50 - 54 MPG, 245+ miles per tank with mostly stock 2000 ZX-9r (21K miles on the clock). It consistently outruns every bike in the group in one way or the other. Those that can keep up or those that are slightly faster than it in the canyons usually cannot do it for more than about 90-150 miles. And those that can go for longer distances, can't keep up with it in canyons. The best part, is having a bike where I can go ~200 miles before hitting reserve, which also helps with not having to fill up with expen$ive rusty old boondock gas. One of the best range runs so far took place on a crazy twisties group ride on Saturday. I still don't understand how she went so far with the kind of RPMs I was running. I was pushing a pace that separated me and one other rider from the entire group, by over a minute. Hit reserve at 207 miles (backed it up on Sunday with a 206), pushing tank range to ~256 miles, potentially. The other rider ran two tanks through his bike, to my one tank. And don't get the wrong impression that she's only about fuel economy. She's dynamite. Feels more like my buddies ZZR-1200 in the mid-range and she'll pull the front wheel into the air in second gear passes. Best bike I have ever had the privilege of riding.
