It averaged about 3 L/100km or 78 MPG, impressive considering I was WOT on the freeway half the time and hypermiling was not on my mind. It did get more fuel efficient as winter turned to spring.
Want.

That fuel economy is still better than CBR 250R averages, and especially my CBR 250R's average. How many miles does it have on it? That 0-100 km/h time is pretty slow, a lot slower than what I have seen from videos. Did you change the gearing at all? I looked at your fuelly and see that you are a big guy, that would probably explain the discrepancy in 0-100 times. I'm only 148 lbs, so would likely get much closer to the low 10 second times.

But it is a nice looking bike!
You can find them for a lot cheaper than that, and with even less miles too.
