Hello from Greece
 

Hi to all

I am a fanatic biker and i want to make a question about changing my bike(again)

I had several bikes in the past, the last 3 were:

-Kawasaki Z750s '05
-kawasaki Z1000 '07
-Kawasaki Versys '09

I am totally happy especialy with versys(i like to ride sporty), but i want to return to a faster bike

I am thinking to sell my versys about 4500€ and to buy a used vtr1000f >2001 for about 2500€
With the remain money i can buy new tyres, make a big service etc etc

Vtr1000f was always one of the bikes that i liked more, but never had the change to own one

The question is about the mileage
Benzin costs a lot round here, about 1.75€/l
Having a bike that consumes a lot, is a bit risky

Ok, i am not aspecting to have the mileage of versys, but is about the same with a 'today' 1000 bike?

:congrats:

Well first the vtr1000F is not the superhawk, that is the rc51. The superhawk is vtr1000, but if you find the 1000f for that cheap buy it!

As for mileage, I average between 35 and 40 miles per gallon. I get about 130 miles per tank of fuel, or 3.3 gallons.

Fuel
 

Ok, here's the dealio. You know speed costs and keeping the throttles pinned on a liter bike is expensive and you can expect to use 25 mpg. I'd ditch the Versys for a red Superhawk anyday. Just the sound alone would justify it but you may tire of all the girls trying to hop on behind you. I get so annoyed with them-----------maybe I should get a Versys ? :eek:

Honda_VTR1000F is in fact a superhawk or firestorm. Jeez...


RC51

RC is the RVT1000R
or VTR1000SP1 or SP2

Mileage is about mid 30's average. Great bike but if you're looking for a lot of MPG, maybe not the best choice. Very similar to today's 1000's though. It's very dependant on how far you twist the wrist!

That's funny, my Superhawk is a VTR1000F. Hhhmmmmmm

yes I don't care much for mileage,as I want I bike to give me pleasure when riding

as for the fact of naming,yes, vtr1000f is actually a superhawk/firestorm

the only thigh I am afraid about used bikes, especialy carb bikes,is the possibility of bad jetting(if modified) by the ex owner

That's what your wife/girlfriend is for! :eek:

You haven't met my wife,thats why I bought the bike:rotf:

Isn't the RC51 the RVT1000?
