When I was in france I was doing an average of 110+... probably that was the reason of the short mileage per tank...
And definitely, at the end is the same total trip time.. I had to do more stops!!! |

Some of you people must creep up to speed and then coast along to be getting 180 + miles out of a tank. Even when running in the most i got was 150, i now get any where from 90 (on a hard ride) to 125 (If i'm riding like a granny).
Is there much fun in striving for the best fuel economy? Just fill it up and ride it like you stole it.

I get about 130 and that's with most of the miles in Cental London with a rapid blast home to Staines.

I get great fuel economy when it's wet weather, 100-130 miles 'til the light comes on in dry weather.

slowing down to 80-90 I have done about 20 miles and still had a few litres left in the tank... on a K5 S.
Depends how you ride..... probably one of those guys that do "180 miles of a tank" could do 50? |

things that kill fuel economy:
1. hard acceleration 2. braking 3. poor gear selection 4. underinflated tyres 5. wind resistance / drag 6. high speeds smoothness, planning and a well maintained bike = key! |

Curveys flash and then go Solid. I think the K3 and K4 just go solid. K5's flash and go solid. Not sure about the K6.
