Did't know where to post this so i figured the best place would be where the owners of this bike talk about their beauties.

Im planning to do trip next summer but i can't really decide on motorcycle. Im really attracted to the Africa twin because it proven itself and the looks but one thing i cant figure out is the fuel economy. One says 1:15 (1 liter for 15km) others say 1:20. If i would go for the AT it would prob be a '93-95 model. Anyone can give me a indication what the fuel consumption would be with regular highway cruising at 70-80mph and 40-50mph on B roads and gravel.

RD07 1998 with 130,000 Km on it.
My best fuel/Km ratio is 1:21-on highway on 100 KPH.
My worse is 1:15 on twisty roads on high revs.
Avrage is 1:17 on highway at 120-130 KPH.
Offroad i get about the same.(1:17)

Andy G · 11-12-2009, 11:13 AM

on my 98 I have an overall average of 5,04l / 100km, on my 93 5,68l / 100km.

Cheers, Andy

Over the last 6,000 miles on my RD04 I've averaged just shy of 50mpg. (49.95mpg if you want to be exact!)

ATGreg, congratulations! Looks like you even made a service port on the headers. So you have equipment to measure lamba? Awesome job, only those pictures are way too big for me. Can you post more smaller ones?
