Re: Fuel economy...!
Am i reading this correctly your Honda CB125 does 216mpg & not 216 miles per tank ?, if so that sounds like incredibly good fuel consumption .Dave Weller wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 5:36 am My CB125F 2021 version with 3000miles is doing 216mpg, if that's good my friend is reporting 226mpg. I normally lead on our rides around the Kent garden of England, if you don't use the Satnav main roads, enjoy empty roads. He probably can squeeze the extra few MPG's by careful riding.
We don't ride slowly to save fuel, just riding to preserve engine life.
BTW, the fuel tank holds 13.25 litres, not the 11 litres that Honda publish (although I never want to run a submerged fuel pump dry, perhaps that's Honda's thinking)
Cheers.

Re: Fuel economy...!
Correct, A full tank of fuel (14.2 litres if you believe the Asda pump) will last over 500miles easily.
From Chatham Kent I have a bike that will transport me to a different country without stopping to fill up.

Re: Fuel economy...!
My 2013 gts300 with 8000km will use 6 litres of fuel (E10) from 1st click on pump ( any more will make it spurt out filler hole ) till fuel light stays on , Scooter covered 102 miles so works out 77 mpg
Looking at fuelly seems about right for that year

Re: Fuel economy...!
Yesterday, I finished yet another tankful of E10. This was mostly mixed riding of every kind. Even included a short mad dash on the A14 of several miles. So filling brim to brim this time revealed 95.9mpg! Quite stunning and a surprise! One reason for this slightly better reading (previously 90+mpg) is down to the large number of roadworks on my local A12. Speed restrictions of 40mph apply widely for several miles in both directions. I have had to use that section a lot over the last few days. Interesting the effect it is having on fuel consumption.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: Fuel economy...!
That Tmax figure sounds good.
My Forza 300 normally hovers just under 90mpg, although my new commute into London Docklands instead of Victoria means the traffic is less of a pain (and no 20mph limits!!!) so it's up to nearly 100mpg now and again.

Re: Fuel economy...!
That's not the grandest claim ever made....Chatham is only 20-30 miles from Dover, and France is only 20 miles across the Channel, and you don't need any petrol on the Ferry or through the tunnel!Dave Weller wrote: ↑Wed Jul 06, 2022 1:49 pm

Re: Fuel economy...!
The Forza has always been good on fuel, but that's brilliant Stephen.

Re: Fuel economy...!
I've managed low 60s on several Tmaxs occasionally eg on long summer journeys. The mk6 is significantly more economical than earlier versions - I quite often get around 58 - despite being much quicker.
