I get 180-185 and I havent switched to reserve yet, but I fill up after that point. I have gone up to 203 miles before filling up on the highway. Other then that, my bikes a 93' 900RR with 38,000 miles and Jet Kit III.

 

Actually, funny story; when I first bought the bike the fuel selector was broken off, I thought I had the positions figured out, and I was riding home alone with 170 miles on the odo. The bike started to sputter so I switched the lever, and then it just died. Took 2 liters of water to push 3/4 of a mile.

 

Funny and stupid I guess. I had encountered that too but I didn't push; wait for help to arrive!

 

if i run my easy i get about 110 out of a tank. but when i run the hell out of it, which i normally do, i get even less.

 

My reserve valve is broken, so it is always on the reserve. got 199 miles before running out. I now fill up at 150-160 miles, getting 38-42mpg. Mostly cruising 70-90mph, and a few WOT.

 

i go around 130 to 150 per tank but when i am out RIDING i get around 90 lol

Flat sided carbs suck fuel. They are for racing not fuel economy.

I go 180 miles before going on reserve and I have gone 22 miles on reserve before I chickened out and filled it up. 94 with stage 1 kit, BMI filter and full Yosh system.

I think 40+ MPG is pretty awsome for a race bike. My buddy at work has a Honda scooter. It gets 60+, but we get home at the same time after work, and I live 22 miles further away than he does...

 

Hey People
I picked up my 93 900RR for $1200. It has a Yosh pipe and a K&N on itwith a Stage 1 Jet Kit.

I make the point of filling up at 100-120 miles. I've gone as far as 130 miles before switching to reserve. But with the gas prices today the 100 mile mark only takes aroung $5 in Texas, so 40 MPG is my guess... unless Im on the throttle.

Most of the milage depends on your riding style, if you think cruising is sitting at 6k in 2nd gear so you can hear your exhaust you will get ****ty milage. I shift my bike like I would my Mustang, Sort of low in the RPM BandI dont rev hard unless I wanna leave the idiot next to me reving his engine.

So Ive seen about 40 MPG on mine.

I took a ride today 180 miles total. At 125 I stopped for gas it took 2.6 gallons. I have read the 99 cbr900rr holds 4.8 gallons. If that holds true I put around 125 on a lil over two gallons of gas. Average speed on the ohio turnpike was 75 6 th gear 5,000 rpms. Now my bike has stock jets. A D& D slip on and a k& n filters. Does this seem right ? Numbers don't lie I guess. By the way 93 octane is 4.00 a gallon

 

I have a 94 and its about every 160mmiles before i fill it back up
