I'm averaging around 64/65 (as my signature suggests!) Couldn't be happier! Still learning though so will probably drop a bit when I get more confidence through the corners, its nice just knowing that it will do that kind of MPG if you take it steady!
...Oh Yeah!

I've been getting around 58 but just serviced the bike, put a new air filter in (old one was dated July 07 when I took it out  :eek ) and stuck new iridium plugs in.
 
Let's see if it makes much difference

'99, 46k miles (44k from 1st owner), 50 miles/day through London

54mpg average

I'm a bit loathe to start changing exhaust/air filter etc away from standard as thats pretty good mpg, i can get 4 days worth of commuting before the fuel light comes on (200 miles)

ps.bouncing this old thread!

Who cares?!! Bike needs fuel? Fill 'er up!
 
Car on the other hand - well, that's a thirsty bugger, and I resent every penny that goes into it  :(

I'm consistently getting 260 miles or if a tank. And every ride is a good mix of steady speed limit cruising and redline  acceleration! And I've never been able to put me than 18.5 litres in the pump. So with another 1.5l still in there,  I reckon 270 would be possible.

I've got a K&N and a beowulf Warrior end can. But I do also have 2 more teeth at the front and two less at the back on the sprockets.

I'll have to strap a can on the back and run her to empty! !  :lol

Agreed !!!!!
I understand that some people need the bike as their main transport and every penny per mile counts, but for me I dont care, lots of people on the hobbies thread have expensive hobbies ------I dont have any- nothing, my bike IS my hobbie (if you can call it that).
I never fill up, as to do so for me is like doubling my weight!
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

I chose a fazer 600 as my work donkey as it does 55mpg when riding normally on my 40mile commute, it's done 73mpg once just to see what it could do.
My FZ1 on the other hand is lucky to hit 40mpg. Now that one IS for fun! (its measured in smiles per gallon)
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.
