Tank Range for 640

Can someone give me some sample mpg's or l/km for a full tank of fuel in various riding conditions?

ie hard/fast road
urban
easy/slow road
off road
sand riding....

I hear these guys are a little heavy on the juice!

Dave,
I have a '97 640 Rally. It consitently has managed 48MPG (US). Pavement, dirt, rocks etc. It is like it was fed thru injection rather than the carb it has.
Allen.

Wow,

I thought that KTM's were supposed to be heavy on fuel, that as good as my old XT....

Any idea why the image is so bad?

Dave

ps. Allen, I was passing through Flagstaff a few years ago and I went to a microbrewery in the town centre that had a huge brewing cylinder next to the bar and a corrugated tin roof over the place the band were playing. I have been trying to remeber the name of the place for the last 2 years.....

Help!! ;-) ?
