I've got a DRZ400 and I'm getting 25km/L doing 25% highway 75% city.

What. 18.5km/L here, mostly highway. Bone stock
 
I ran out of gas at 184km from a full 17L tank yesterday.. my bike is the hummer of motorcycles when it comes to gas mileage..
 
SV1000S, few mods, spears heads and pistons, pcIII, yosh 3/4, commute mostly rural 80 to 100km/h+, 40km each way, don't kill it but don't ride easy. 4.89 to 5L/100km. Better then the Jetta, and way better then the Dakota.
 
Buell 1125r.
Fun riding = 12 litres/100km (19.6 mpg)
Regular mixed/city = 7.4 litres/100 (31.8 mpg)
Straight highway, economical riding = 6.2 litres/100 km (37.9 mpg)
 
VN900c ~850lbs fueled up with me on it
I get between 4.5L - 5L per 100km so 47-52mpg. I beat on it like a red headed step child.
 
The Duc and Trophy seem to be running around 5.8 - 6.3 l/200 km. I've seen abut 4.8 on the Trophy on a steady highway run, no city, no braking. Baby bike seems to run around 95 mpg or 3 l/100 km, good enough I figure I should be riding it more, but she's not a happy camper on the highway to work.

My champion gas sucking device is a Yahaha Waverunner with a 1.2L 155 HP 2 stroke good for a tank (60L) in 75 minutes at full throttle. That's 0.8 l/min.
 
 
2000 Yamaha BWS-R - 50cc 4.6L/100kms + oil, mainly full throttle suburban area operation.
2004 Yamaha Virago 250cc - 3.4L/100kms, mainly rush hour commute (DVP)
2009 BMW F650GS Twin 800cc - 4.4L/100kms, mainly rush hour commute

Its funny how the scooter gets the worst fuel economy. When I switched to the Virago, I was double checking the calculations thinking I made a mistake, but it was correct...
The BMW is the clear winner here given its displacement and output.

Some of you guys are getting horrendeous fuel economy...approaching cager territory.
 
'09 Suzuki GSX650F. 19L Tank = 340 km before I really start to worry about running out of fuel. I recently switched to a K&N air filter ant that number seems to have dropped slightly, it's disappointing, & I can't figure out why.

What is there to figure out? You get more air getting through the K&N filter than with the stock one. More air = more fuel to get the mixture right. You get like one or two extra hp and a slightly lower mileage.
 
1987 Honda Shadow 1100. Bone stock, 13L per 198km. Plus I have reserve. Not terrible for a big bike.
 
2008 CBR 1000RR, air intake flapper removed, exhaust flapper removed, rest is stock, average = 15.5 km / L = 6.45 L/100km of (normal + spirited driving), best observed economy is 22 km/L = 4.5 L/100km holding constant throttle @ 87 kph (yeah, like I am going to do that for any extended period of time).
