Since you`re here on this forum, I would venture to guess that you hypermile to some extent. Maybe the "others" are a lot harder on the throttle than you are? Does "the same kind of bikes" mean F650 series, or more generally? From what I`ve read, those BMW singles (especially the injected models) achieve pretty impressive efficiency for their power- sure wouldn`t mind having one.

Bikepilot: "In general small/light bikes are better in the city while big bikes tend to be better on the highway."
From what people are saying here and on the similar thread I posted on a scooter forum, that`s starting to look like how it works, at least in a very general way. So many variables do make it hard to determine though.

EDIT:
Wow, Alvaro- you`re getting REALLY impresive mileage out of that bike! The CSs are belt driven, aren`t they? Fuel injected?
