That gives me 120ish miles to a tank full. If I really really rag the GSXR hard in the lower gears I get alot less than that out of it though, more like 90 miles.

Re: Most economical fast bike?
just keep your rev's down, when running in my 650 i got 170 miles to a tank.
keeping to 3,4,5000 rpm makes a big diff. (and go on a diet)
