yeah it's prolly been done before but anyway...

my gsxr1000 the light comes on at 105 miles. Pretty bloody lame innit. Most I've ever risked it to is 148 which was 29 miles after the light came on & riding like a bloody nun. Average over 10,000miles is 38.2mpg (yes, I've tracked them all)

150 miles at the most, and that's on a motorway run being super careful. 120 is typical.

Bandit 1250 light comes on at 135 miles (ish). Reserve is enormous so i run it 20-40 before filling, so normally 160 miles but have pushed it to 185.

Briefly had a deauville that on paper did 200+ on a tank but that was pretty much the only good aspect of it.

FZS600 Fazer holds my record though. 240 miles on a tank. Smaller tank, square headlight model too.

No idea, my back and wrists give up from maintaining a full on racing tuck at 37 mph before the tank runs out. Easily 180 to the gallon if my body didn't let it down.


Of course, anyone trying to do that sort of mpg on a 125 needs to be shot to put them out of their misery...

R1 ...

177 miles on a tank is most I've done ... Typically 165-170... In commuting use ... Fast road work around 130 ... Track about 90 ...

My Sprint does a reliable 210 miles to the tank.

It is 25 litres though!

280ish miles to reserve (15.5 litres) which still leaves 2 litres in the tank, probably good for another 30 miles. Haven't yet taken it over 300 miles on a single tank, but it'd do it.

One of the (very) few benefits of a 125. laugh

About 120 miles.

The trip says it will do 180 when its full but I have never come even close to that.

I regularly hit 240miles on my Foxeye FZS600, 230 is more like the average though, with 18/19l fill ups so I know there's another 25miles in there tongue out

Not sure what your complaining about. It's a superbike, they are not built with economy in mind. 2004 RSV, 90 miles if lucky on the road, a lot less on track.

Typically about 90 for my 1098. Front sprocket is one tooth smaller then standard though. Car is not a whole better, mind.

I get about 140 ish before the light comes on, then another 40.

After nearly running out in Wales had done 48 miles with the light on twitchy bum time. I tend not to let it get to far down if I'm not sure where I am, especially in Wales as petrol stations are far and few between + half of them you see are closed.

Don't know, don't care. I didn't buy a bike for fuel economy.

Same with the car

Anywhere from 100-120 on all my bikes. I remember eeking out 195 miles on my GSXR1000 once. Not too fun waiting for slower riders but I was amazed at the fuel economy laugh

About 250 miles, but there has always been a coupe of litres left in the tank.
