DISCLAIMER:
Owned reported estimates are based on data from riders rather than official sources. Since the source data cannot be verified Total Motorcycle does not guarantee the accuracy of this data.
General:
Unlike automobiles, motorcycle Fuel Efficiency is extremely difficult to calculate and it is important to remember these numbers are general guidelines as what to expect under the exact same conditions. Each rider will get different numbers for their own motorcycle due to accessories, riding style, type and formulation of gas which varies from each city.
Please Note: US MPG and Gallons are used, not Imperial. To calculate Imperial MPG and Gallons plus use the converter on the Motorcycle Fuel Economy Index Page
Personal motorcycle ratings are not official or my not be indicitive of every model for that year. As these figures are not required by law in North America to display we wish to thank the many motorcycle manufacturers for sharing these numbers with us and with you.
