Cbr600f mpg?

Had two Hondas as my last two bikes. The last one, my Honda ANF 125 was getting 150mpg, I kid you not .

On a seirous note my current 2003 Hornet (which uses an old detuned/carbed CBR engine) is averaging around 48mpg.

I would say you must be absoloutely caning it, or something isn't quite right .

An equivelant ZX6R will easily get 50mpg on a commute, I managed to get a maximum 64mpg out of mine when I had to (still on the motorway). Suzuki GSXR of similar age (I have one) is only marginally better at between 40-45mpg. That's one of the reasons why I didn't buy a CBR because of their crap fuel economy.

If it was the CBR600RR i wouldn't mind it being that low, but it's the F version. And i refuse to believe that my riding has changed that dramatically from the sv and the gsx600f that i've used to half the MPG

I'm working on the something isn't quite right as we all know (i don't think i've ridden with anyone so they can't argue with me) that i'd never cane a bike on the way to work... it's only work i'm allowed to be late

On the other hand i can't undo hte front sprocket to change the chain either so maybe i'm not meant to be riding

You should take the plundge and get the ECM checked for fult codes.
you should get 40 ish as you cant push the speed with this weather and traffic.
Engine temp sensor might be naff causing over fuleing???
What its costing you in Gas you make back in mpg saving when its right .
My cars better than your getting =:$

Okay update time now that I have done a few runs on the bike:

Litres Miles MPG
15.9 - 131 - 37.4
14.1 - 99 - 31.9
14.0 - 113 - 36.7
09.5 - 87 - 41.6
10.3 - 105 - 46.3
10.8 - 111 - 46.7

Basically shows a marked difference in city riding/commuting which the top 3 involved then proper run outs on the bottom 3 results. Combined MPG around 39.4.

All involved pretty spirited riding and speeds in excess of 90, I might give a real economy run a go sometime just to see what I can manage, but that would require determination and patience...

This guy is getting 46 mpg http://www.fuelly.com/driver/jcrawford27/cbr600rr

Not bad, but to be fair his bike is 10 years newer than mine and I also have to check my air filter etc...

Like that petrol tracking site though so I have signed up to it and filled in my fill ups so far, cheers!
