Average MPG

[Chuck 500]

On my Suzuki GS500F I generally averaged 50+ with 60 or so on the highway.

I just got a Honda NT700V.  Wit still less than 600 miles on the bike it is getting an aggregate 52.8 mpg according to the on board computer.  The last tank averaged 48.5 MOL for only commuting and local short trips.  I haven't actually check a trip mileage yet but it seems to be 55 or so.

Keep the shiny side up,

52 on the Thunderbird. With the price of fuel, I'm getting a 125, which will do over 100 mpg. Seriously.

The BMW has averaged mid to high 40s over about 100K miles.

The TW will go as low as 55mpg if I'm really, really twisting on it, but 70ish is more common.  I know it's capable of much higher numbers, but the smaller rear sprocket and my inability to not go everywhere on it WFO mitigate against that.

this is one of the joys of chain drive... one up in the front, one down in the back = better gas mileage...

[SoCal STrider]

06 St1300 27k miles and on my last tank I averaged 38mpg regularly cruising in triple digits....

Suzuki GS500F 07, I ride in the North Georgia Mtns. and usually average around 56 MPG.

'08 BMW F800S, always between 53 - 56 mpg, no matter how hard I twist the throttle.

my baby Beemer gets 61 per gallon. And thats with one tooth down on the front sproket.  

The Uly on the other hands gets in the mid 40s.

43.6 overall since May of 10 when I purchased by '09 FJR.  About 75/25 commuting/touring so far.  That will change once the weather dries out and warms up some.

I did pretty damn good on this trip to Arizona recently and the computer on the bike showed 58 mpg average for the return trip.    I ride much more conservatively when I am alone.

40-43 from Seattle to Emerald Island NC.  Average speed 77mph over the 3500+ miles on a C14.  I have done this trip 3 times.  I only recorded data for the first trip.  90% on Interstate and I'd say 99% at 10+ MPH over the posted speed limits.

i also have a 09 ninja 250.  my best has been 70mpg, but average is around 63mpg.  i don't push starting at the red light.  i shift between 3-4k rpm.  i run 15t front sprocket and 41 rear sprocket to bring down the rpm at highway speed.  (14/45 stock)  i'm 5'8" and 170lbs.

Guys,
Of the three bikes I have on the road now my GS850 easily gets in the high 40s....my VFR gets around 40-45 mpg and my ST1300 at speeds of around 70-75 gets close to the mid 40s can't complain about that at all....

The monster has been getting  right at 50mpg  with a mix of stop and go city driving and lots of twisties riding and she needs her carbs synced and an idle adjustment.

when i originally voted in the poll, my then-bike was getting ~54. now, i'm riding a 750s and i'm averaging 45 combined city and highway. the worst so far is 42, the best 52. i need to check it sometime on a strictly highway ride and see what it will get there.

[TonyKZ1]

My Ninja 250 normally gets around 60-65 mpg.

My C14 is low to mid 40s, according to the computer

i also have a 09 ninja 250.  my best has been 70mpg, but average is around 63mpg.  

My wife got high 60s to low 70s on her 2005 Ninja 250. She is almost 5 feet and 100 lbs.

For me the ST1300 gets almost 50 mpg, the Versys gets 55 mpg and the F650GS gets 65 MPG.

My DRz gets 60 and the Concours is getting 40+ on the computer.
