Its also gearing as mentioned before. A mate went to Le Mans a few years ago with his Megablade, and the combination of a 3.2 (Freelander) diff and
185-70-13" tyres raised the theoretical gearing to around 150mph, and he got nearly 50mpg from it!
I dont monitor it on the road but so far Ive found the injected R1 to use a bit more than the blade did on track, I usually get a days trackdaying
(about 100-150 miles) on a tankful plus a jerry can so about 40-45L (10gal) of fuel, Ive not worked it out before but that equates to about 10mpg at
worse, or 15mpg at best.

So glad I have a 54ltr baffled foam filled tank on mine, My bike only did 30 at best.. Bikes being economical is a myth.. the power has to come from
somewhere, and its fuel...
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!

Yep the busa's certainly drink more on track than the R1 / blade, my mate regularly gets through a tank plus two jerry cans on the same
trackdays as me with his Megabusa

25mpg isn't bad at all...
My project will have 2 busa motors... I'll be happy to get 8mpg when pushing it wth both spiritedly ^_^
But I have an Insight to offset that (65mpg+) hehe
