Ok. Good. By my calculations the general moto average mpg is around 50 mpg, which is about what Raven gets.👍
What fuel mileage does your Motorcycle get?
I ride an XL 1200R and get a solid 49 MPG on my daily commute, mostly interstate highway.

Been riding the wide glide a lot lately, had the 103 cubic inch engine 6 speed tranny.
If I keep her around 65 I get a drop over 53 to the gallon, keep her around 70 with
quick passing at times, 50 a gallon and if I roll on her in the 80's at times between
45 to 48.
That's great. Most Wide Glides get about 36 mpg average.
sheesh ! even my 91 Sporty1200 gets close to 50 at times.That's great. Most Wide Glides get about 36 mpg average.
Just filled up
distance covered 175 km or 109 miles
cost to top up £9.20 @ cost per litre £1.36 = so 6.7 litres or 1.4 gallons
ergo
109 miles uses 1.4 gallons which equates to 77 mpg

My KTM 390 adventure give me about 25 km/ liter when driven leisurely . Crank it up and I get around 16 to 18 kmpl.
Did you zero that out for that tank or is that the average for the total miles? At first I didn't realize my Indian was accumulating total average for total miles. I started zeroing it out so I'd know per tank what the mpg was. Made a huge difference.
Thanks to you and my buds @r3forums.com, i learned how to reset my avg mpg. Just hold down reset button for 1 sec. My avg mpg has changed.

42 mpg, day in, day out.
I think that is darned good for a bike that weighs over 900 pounds and has a 1500 cc engine.
....and I'm not very easy on the throttle either.

;-) On this side of the "pond" ;-) we are metricated. '83 Suz 850G, 500,000 kms old, and average between 5.6 to 6.5 Litres per 100 kms. Depending on the seasonal winds and road speed. On the LONG road = 100 kms, it will drop to 5.1 Litres per 100 kms. I have forgotten how to do the conversion for y'all on that side of the water.
YBR 125 cc Carb Version 45km per Liter
Part of me does not care less about mpg since I ride for fun, not for economy. My 2021 CanAm Spyder RT gets in the low 30's, which is even lower than my former ride, a Honda Goldwing was doing which routinely was at about 37 mpg. If I want economy I can ride my Honda PCX 150 which gets between 90 and 110 mpg even with the throttle pegged fully open for about 90% of the time I am riding.
That reminds me I need to order 2 pails of race fuel before spring, I bet that's going to be insanely expensive.
It's not about miles per gallon. It's about SMILES per gallon.
Can't just stop by the local airport and get a few gallons of avgas ?That reminds me I need to order 2 pails of race fuel before spring, I bet that's going to be insanely expensive.
No need, I just phone up W.O.Stinson's in Ottawa and they send a truck right to my house with my fuel order of any VP or Sunoco race fuel I want and I never see a delivery charge.Can't just stop by the local airport and get a few gallons of avgas ?
Dang , kinda hard to beat that .No need, I just phone up W.O.Stinson's in Ottawa and they send a truck right to my house with my fuel order of any VP or Sunoco race fuel I want and I never see a delivery charge.
Well, even though it’s 1900cc I typically get about 42mpg highway. It does however like running at about 45 in 4th or 5th on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Was getting 57mpg running like that. My best friend riding an 06 Ultra Classic gassed up same time as me. He had to pull off the parkway for gas and I still had over half a tank left. 🤣🤣
He was kinda upset.
