Default MPG

Just wondered what everyone gets on their SV?

I've only recently bought a 2000 curvy and I got about 42mpg on the first tank. To be honest I was expecting a few more miles than that, bloke I bought it off said he got about 150mile before the petrol light started to flash while it came on for me at about 120mile.


Cheers
Jason

I'm getting around 150/60 to a tank but I guess it all depends on how hard you flog it.

Didn't think I rode particularly hard. I did have a CBR400 before, so thought perhaps I was used to revving it a little too much?

Looks like I'm in the same boat as you Oxford. Slight difference though compared to getting 160 to the tank!!

I'm getting about 60 mpg when I ride it but if Dave gets on it well that's a different story.

I get on average 55 to 60, reasonably progressive riding. Do not thrash it through the gears.

Wow! that's pretty impressive!

I get 120-130 before the light comes on, that's commuting through central london 40 miles a day.
