Tiger 800 Fuel economy

Hi Tone, the fuel consumption between the original Tiger 800 and the ones 2015 and onwards. So it depends a lot on whether you buy new/nearly new or a bit older. Have you decided on a budget?

As Littleade said there are lots of factors involved in giving you worthwhile mpg numbers.

My guess ? Roughly 40-ish mpg for the original and nearer to 50 mpg for the new ones.

 

I have a 2012 800 my speedo shows 46mpg on mixed runs dual carriageway and single. I do around 160 to 170 before fuel light comes on. I have no idea what capacity reserve is

 

Hi Tone - I have a new Tiger XRx and have nearly put 6000 miles on it so far, including a recent trip to Brittany and Normandy.
I ride solo with the Triumph Expedition panniers fitted most of the time. Typical journeys in the UK are motorway, fast A roads and B roads plus a bit of town centre riding (I don't commute but I do use the bike for work journeys).

The most I ever seem to get in the tank is 15 litres (suggesting that there are 4 litres or thereabouts in reserve) - in fact I filled up this morning and managed to fit in 14.87 litres. I always reset trip 2 to zero and this gave me a reading of 187 miles since the last fill up. In old money that's about 58 miles per gallon, which i would say is average for me - but you can get better economy I'm sure if your riding style is more relaxed!

 

What about this:

You'll buy that for £6000; it has full std. spec including variable height comfort seat;

I've ridden one of these and they are a really cracking bike.

 

Looking forward to seeing your new toy

 

Hi Tone, that bike I showed you - he has just dropped his asking price by £200.

Buying this bike at £6000 say, would be a bargain and a half !

 

And it's a blue one!

 

The only blue I need to see atm is a blue sky

 

Look, you would have been disappointed if one of us hadn't said it!

 

Tone, I've had my 2013 Tiger 800XC from new, I try not to use motorways and average 52-53mpg.

That's real world day to day riding.

Talking to guys who have aftermarket cans fitted tell me that they lost a couple of mpg since fitting the can.

I'm always sceptical of car or bike manufacturers performance figures

Dave.
