Which model gets best MPG, 5 vs. 6 speed? - dsinned_imp - 07-03-2016
Please indicate how many miles per gallon you get on your CB1100 depending on what transmission your bike has. Thanks!

2014 dlx 6 speed as low as 54 as high as 64 mpg, usually around 57 mpg with my usual 45-60 mph. 2 lane back road riding... but extended freeway at 70 mph plus will take it down to high 40s mpg.

2014 standard 6 speed similar speeds as Ferrets. I get 52 to 59 mpg with average around 56 mpg. Out West where I am the roads have more grade to them I believe.

I get 36-40 in normal riding, which for me is not what you would consider conservative. I can easily get into the 50's if I deliberately try to hypermile. This engine seems very bi-polar: anything below 4800 RPM and its sips gas, but keeping it above that it drains it like there is a hole in the tank.

I can't seem to improve my average from 44.

I've averaged 53.6 with my 2013. 50-150 mile trips on two lane highways or back roads. http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/honda/cb1100/2013/porchie/439501

My trip to Wytheville VA and back to Wi. I got 57.3 mpg.
Mostly interstate, the best I ever got on a trip.
I checked my # twice.

Thats really good for interstate CA. WOnder how much the windshield contributed to that.

I hit 60 mpg on two tanks running cross country on the backroads in my 2013. My average was 55 for the trip out keeping it under 70 mph. My average on the trip back was 42 mpg running 80+ mph on the interstate.

I get a solid average of 45 mpg. I commute 88 miles a day on freeway and side streets. More than half of it is slow going traffic the rest is high speed...
Standard 6 speed
