Just a quick question Adventure owners. What is the typical fuel economy you are getting on long trips with no off-roading and staying within speed limits. If possible , please tell me about the new 2009 model.
Also, if specifying MPG, please quote is its UK gallon or US gallon. Thanks! |

Pretty boring scenery... but on that day everything felt right... the bike... the river.. me...
 Regarding fuel economy: From somewhat tolerable to really bad... It all depends on how you use that fun-o-meter on the right side of the handlebars...

40-45mpg (US gallons) is considered normal (?), with high of upto 50mpg and lows of even 25mpgs not being unheard of. To give you a better idea, i get around 12-15kmpl on my '07 990S (fuel injected - supposed to give more mileage) if i ride at constant 120kmph, but once your right wrist gets snappy and the speeds go upto 160kmph, the mileage drops quite a bit, say 10kmpl. (and this happens quite often with these bikes )on an average, you can expect a range of 260-280kms on a tank full. However, the '09 Adv's are reportedly more powerfull (also revving higher?) so that might bring down the mileage a bit. There are quite a few threads on the OC about this, so a search will provide you more info than you can imagine

Man I sure would like to go that route. Tubeless would be nice. It looks nice.

Thanks for the tip
I was wearing goggles but it was raining . So I took it off . We went to go and swim by the Lake , and I must have misplaced it somewhere down there . So i guess I will have to get some new ones .
