MPG

[mr8ball]

As most of you know by now the new busa has not been one for good MPG. Well on my last tank i took it easy and tryed to get it as good as i could. I got a whopping 52.38 MPG on this tank. I know it sounds crazy but here are the figures.

201.8 miles and 3.852 Gal With gas at 3.70 a Gal here i am glad to see this!

All i have done is put the two brothers slip on's with the double bubble wind screan. What is the best you guys have done? Good luck

 

[lazy boy]

49.9 during break in. might do better if I tried. average mid 40s

You guys buy a Busa then want gas mileage

Enjoy the power, burn the gas!!

Doug,

Your bike is really looking good.. and great gas mileage too, what more can you ask for.

I got 45.45 on first tank and 42,37 on second tank..

i got a little over 200 miles on 4 gal while in break-in period... agree with the fact that if you want good gas mileage buy a 250

This is true. I just like the fact and think it is funny that we have all this power and can get the kind of MPG

. It dosent really matter to me i am still going to ride but its just nice to know if i ever need to slow down some.I use to have a prostreet nova with a 572 blown engin in it and it got 4 MPG but it had almost 2000 HP and i drove it on the street. I have to admitt MY BUSA is a lot more fun. Everyone be safe

 

[FastBusa]

49.1 just the other day driving 5 mph! Very hard to do I must say.

 

[TruWrecks]

Nice Nova. I have a friend building a 69 Mustang Street Rod with 1100 HP at the crank. I'll have to get a few pics to post up of his ride.

And, yes these bike are very slippery in the wind. If you behave you will see great mileage. If you flog it it will still do 30+.

 

[BusaWhipped]

My '05 will do 47 MPG on the highway with the CC set. I've seen as low as 17 MPG when running hard.

 

[euroR]

will MODE C get better MPG on the highway then MODE A>

 

[scotty - 12]

No on the mode C.

My avg mpg has been 42/43. I avg 80-85 on hwy and have 6-8 miles of bumper to bumper traffic every day as well.... I think that's pretty good.

 

[BIKE DUDE]

Got about 650 miles on her now and I haven't checked it yet. Why bother, I know it won't be good cause I'm constantly romping on it. Oh well!

I rode around for 6 hours on Sunday and topped off the tank 3 times. I was averaging 46mpg all day. Mix of highway and quick blasts.  So althoug I'm getting great milage, I find myself wasting money on gas because I can't stop riding this thing. AND GOING NOWHERE.

 

[lazy boy]

Didn't buy the big girl for fuel savings but it is nice to get the cake and eat it too! I try to save most of the hard riding for track and strip days. My job requires a pretty clean driving record no license no job. I'll leave the street stunts to others.

 

[Bobby-T]

I've got a little more than 1700 mi. on my Hayabusa and I'm averaging around 35 mpg.

 

[Italian Trev]

If I'd a scooter then I'd maybe be interested

 

[warp10]

I've got about 1600 mi. and I am getting about 50mpg. It drops to about 44mpg if I play around the century mark. I can drive my truck for a week or ride my Busa for a month on the same gas, but a lot more fun!!!!!

 

[VinViper]

I was out on mine this past Sunday and noticed I was averaging a little over a 100spg (smiles per gallon).

 

[warp10]

+100 on the smiles per gallon

 

[EarlyBird]

Got 50 mpg on my highway ride home! Average 39-41 city highway! And get 30-32 in town! Love the big girl!!!
