Re: Z650 Fuel Economy MPG

20 is caning it mpg. 35 to 40 should be achievable on normal riding depending on engine air and exhaust set up. Motorways are not good on 650's with standard gearing which is fairly low. ............................ :!: ............^^^^^ :gom ^^^^^ this, the gearing is painfull on motorways :down
