Whats everyone getting for Miles Per Gallon

[wharrah]

My GS650L seems to go thru about 80 miles before I have to get fuel when it goes to RESERVE... when I fill up, its usually about 2 gallons or so, so I figure its about 40 mpg... But, all of my driving is within my city limits for the most part, lots of stoppage and goage.

not a very big tank on that bike... I thought only harley's had small tanks... guess not.

all city as well - i'm getting around 38MPG on my GS450. rarely goes above 35 MPH so far. i guess that's not bad for mostly idling.

I ride hard and get about 30 mpg. When I'm a good boy with my wife on the back doing highway miles I get about 35.

I once did some research on a long ride.

~60 mph => 46 MPG
~70 mph => 45 MPG
~80 mph => 39 MPG

Each tank I ran until I bumped into the reserve then took the next exit (~100 mi). I ran nonstop watching the speedo the whole way in between. No more than 1/2 mile to the gas station off the interstate. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but the results can be easily summed up.

For best gas mileage, 55-70 is all about the same. This was on a 650 GL. I expect bigger bikes suffer a little less because this one runs fairly high RPM's at highway speeds.

45.945 per my last calculation.

Better that 50 in mixed driving on my 750t. The bike is stock except windshield and has less than 12k. It was about 45 before a carb rebuild.

Last three gas slips showed 44.02mpg on the highway getting to the twisties, 34.32mpg at the twisties, 43.36mpg on the way home from the twisties. 83 1100E stock engine, intake and exhaust.

On my 260 mile round trip over the Sierras and back on my 1150, I averaged 41.6. Average speed 75 mph.

[tconroy]

i've gotten 44 to 50. That's a mix city and highway driving . it all depends on fast the wrist falls sometimes it's like there is lead in there \\/ and can't figure out the problem. oh well

[snark]

I average about 50 ot 55 MPG on mixed driving. I ride about 16 miles round trip to work 6 days a week.

[Carter Turk]

I'm getting about 33 mpg on my 83 Katana 1150/1229 with GSXR carbs, jet kit pods and pipe. I think I gained 1mpg reducing the pilots back to stock 30 from 32.5. Just turned 70,000 yesturday.

[beby99]

60-65 mph = 45 mpg
70-75 mph = 50 mpg

yes, mileage increases at higher speeds.
1 tooth larger counter sprocket with windscreen, Everything else is stock. GR650 twin.

[tfb]

About 52mpg on the highway.
Somewhere around 45mpg around town.
