Default My 998 averaging 44 MPG vs my wife's 600 I-4 @ 39 MPG..What gives?
I have been riding both bikes a lot lately, 95% to and from work.
I ride my 998 on weekends also and usually get on it pretty hard, on the other hand I ride my wife's 600RR to and from work, I ride it like an old man (no offense "older" people) and am still averaging much worse fuel mileage.
The 998 has 9000 miles and the 600 is at 5800 miles.
Any ideas why? Is it the way the Twin makes/delivers power?
