I'm wondering why is it so poor consuption on a 450cc? I get the same consumption out of my 14 years old R1100GS (1100cc), doing 90-100kph it gives me around the same economy - 4.6L/100km. If I cruise 70-80kph like those small bikes usually do I can get almost 800 kilometers out of a 32 liter tank (4L/100km).
Is there a 250-450cc EFI dual sport bike that gives better than 2-3L/100km going around 70-80kph like they're supposed to? I'm possibly looking one for my wife.
