According to Kawasaki it's 45mpg but I'll let you know how it turns out.
It the same motor as mine, only difference is a very slight gear ratio change... VERY SLIGHT. The 4 extra lts of fuel will make it last a bit longer on ride outs, I reckon you'll get close to what I get when i'm trying to make my fuel last... haha... Oh you got the wind protection too.

The best I've had is 39.7mpg.. :)

Worst is 14.7.. :twisted: good day that, haha

Avg is 30-35mpg....

Just done the first tank full, 157 miles on 16lt that's 44.6mpg so pretty much bang on what the book says, however seeing as I'm still getting used to the bike it was a pretty calm 157 miles :)
