Not sure. Most people get closer to single figures. You may not be trying hard enough

Ear plugs and a fuel card required!

Our ZX12R returns a consistent 18mpg and as much as 24mpg on a long run.

On track days, it drinks fuel like it's going out of fashion and it would be pointless working out the mpg.

Have you had your PC mapped on a rolling road?

not had it mapped yet as im building an XE powered 7 so all the spare money is being thrown at that
i can live with it overfueling for a while at least its better than running lean!!

as always thank you boys and girls of locostland
