JUSTIFYING THE JUICE Now I ’ ve got more than a couple of tanks of fuel run through the bike I ’ m getting a feel for the bike ’ s fuel economy for different types of riding . The average economy during all my riding ( both gravel , solo and two-up ) has been coming in at 5.5 litres / 100km . With the 20 litre tank topped up that should equate to about 360km to empty . The best I ’ ve had was a solo 275km on 14.39 litres of fuel - 5.22 litres / 100km . Triumph lists the bike as 5.1 litres / 100km , so what I ’ m getting isn ’ t far off that . With a pillion it ’ s more thirsty at 5.8 litres / 100km . Next instalment I ’ ll be looking at what the bike is like on the gravel and maybe take it a bit futher away from the seal onto a decent 4WD track .
