Anyone care to disclose fuel consumption figures ???

Not giving away any close-to-the-chest "factory" secrets

But, I was curious at the mpg that the DD bikes return - compared to a std 600ss etc.

Anyone?

Cheers - Frank

I can't say about a DD bike, but I get around 15-18mpg out of my 800ss at race pace. The road bike does 40-60mpg depending on my mood at the time. I suspect the DD guys see not too dissimilar patterns of consumption.

And I don't work too well with old school numbers...........

For the 1000ss race bike, we had calculated around 11 kms per litre last weekend at Mallory Park, which equates to 5 laps per litre.

With my air/fuel ratio measured on Sunday at around 10.4 to 1 across the rev range my consumption is not as good as it could be

Only ever measured the mpg of #34 one time, at brands hatch back in 2006.
Was getting a 'credit crunch busting' 30mpg.
But Brands isn't a fuel hungry track, unlike Donny and Snet for example.

Not really relevant but we used to get about 15mpg out of the TZ when WJB was racing it-mind you the fuel worked out at about £9.00/gallon...........
