Another new fuel record tonight

I go deep into the 160s before refueling. I usually get 50+ MPH by observing the recommended shift points as much as possible.

Not sure what it would be in liters or KMs but I average 57 mpg on my CB and have gotten as high as 64 mpg on 87 octane 10% ethanol (and I got some ridiculous gas mileage like 72 mpg out riding in the Rockies with Long Ranger)

lol if you notice in the pic, I'm averaging nearly 52 mpg on my 1300cc, 650 pound, 145 hp FJR. That's a range of 340 miles on it's 6.6 gallon tank although the farthest I have gone so far is 275 miles. Also on 87 octane 10% ethanol. Then again, as you know, I am a pretty conservative rider. There are guys on the FJR board that average 36 mpg. That's a pretty large spread between 36 and 52 on the same motorcycle.



Then again there are guys that only get 3000 miles out of a set of tires, and some that get 10,000 miles out of the same tire. It's all in the right wrist.

Yer results sound quite reasonable to me. If one tries, it can happen to you. Now, seriously, how exciting of a ride is that to some?

The extra tank capacity helps keep traveling along with those V-Strom 650s.
