Mileage

OK with a good country run of about 220km and 106 of small city riding..

Fritz needed 10.5l of juice to be uber-full with 326 on the tripper.
Works out as 31.04km/l or 3.22L/100Km.

Last check he got 27.3Km/l ..

That's Fritz, a 250GT Hyosung .. anyone else care to post figures ?

 

My Sprint RS had amazing economy: 23-24km/l on premium....and I was about
115kgs and always took heaps of luggage.

Canberra to Phillip Island on one refill. Sweet.

I get around 17km/l around town, 20km/l at 110-120, drops to 15-16km/l
at over 140.

Each of my cylinders is 575cc.

- who will treat all comments about big jugs with the contempt they
deserve. I'll store up the kickinnanutz for later.

 

I never did the maths but at arouns 300km I would have to refill the tank
on my old (1992) GPX250. Think the tank was 17L

My XTZ660 has a 20L tank and at 300km I feel the need to refill though have
never needed to use the reserve.

 

Kilometerage?

If it's litres per 100km it would be litreage wouldn't it?

My 20-year-old Kawasaki GPZ900R returns about 19km/l on the open road.

Minx's Hyosung GT650R did about 23km/l on the same trip.

Dad's worn-out 1972 Honda CT90 delivered 40km/l on the way to
Wintersun in 2004, so I'm expecting my much newer[1] 1969 Honda CT90
to perform a little better.

By way of contrast, my 1989 Ford "Econovan" gets 6km per litre of
LPG...

[1] It has a genuine 2,600 miles on the clock.

 

if I go easy my Buel goes about the same , but if it gets a shove

 

I get about 20km/l on my commute. 55 kms one way, about 2/3 coutry-ish 1/3
city. My computer dashboard thingo reckons I never went over 177 since I
last filled up. Odometer at 400, and am 20 klicks from where I will fill up.

Oh, and my jugs are the same size as Zebee's.

Did you find the mileage improved as the bike got older?

THe first few fills on mine were all over the place, be interesting to
see how it does in the next few thousand.

Much more stop-start traffic (and thus sudden wrist twist) then I
think you get involved in though.

Zebee

 

No, if that were the case it'd be gallonage

 

here-to-there-on-how-muchage ?

distanceage ?

Tankage ?

Corkage ?

Cakeage ?

We may as well think up a global word for it if it's that important

 

About the same as which of the 5 vehicles listed above?


BTH

 

guess

 

It got slightly worse as I opened the throttle more.

I have 10,500 on it now. Yesterdays fill was 21.6 litres for 412 kms, 19
km/l or 5.25 l/100km, and that included a workshop service. Of course, in
true Italian style, the compter thought the average consumption since the
last fill was 5.8 l/100km, but I'm now used to subtracting 10% from the
reading to work out my actual consumption. From others I've spoken to,
they're all the same.

Yes, my commute is very mild even though 55 kms and 45 minutes. I'm in a 100
zone (except for Bullsbrook Township) for the first 26 kms, then 80 for the
next 16, 70 for 3, 60 for the remaining 10. I have a total of 8 traffic
lights to contend with, and I never travel at peak hour. I usually arrive at
work anywhere between 6 and 7, and leave between 2 and 3.

Econovan! And you misspelled Buell.

Theo

 

Well you should tootle your horn as you pass by the base of an afternoon,
just about where the old main gate is - I'll wave!

 

I get about 22 km/ltr on the old Suzuki GS1000G. Goes a bit further if I
don't get so happy with the throttle

 

OK. Leaving in ten minutes so about 3:30.

Missed you by _that_ much!
