Fuel efficiency- Manual or DCT?

Soggy and Bama- those numbers go up after 1k of miles.

I be good with 70 mpg in Az, normal speed in town is 65, 120 hyway. can get much better mpg with those limits!

Is there a MPG readout on the dash? If so, how does it react when you hit a real 70 mph (gps, not indicated). My current bike starts going down as I get above a real 60 mph.

There is no MPG readout on the dash. Everyone is going off how many miles ridden since last fill up and how much gas you put in to fill it up.

And... amazingly the dash readout is very accurate. When at 45, my gps said 45. And when I checked again at 72 mph, gps said 72. I have yet to see the dash display a variance.

True for US models. Mine speedo reads within 1 mph of GPS up to 70 MPH, anyway. NC700Xs sold outside the US (not sure about Canada) are reading 5-10% optimistic, based on feedback here on the forum.

I'm anal about speedo's being accurate and the NC is on the money with my GPS. The bike speedo just reads the mph faster than gps, if you have electronic cruise its easy to check but its hard to hold an indicated speed for the 3-4 seconds it takes the gps to catch up. Oddly enough I have found Harley Davidson to have the most consistantly accurate speedos, and BMW's are usually only about 2% off. I presently own a 2010 Triumph Bonneville which is 10% optimistc.

This is the first Japanese bike that I own that has a accurate speedometer... Most others are 5-10% off.

My first couple of tanks I didn't see what kind of MPG I got... I was more concentrating on breaking in properly... Motoman's way minus 10-20%...

I did last weekend and it came out to 189 miles and fill up to the rim at 2.682 gallons = 70.469MPG... Nice!!!....

Just checked my second tank and got 70.06mpg, and I only have a little over 500 miles.

 

[radiotinnitus]

Hmm. My 3rd tank on my DCT was 58mpg. All city driving and not really trying to be efficient.

 

[gkgeiger]

I couldn't check my first tank since the dealer didn't fill it. Second tank was 66, third 70, and fourth 73mpg. By the way it's a DCT.

My speedo is dead nuts with my GPS also.
