Welcome!! By kmpl I assume you mean kilometers per liter?? Cuz my bike usually averages right around 40 miles/gal, and if my conversion calculations are correct, that would equate to 14.70 km/l. It does vary quite a bit depending on how hard you ride it... if you take it easy and go slow you'd be suprised how far you can go, but hold it wide open for awile and it'll go through a tank pretty quick

It really all depends on how you ride and how they are geared. I average about 42mpg or so. good luck with your purchase

I also get around 40 mpg with conservative riding and staying in the 3-4000 rpm range.

I have been riding pretty hard doing some wheelies and alot of upper rpms and last time I filled it up I got 42 mpg. I think thats awesome considering how I was riding. I still have stock gearing, but you should get a little better if you do alot of commuting and such, we tend to ride alot of twisty backroads around here so it kind of surprised me when I filled it up. Good luck on your purchase

stop and gos are the worst for mileage mang...long stretches of straights are good, or nice smooth twists, back and forth back and forth...yea baby...
