I decided to see what my Fazer was doing Miles Per Gallon and carried out a very scientific test to find out.
I rode from my house in Wiltshire to Blackpool to watch a football match which was 214 miles but when i did this i kept to the speed limit. This journey was 44 miles on fast A roads. The rest was all on motorway.
When i got to Blackpool i filled up and the managed to squeeze 14 litres in which was an average of 69.49mpg.
Later that day i rode home but this time i rode at 85mph all the way down the motorway as there was little traffic and then for the last 44 miles went for it a bit on the A roads.
Filled up and this time the bike took 18 litres which worked out at 54 mpg.
Just proves that the Fazer will return good mpg when ridden with a fairly heavy right hand and excellent mpg when riding with common sense.
