in to nearly fill it up, I'm getting roughly 123Km before I have to switch to reserve, thats about 70 miles'ish does this seem right?
I get 65 miles out of my transit Van for a tenner I know its diesel but it weighs 2.5 tonnes compared to 190KG I thought I would get alot more miles, seems a bit low to me.

£8 isn't a lot to fill up a tank, especially for a 650cc... perhaps it just has a small capacity?

depends on the riding but my heavier NTV does good MPG when ridden properly around 55mph since its almost an identical bike but heaviern due to shaft and a bigger tank , maybe theres something wrong with it , a bad airfiltermaybe? keeping the choke on all day?

Should get nearer 160km to a tank and it should hold about £9 worth.

Do you thrash it?

Petrol's about 96p a litre roughly here, Chokes only on for a few mins, I dont really thrash it, I may shoot off away from the lights but thats about it, maybe I'll fill it right up then see, still doesnt seem alot though, would be interesting to see how much is stored in reserve
