Damn right .....
Im a builder and i put all the fuel for the bike through the books .... my accountant reckons ive got the thirstiest mixer in the south west :thumbup
Its funny why i have to go all the way to Brands Hatch for fuel for the mixer though :lol
Lol that's tooo funny !! I could do the same but I'm a digger driver and it's all diesel....
So we are talking 25 mpg or there abouts ? That means it wont make it between fuel stops on holiday and I'll be pushing it the last 10 to 20 miles and the lesser bikes will have re fueled and gone before I even get there, even carrying enough spare fuel and stopping to put it in they will be catching up and passing. Find this hard to swallow as even the american mags were getting an average of 34 mpg in testing and that included track riding and quarter mile times and vear in mind there gallon is 3.75 ltr to our 4.5.

I'm same as Mikkel above.
I average around 85-90 to the fuel light. Almost got caught out last week when a petrol station was closed for a refurb. I had to ride another 15 miles to the next station and when I got there the trip was showing 15 miles on "reserve" I managed to get 17 litres in the tank, which funnily is exactly what it holds apparently.

If this is a big concern for you, you need a different bike. They are extremely thirsty beasties.
I use my bikes to travel across Europe once a year and the T is capable. On the motorway you could probably push 110 miles between fuel stops. Surely that's enough?

I agree ^^^^
I don't know or care what mpg I get because my bike is purely for fun, but if you are looking at touring a lot you may be buying the wrong bike.
Not looking at touring but do a few euro trips every year, had two millies and two tuono but thought from all the reveiws the new bike was suposed to be better on fuel, problem is what other naked is there with any real character ? 1290 maybe.
The vast majority of my road miles are country roads and the only motorway miles would be if there was no viable alternative.

Can now update after a trip to Le Mans fir motogp. In anticipation of been stranded and out if fuel, the whole trip around 1400 miles in total was planned religiously via fuel stations...... That and a mate had a couple of plastic fuel cans with 2litres of fuel just in case lol. To say it amazed me was an understatement. We stopped regularly fir fuel to be on the safe side but at each stop I was only putting in between one and one and a half litres of fuel in the Tuono more than my brother on a 13 reg repsol 600 and mate on an 11 reg z1000sx. The best I got was 137 miles befire light and managed to get 16.5 litres in at 147 miles. So quite decent on a run but still feel a lot if town use hammers consumption
