Thirstiest Bike - nick crisp - 17-09-13
Here's another extremes thread. What's the thirstiest bike you've ever had?
Mine was definitely my Denco Kwak H2. Did a run to High Beach one time, and it went on to reserve as I got there. Well, I thought, it's only about 2-3 miles to the nearest gas stop, it'll be fine. I ended up pushing it for the last couple hundred yards! :eek I swear, it would go below 15 mpg if you opened that throttle.

got to be my suzuki kettle back in 77 nursing it barely got 20mpg. :rolleyes ....thirstyist stroker i had?...had a gl1000 gold wing after that and that would only manage 25....
Re: Thirstiest Bike - ChristoT - 17-09-13
My Fazer!
Due to the restrictor, to get any power, you had to run it high up the revs.
On the Brum meet, I averaged 30mpg! :eek

Mine has to be a Honda Firestorm and it only had a 16 litre tank meaning it would pass anything bar a garage sounded fantastic though.

Thirsty bike ..........

+1 for the firestorm. Mine sounded awesome though with scorpion cans.
my cx500 used to piss petrol out of pinprick holes in the tamk seams.
my current bike came out of the showroom capable of 90mpg, in its 4 months of life I have managed to get that down to about 57mpg :rollin... big bore kit next, should take it down a bit more lol
Re: Thirstiest Bike - Aegis Bearing Mel - 17-09-13
Ehm, all my bikes seem to be the same.
:rollin
FZ6, SuperDuke and FZ1 all got about 100 miles to the tank, 1.7 miles to the litre so what ever that is to mpg wise.
Best is the wee DRZ, but even that seems thirsty compared to others.
Can't think why...

Managed to empty a tl1000s suzuki in 75 miles. Gforce cans, sounded fantastic doing it though

I've only owned a 125 and my Fazer so it'd have to be the latter. The 125 only did a couple of hundred miles before it expired (it was Chinese) so never really found out what mpg it did. The FZS isn't running right at the moment and is getting only around 45mpg :\
