What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

[fixitsan]

On a journey that normally takes 4:25 hours overnight.......... averaging around 67mph (108kph) almost all motorways.

 

Yesterday's day-time, very congested (5:25hrs inc fuel stop) 300 miles run averaging around 55mph (88kph) + a lot of filtering done.

 

Info/figures

 

Rider a svelte 105kg.

 

Bike 2008 900A with GPR cans, Renthal 755, Yamaha +145 screen, handguards & Givi E45 topbox with backrest.

 

Full tank to full tank - on mainstand and filled to around 3mm above filler baffle when settled.

 

Hit reserve at 262 miles, (right under Scotch Corner roundabout), then 19 miles on reserve and used 18.33 litres

 

281/18.33 = 15.330 mpl  to 3dp.  multiplied by 1.609 =  24.666 kpl or 15.330 *4.546 = 69.690mpg for those in the USA used  4.843 US gall = 58.022mpg

 

I can live with the economy.

 

Glad of the Airhawk.

 

 

Not bad for a bike which is unarguably more interesting than Honda's 70mpg NC700 .....
