Seems to be high 70's in Imperial Gallons
I haven't filled it at a gas station yet.
...I assume, although I never checked, that it was filled full at the dealership when I picked it up. In preparation to having it, and because it uses premium, I bought a 20 liter jerry can styled gas container and filled that up...maybe a bit more than 20 L. Since I've had the bike home I've been topping it up with a 5 liter gas container which I almost fill from that 20 L one because the bigger is just more heavy and awkward and the 5 liter one was recently bought for a Weedeater and it hasn't been needed for that purpose after all..
...Well today I filled the bike up and the 20 L container is now empty and the little one has about 3 liters in it...the bike should have 10 liters in it....so out of the 30 liters I started with I used 17 and the bike has 471 kilometers on it. I've been riding it in towns, fast highways and slower back-roads...a good mix as I'm breaking it in.
471 km for 17 L = 27.71 kmpl
471 km = 292.67 miles (miles are miles...no US miles and Imperial miles)
17 L = 4.49 US gallons = 3.74 Imperial gallons
...so that 17 L for 471 km = 65.18 mpg (US) or 78.25 mpg (Imperial)
I think that vehicles can get a little better mileage too after they are well broken in?
