What kind of MPG do the Bonneville's get? I work 46 miles away from home so 92 miles a day. I drive a diesel gas sucking truck. Surely it will be cheaper but just curious....
More details of the bike please - model/year/engine. My 2010 T100 efi would give me an average of +50 mpg.
Don't have anything specific. I am just starting to check them out and am doing some research. I am just looking for a ballpark average
Take a look at this page. http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/triumph/bonneville Bikes aren't any different than cars on mileage. If you race off the line and ride hard, your mileage is going to suffer. Honestly, I would have thought they would be a little higher. I have a 1700 cc Thunderbird with a sidecar and I'm getting in the low 40s. Here are the Thunderbird stats. http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/triumph/thunderbird
I get around 100-130 miles before the fuel light comes on on my thruxton, at first I was pissed off as it meant I had to stop riding to fill up but then it does give my arse a rest!
Get an Bonneville America nearly 200 miles to a tankful., was 45+ mpg ish iirc Don't buy an Aprilia Tuono, lucky if I get 100 before the light.
I just did the maths on my fuel mileage , on my 2009 Bonneville America I have averaged on std motor/std tune 45/48 miles per imperial gallon ! On my non std motor fully tuned to suit 905 cc big bore with high compression pistons and ported cylinder head I get between 55 to 60 miles per imperial gallon , do your own maths , highest mileage achieved in klms litre 23 klms lowest averaged (towing a 100kg trailer) 17.5 klms litre , but solo/two up usually 19 to 20 klms litre, this is over 8yrs of ownership and 107,000 klms Cheers capt
Speed Triple 2016 R and 2010 se Both bikes have pretty much the same stats 60 miles a day commute,50/50 motorway and city traffic Average overall 50mpg, £12 a tank for 120 miles (20 miles remain in the tank by the time I fill up with the warning light on) On the motorway: 80mph i can get 50 mpg at best 70mph I get 60 60mph I can get 80s In London stop start about 15mpg Premium fuel makes it 10% better for me, almost making the additional cost worthwhile I have been doing this commute for 5 years so know the averages and costs very well Spirited riding greatly reduces mpg to 35/40mpg Driving like Miss Daisy can get me in the 80s
I have a new Street Twin and have been getting 65-70 MPG. But I also don't ride too aggressive. Also engine is new so should improve a few MPG as the engine fully breaks in.
