Strange that everyone is getting sub 50mpg :o

I suppose I cant complain then at getting what I am current reaching mpg wise.  ;D

I did three hundred miles yesterday average 43mpg, that was with use of ECO mode, welsh mountain roads and the odd bit of dual carriage way, I am not that light handed with my right hand either, I'm happy with that consumption

Hi Viv

Looks like we where in the same part of the world yesterday as I was around Bala Porthmadog and Ffestiniog last night but only did 200mls

The MPG doesn't bother me at all, just keep putting the petrol in, petrol= smiles everytime I ride the Beast  ;D

Yeak I still get better MPG on the bike than I do in the diesel car so thats a bonus and another valid reason to use the bike more often.  ;D

2007 Kawasaki 1400GTR = 43Mpg average over the last 2500 miles.

1998 Honda Legend 3.5V6 = 21Mpg average over last 2 tankfuls.

Yup,.... bike is DEFINATELY cheaper!  ;D

Yesterday I accidently discovered how to reset the Average MPG on the display, I thought I was resetting the trip meter after filling up but reset the Average MPG instead.

So previous reading was 47mpg over 6000 miles, a 200 mile ride out as TEC yesterday returned 53.5mpg

There are only solutions

That's a decent result.  ;D
Let's see if anyone can beat that!

Not quite, but mine has averaged 53.2 (according to the computer) in the 10,250 miles I have had it. Battering round the back roads noticably reduces that, but my regular commute of 52 miles each way brings it back up.

65,000 miles now. Loving this bike.

How about this then, had a little ride out today and got some pretty good mpg, 60+ miles into my ride and I was getting 56.5mpg and at the end of my trip after 263 miles I still managed to get 52.8mpg.  ;D
