Mileage? Or miles per gallon?
20000 miles on a '74 Honda CB-350-4
60000 miles on a '78 Honda CB-550-K
12000 miles on a '91 Suzuki GSX-750 (air cooled)
1000 miles on a '97 Harley Fat Boy (1300)
1000 miles on a '99 Harley Sportster 1200
30000 miles on a '00 Honda Magna VF750C
Of all these bikes
I broke in the Harleys for friends who were inexperienced riders.
The best fuel economy was the Fat Boy (50+ mpg on average).
All the Hondas both old & new could get 50 mpg but only when riding slow.
The fastest was the Suzuki. Dyno tuned exhaust & jetting, > 100 RWHP, scary-fast.
The most fun overall was the Honda Magna - V&H exhaust, jetted, dyna ignition, improved brakes & suspension. Fast enough to be fun to ride, but not too fast, comfortable and reliable.

I have a Honda Monkey 125cc bike. The manufacturer states Honda doesn't have a specific fuel economy number attached to the Monkey, but Ride Apart estimates that it should get around 188 mpg or around 200 miles to a full tank. I have 330 miles on the bike now and I need to ride it more often. I love my Honda Monkey. I have owned lots of dual sport bikes, street bikes, 4 wheelers and Honda mini bikes and the Monkey is my all time favorite bike. They are kind of hard to find for sale too.
Sure!
Mpg or Kpl. I should have been more specific. But I think we would all be interested in the total mileage people put on their motorcycle or scooters. Yours is very impressive! Thanks for contributing.

77 Kawasaki KZ650 ~ 9700 miles and around 35mpg. But checking the spark plugs it’s running rich, so I will have to check the jetting and probably go down.
00 Honda Valkyrie Interstate 11500 miles and getting 35-40 mpg.

71,000 and getting 55 to 64 depending how I ride. Shows what tuning can do if you speak carburetors.

2016 Aprilia Tuono Factory 40,000 miles
2008 Kawasaki ZX14 70,000 miles
2011 Kawasaki ZX6R 35,000 miles

2011 Kawasaki ZX6R 35,000 miles
94 Honda RC45 60,084 miles not in moderation either... its a exotic homologated race bike with a 1st gear good for
90mph and goes straight to jail velocity in 6th... it rates higher in SPM than MPG...
When your wallet is thick with appearance notices and you are loosing your voice saying WHOA...

Calculated MPGs - Highest seen.
2000 Suzuki Hayabusa: 47.5 mpg on long highway trip cruising at 75-80 mph.
2016 Yamaha XSR900: 52.5 mpg cruising in mixed city and back roads. Could probably get 60 mpg on a long steady highway trip.

You want to come talk to the carbs on my GL1500?
I do good to get 33mpg, but I do like the go stick a lot.

1981 Suzuki GS650G shaftie, close to 30k. Average 43 mpg. Extremes of 37 and 50 mpg. Always E0 fuel.
Former bikes:
2011 Suzuki V-Strom DL650A, always 50-52 mpg for any sort of riding or load. Occasionally 54 mpg. With 5.8 gal. tank it had some range. Never understood the consistency but enjoyed it.
1972 BMW R75/5. Mikuni 32mm round slides replacing Bing 32mm CV's. Owned it from 51k mi to 94k mi. Typically 40-43 mpg. Slab riding would drop it to the high 30's.
I had a friend that rode an '83 Honda CB650Sc Nighthawk shaftie. I envied his hydraulic valve lash. To say that he short shifted and lugged that thing around would be an understatement! He always did 60 mpg, however.
