I must be either a complete tortoise or doing something right as checking on my bike they seem to be 43-44mpg but I can get 50+ regular.
Having said that I do not do any city or town riding and for the best part keep within speed limits[sometimes]

Somehow I think yours is realistic even with only 2 fill ups and his is bo1l0cks....his best was 80mpg...as if!

Yeah, I need to get my bike out on a proper long run to see what it will do as I suspect the short commutes and evening blasts are not conducive to good mileage. Even so I doubt I'd get in the 50's as my bike is not that type, it has a 1000cc v-twin which doesn't help and is just tooooo easy to get friendly with the throttle...I wouldn't change it for anything. It will be interesting to see how Orose's SMT mileage compares to mine once he's done his running in...

What bike are you riding DT? VFR / Triumph Speed Triple, I can't remember?

The old 955i Sprint ST with the 108bhp engine------later version is 118bhp before they changed to the 1050cc

Probably c*cked the units up somewhere, working out US gallons putting it in as UK and kilometers instead of miles or something.

Big V-Twins aren't famed for fuel economy so I would think that anything near or over 40mpg would be a bonus.

Yeah, you would think....


Date______Miles___Litres__Price___MPG
17/10/10__230.0___12.984__$0.93___80.5


Must have put in 230 miles instead of 130? Although even 130 miles to a tank is pushing it on a Tuono...

I reckon he was depressed seeing the real average and fiddled it to feel better, that might be me soon....30MPG last fill up

I think carnivore was seeing pretty good mpg on his raptor on a long, steady run. Maybe if this guy is in USA and riding like a fanny on the motorway then he could be doing even better?

I don't know anyone with a pair of b*ll*cks who could ride a V twin thou at 55mph except under extreme duress though!

Tell me about it, everytime I go out, like tonight, I think..."right, time to feed the throttle more slowly and save on fuel, I can enjoy this without nailing it" and then I lose it and the animal need for that raw power takes over ....I feel another 30mpg from Fuelly next time around

my sprint st1050 does 50 + on a run , town work is a killer , esp commute through Worcester as traffic is always bad and there are parts where can't filter as not room
