As you can see, learning tricks to reduce your fuel efficiency can increase your getting-there efficiency. There are also obvious environmental benefits. Quick braking and hasty acceleration will lower overall fuel efficiency. Obey the speed limit and keep your speed constant. Flat stretches of road are much better for fuel efficiency than curvy, hilly, in-city driving. You're also more likely to avoid traffic jams on highways, which are also bad for fuel efficiency.
A full-face helmet is more aerodynamic than other types of helmets. Any other clothing that decreases your aerodynamic should be reconsidered.
According to the Car Talk website : Wind resistance increases as a square of the speed at which you're traveling. So, for example, at 70 mph, wind resistance is double what it is at 50 mph 70 squared is almost twice as much as 50 squared. That's murder on your mileage.
Keep that in mind while biking. Have you ever considered buying an electric motorcycle? If you haven't, it might be something to consider. Absent an official, government-mandated fuel-economy test for motorcycles, the FTP, it seems, is becoming the de facto procedure.
Automobile manufacturers are also legally required to use the FTP, plus four other tests. The city and highway estimates are based on a combination of data from all five tests. There are so many variables, in fact, that specific MPG figures almost seem silly. If escalating fuel prices create any good in the world, perhaps reliable and widespread MPG figures will be among the positive effects.
In the meantime, reviews here will begin to include our real-world MPG findings. She helped her husband start a far-right militia group. California college students live in vans and hotels as campus housing plans spark backlash. UCLA Sports. All Sections. How far can a motorcycle travel on a tank of gas? Typically, the average motorcycle will get anywhere between to miles on a tank of gas depending on tank size, engine size, and riding conditions.
For instance, A Harley Davidson sportster forty eight has a 2. When I ride with my sportster owning friends, we have to stop for gas avery miles or so. I often skip a gas stop since my bike can travel twice as far on a tank. Some motorcycles, which are designed to go longer distances out in the middle of nowhere, will come with larger tanks. For example, the KTM Adventure has a 23 liter tank, or 6 gallons. Most motorcycles come with a reserve tank and a switch that needs to be turned on to allow the reserve fuel to be use.
Generally, it is only about 10 to 20 miles. Just like cars and trucks, bigger engines will use more gas. However, manufacturers know this and usually build their bikes with the proper fuel tank capacity to accommodate the larger engine. Bu, it has a 6. So, a big bike like this can travel and average of miles between fill ups. Probably more like to be safe.
The Kawasaki Ninja , with only a 4. The age of your motorcycle will also determine how far it can go on a tank of gas. Modern day motorcycle fuel consumption has greatly improved with all the advancements in technology. Older motorcycles, with gravity fuel supply systems and no fuel injection, will often get fewer miles per gallon, therefore, fewer miles on one tank.
Your riding style can effect your fuel efficiency. For example, I used to own a Suzuki SV, which got about 45 miles to the gallon.
On average, I could get about miles of riding in before I needed to fuel up. I took this motorcycle out on a couple of track days, and it was a different story. The aggressive, high speed, high rev riding that I did on the track lowered my miles per gallon down to about There are other factors that can effect your fuel efficiency.
One being how much weight you are carrying. Are you pulling a trailer with your Goldwing? Riding in cold weather can also reduce your fuel efficiency. Although most motorcyclist choose to avoid riding in winter, still, some hard-core riders will tough it out.
