I'm probably just over 18st with my gear on etc. I do 60 mile round trip each day. Half is A road and if its possible I sit at anywhere between 70 -90 mph. The rest is through London traffic and is all 1st, 2nd gear stuff with lots of stop starts etc.

When I first got the bike it was just over 50mpg but that plummeted with the dynojetted carbs. Put my standard carbs back on last week and I've noticed straight away MPG is back up. Amazing how a tiny enlargement in MJ size affects economy so much!

I use http://www.spritmonitor.de/en to monitor fuel economy and you can add reminders at mileages or dates etc. Obviously i mess up at times so its not 100% accurate but you get the gist. Check this link for other Sv650s and click the following icon and you should see my fuelling record.
