MPG - at the risk of sounding like an anorak...

[smileymiley]

Over the 9K miles since I bought it, mine has averaged almost 60 mpg (Imperial).


One day I must work out where the throttle thing is!

Blimey... 24500 miles on mine. 50.4 mpg!
I'm obviously doing something wrong

Turning off the engine and pushing - especially up those pesky, fuel-burning hills - can help.

My 2007 1200RT normally gets 58-65 depending on whether I load tent, camping equipment and missus onboard. This can increase the weight by at least 150 Kg

You must go everywhere at 30mph

Your welcome to join me if you can keep up. I do always use Shell Nitro in the bike and the X1 All wheel and that does 35 mpg on A and B roads

23,100 miles on my ‘11 absolutely bare, no panniers or trunk, single 210 pounds of me, proper tire inflation and not riding like a squid or “spirited” 47mpg.

Average (real) over 35650 miles - is 60.1 mpg  ..... no complaints . Worst tankful 52 , best 76.  Still on original front brake pads  , but they will need changing at next service ..... sniff

(2015 LC , previous model , an 08 ? also was about 60 mpg over 30,000 miles approx)

I cannot complain even at 47 mpg. The lowest it’s dipped is 46.1mpg around town, short interstate jaunts etc.

I have a 2018 R1200RT LC that I'm changing soon, so just out of interest, I looked at the overall average mpg. I bought the bike new and have done 15500 miles in just over 2 years. Leisure rides in the UK, weekends away, IAM observing and four trips to Bavaria and the Alps.
In the UK, I use either BP Ultimate or Shell V Power fuel and usually 'Aral' brand in Germany. The bike definitely runs smoother and feels more lively on the higher octane fuels.
I've never reset the on-board computer and the overall average mpg is showing as 57 mpg.
I'm happy with that, but I really don't care about it too much. I enjoy the bike and unless it starts guzzling fuel at an alarming rate, then I consider it to be just an 'incidental cost' of the enjoyment.

But in real gallons, that is actually 56.4 mpg ............... (cough)

I didn’t even think about imperial gallons. Thanks for the enlightenment!

The latest MPG figure on the BC was 70.6 MPG, this was against a physical full to full check which worked out at 67.4 MPG.
