If I had a 25l tank I'd be aiming at the 300 miles mark on one tank!
And I'm sure this would be achievable with the GTR if you don't go over 90 mph, stay in OD and keep away from cities.
My Low Fuel warning usually starts at 190-195 and I know I've still got at least 40-50 miles left.
And I don't put the bike on the centre stand when I fill up.  :yes:
The later you brake the longer you go fast.

I have managed to get 240 miles out of my tank when travelling up to Leeds from London.  I keep it below 4k for most of the trip.

Funny though, on the way back it doesn't make it all the way home on one tank! lol  And it's all downhill!

About 47 MPG over 190 miles on trip to lakes at weekend trying to stay in high gear in eco mode and double figure speeds keeping up with 600cc sports bike leader  :smiley:

There are so many factors coming into play that is hard to compare. But on a 2000 kms trip with a mix of highway, mountains, i averaged 5.7 liters to the 100 km, which is fairly good on a bike this size. I have a PCV,  flies out, but a double exhaust Muzzy which would dramatically increase the mpg without a well tuned bike.

You will be a fan of the "eco" mode then hey Steve? :yes:
What would you rather be   or a wasp?

Lonewolf

Yeah, to be honest, there's still plenty of power there for me even in Eco mode.

LW, there's probably plenty of power for you in a 50cc moped.

No, wait. Apologies to the moped. Maybe a lawnmower engine? I  :mfr_lol:
