I reckon it's £10 every 100 miles to run yer Rocket with the set up you got.That's until you get used to it then it'll cost you more .

Costs about that for your rear tyre too. The last Metz I used cost me more than 8.8c per km or $8.80 per 100km. Avon about 6.5c/km and Bridgestone looking likely to be about 50c/km. These are not cheap bikes to run..... but still outstanding value.

In Wisconsin USA today 93 octane was $3.98.9 per us gallon. Fuel speculation for the summer months here is going to be $5 per us gallon. I do agree that is not as much as it is in the UK. I hope your peers told you not only is this site a wealth of info, but full of sassy ribbing! Welcome to the site!

Best mileage figures I can give is based on not cruising the highway over 110kph, as blind Freddy knows when you open a rocket up you can't be concerned about fuel economy.

Best 17.8kml that's about 5.6 litres per 100km (428km per tank) - Average 14.5kml that's about 7litres per 100km (342km per tank)- Worst 183kms to 24litres, gotta say loved the ride, full throttle and don't back off until your empty
