    About 140-150 taking it easy, i.e. no hard accelerations.

    17 x cost of a litre of fuel = £22 max

    100-110 on my Rr5 I think that's about average for one to be honest, newer models seem to get more

    I average 140-145 before the light pops on, and filling it to the plate with the pump nozzle hole in it, is around 13.5-14 litres.

    Most I did was 182, and dumped in 17 litres.

    The riding is a mixture of open roads, motorway and congested London commuting.

    never dared to use anywhere near a full tank on a daily commute into London, reserve light comes on @ 125 odd miles .... but generally get around 41mpg how hard i ride.

    I haven't clocked my mpg when doing fast road/trackdays though

    Do you use 95 unleaded I've been putting in the 97 stuff again about 100-110 miles per tank.

    I used to get between 120-140 on my 04, but the 12 seems to easily do another 20 miles before the light comes on.

    I got 176miles out of my 2010 blade before it run out completely (which was about 200 yards from petrol station, fortunately)

    I found that my fuel consumption was better after fitting race exhaust and power commander

    No idea - I've only filled it up about 4 times so far and haven't figured out yet how to reset the tacho :D
