Fuel Economy


C-bus

Recommended Posts

While searching for my next bike, I'm finding it difficult to find good data about the fuel economy. Not important to some, but it is to me as I would have difficulty justifying a jump to a less efficient bike. Without embellishments, what kind of mileage do you get? I'd like to start a reference thread here.

Current bike:

2009 Yamaha FZ6 44-51 MPG

Previous bikes:

2000 Harley 883 42-46 MPG

2002 Honda Nighthawk 250 64-70 MPG

My ZX14 gets on avg about 36, but it's geared up a couple teefers and I play once in a while.......but the on board "current mileage" calculator reads as high as 48mpg in 6th @ 75mph on 89 octane pump gas.

I could probably manage to get 80mpg's out of her if I swapped the 45 rear with a 35 tooth ;)
