    On an 82 750 Seca. I know every bike is different - but what can I expect as a guesstimate? - Thanks , Rick

    My '82 XJ650 holds 3.4 gal (12.8 L) and I can travel 145 mi. (233 Km), as a combo of City & Hwy, so that's about 43 Mpg (18 Km/L).

    I have achieved as high as 51 Mpg on a long hwy trip!

    I get about 300km to reseve on my 82 seca 750

    P.S. To the above post: It should be L/100Km for our metric conversion from mpg :)


    5.33 L/100km = 44.1303158 miles per gallon

    If you use 16L to reserve (roughly 0.5 gallons left in tank)

    Some of these Ford ads are really pissing me off. "With a fuel sipping 10L/100km" blah blah... that's 23mpg!!! CRAP!
