Probably not too many Hyper-milers buying the N400 I'd imagine, they seem to go for stuff like the CBR250 etc.

But I thought since this is a new model it might be of interest to hear what sort of figures owners are getting if they are taking note of it.

On my recent 1200 mile Easter ride I averaged 28.5 km/l or 67 MPG US.

* Important to note that there are US gallons and imperial gallons as used in the UK.

 

[derp???]

That sprocket change must've done wonders for you kiwi. I have 2700 km on my baby and my average is 21.8 km/L from new

 

[Ninja P]

28km/l.

Sounds like you can get ~400km on one tank, normal riding style? That's **** good especially before being fully broken in!

 

[Kiwi Rider]

28km/l.

Yep, I'm only doing 5500RPM now at 100kph so must be the extra .5 km/l :wink:

Mine is early break in stage and I'm getting 24-23 kmpl as indicated on the gauge.

To convert from KM/Liter to Miles/Gallon (US),

km/Liter x 2.352 = MPG (US)
For example:
22 km/L x 2.352 = 52 MPG (US)
28 km/L x 2.352 = 66 MPG (US)

 

[mikecronis]

Breaking mine in "by the book" still. Getting 86 mpg right now. (36 km/L) but I'm under 4.5k RPMs.

 

[Reezu_Shana]

Wow, y'all getting quite higher than mine, which is onli 23.6kmpl.. So far on 1600++km.

Same as me :/

You guys are probably doing a lot of city riding tho?
I can only get 28km/l if I go on a long tour and keep my right wrist on a restraining order Lol.

 

[Reezu_Shana]

Yeah, mostly commuting. But then again, my commuting involves 80% highway and 20% smaller roads tho.

 

[emudshit]

Im at about 23.7kmpl and I do most days 70% commuting small streets 30% highway

I guess that's the average mileage we'd get. Unless somewhere somehow we messed up. :/

 

[emudshit]

I ride mostly around 60kmph areas so thats 3rd and 4th gear, depending on how I feel, usally for 60kph Ill ride in 4th until she gets a little warmer then Ill be more in 3rd

 

[Reezu_Shana]

Oh. Well.. I rode at average of 100kmph on highways, and sometimes let loose until 110-120kmph when I feel like it, but not too frequently. Seems there's not much diff riding in cities nor highways.

I just drove 270 miles (434km) to get my 600 mile service.....because I live in the sticks. 98% highway and got 81mpg (34km/l) . my indicated average is 53.4 mpg though. My daily commute is short

That's impressive, what speed were you cruising at mostly? I could get that on my CBR300 but not this bike.

 

[mikecronis]

By-the-book break-in really helps with better-than-advertised MPG in the long-run I've found. Many bikes have a sweet-spot RPM as well. I'm going to say this bike is probably around 6k. You'll hear a harmonic in the engine hum that will slow down to a constant sine-wave tone "Mrrrarrrrrrlllllllllllllrrrrrraaaaaarrrrrrrlllllllrrrrrrraaaaarrrrrllll". Hard to describe but it starts fast, then when it slows down to the longest sine-wave tone, going any faster speeds-up the tone and you're out of "the zone". All bikes have this. Experienced bike owners will know. Over the decades, all my bikes had a sweet-spot. Ninja-250 was around 6500 RPM. Honda Superhawk 996 was around 5900 RPM.

 

[ryanemm]

Most of the time I was between 60-70mph, about half the drive was flat wheat fields, the other half was pretty twisty. I was driving pretty mellow. but the results surprised me....I'm going to be taking a 600 mile drive through bc in a month or two, I will keep my results posted.
