There don't seem to be any recent mpg threads, so I'm starting a new one.
Last tank is the first time I've purposely tried to keep my max speed to 65 mph. Rewarded with a personal best of 79.4 mpg! Filled up at 251 miles, but there was about 40 miles remaining (only found out when I filled, otherwise I would have ridden further - it is always a guessing game with the fuel indicator).
I can only imagine what I would get keeping speed to a max of 55, but I don't have the patience for that.
2012 NC700X manual with Madstad windshield, pretty optimal 70 to high 80 degree temperature over the fill period. Only sop to efficiency is I don't like idling at long lights so I kill the motor. I tend to accelerate briskly but not pointlessly if I have to stop or slow a few seconds later.
68.53 mpg lifetime average over 17,562 miles (I record every drop). Cold weather fills can be as low as 62 mpg, but I don't typically ride below 45 degrees, so the average has a warm weather bias.
I'll never get up to 670cc's Fuelly average of 76 mpg of course but I am very happy with the efficiency I am getting.
