Hi. Im new to all this. Have had my 2005 Vulcan 800 since November 2005. Was a big step up from a Virago 250 :) And Im short so its a big ask to have a big bike. But anyway...gas mileage. You might have to work it out. 9litres will last me around 170kms. so 5.2l per 100kms. Thats usually how we work down here in oz. My car uses only 8.5l per 100kms. So the bike isnt THAT economical. *Jan*
