Fuel Saving Motorcycles

I thought it would be nice to shed a light on fuel economical motorcycles. I am not thinking about 50 cc scooters or other weak walking aids. I mean real motorcycles, which make fun to ride.

Motorcycles below 5 l / 100 km or better than 47 mpg (US gallon):

- V-Strom DL650 K7
- BMW F 800
- BMW X-Serie
- BMW F650GS/Dakar/CS
- BMW R 850 R
- Honda Silver Wing
- Honda Shadow 750
- Honda VT 600
- Kawasaki EX500
- Yamaha XV535

To be continued.

MOTORRAD 1/2008 published the Top 10 most fuel efficient motorcycles. The test captures effective fuel consumption for a fixed course on country roads. Meant are motorcycles, not walking aids, such as 50 cc scooters, etc..

1. BMW G 650 Xchallenge: 3.4 l / 100 km, tank range 279 km
2. BMW F 650 GS: 3.6 l / 100 km, tank range 481 km
3. Kawasaki Versys: 3.9 l / 100 km, tank range 487 km
4. BMW F 800 S: 3.9 l / 100 km, tank range 410 km
5. Husquarna SM 610 IE: 3.9 l / 100 km, tank range 321 km
6. Suzuki V-Strom DL650: 4.0 l / 100 km, tank range 550 km
7. Suzuki SV 650 S: 4.1 l / 100 km, tank range 415 km
8. Buell Lightning XB12STT: 4.1 l / 100 km, tank range 407 km
9. Yamaha XT 660 R: 4.1 l / 100 km, tank range 366 km
10. KTM 690 Supermoto: 4.1 l / 100 km, tank range 329 km

Tank range decides the rank, if the fuel consumption is identical

Interesting. Do you know if they're refering to the single cylinder F650GS, or the newer twin?

I wonder how a concept hybrid-drive motorcycle like Yamaha's Gen-RYU would fare in this list? Or maybe the Tesseract?
