There's a app / website called fuelly that is great for tracking this info.
You can look up other people / vehicles etc..

I use to do it religiously, but stopped a while ago, just couldn't be bothered in the end.

Also not just in MPG, will also show KM per Litre or what I prefer Litres per 100km

Fuelly is a good place to start. There are only 3 reports there with one being 46.6 and the other two being ~38.5MPG.

For a stock modern Speed Triple, is ~38MPG the normal "commuting" or lazy Sunday ride MPG? Or is the 46.6MPG report reasonable for a lazy Sunday ride?

If I'm hot-rodding around, anything over 30MPG is good for me but, I'm thinking more along the lines of range when traveling on the Interstate to some place for a scenic ride or great hike. Are the 38MPG figures good for reasonable heavy-handed riding?

 

Hi,

In terms of liters per km the best i got was 230\240kms with one tank. If the fun mode is activated then less then 200 is anchieved. If we analise the liters per 100kms, the best i got was 5,5L\100km and the worst was 7L\100km . . .no track days yet

 

46.6 mpg? That must be UK gallons in 6th gear at 45 mph for an entire tank ...

 

Yes, but it indicated multiple tankfuls so I wondered if it was being babied and as you suggested, maybe UK gallons or possibly a misidentified Street Triple.

 

I don't think I ever got 46 on my 765 either! 😆

 

I have seen a few references to the 765 getting mid-40's when babied. If I "hyper-miled" a Street Triple, I could probably touch 50MPG (US gallons) but, at that point why not get a Vespa instead?

 

I had a '22 Grom briefly this summer but sold it right away ... I could average 165 mpg if I babied the throttle on that bike, hah. So slow, too slow, not for me.

I like the thread title ... I keep reading it as, "Speed Triple: 1,200 mpg?"

 

I saw one I-30 in Dallas during rush hour!

I think that organ donor had a death wish.

 

So I just filled up mine, and entered the details into Fuelly.

Most if not all riding has been to and from work, suburbs to City (18km's each way)
Mostly in 3rd gear, maybe sometimes in 4th
7.1 L/100km
33.1 MPG (US)
39.8 MPG (UK)
14.1 km/L

So far more thirsty than the SDR I had

 

Mine was averaging 6l/100Km until I clocked up 5,000km, since then the consumption has gradually been dropping, now at 5.5l/100.
Incidentally, I regularly refuel after 200Km riding with about 120Km showing on the gauge (was 100Km, but again this has been gradually improving). After refuling, it now shows a range of about 325Km.
The odd thing is that the improvement coincided with me changing my route home to go for a blast through the hills and skip a long 50kph crawl, so I guess the bike is telling me it prefers having its neck wrung and is rewarding me with better fuel consumption.

 

A little surprising. Sometimes bigger engines are more efficient at a proper operating speed versus loping along or doddling along.

 

i see this has gone stale for some reason, so in an attempt to revive it: i have 3,600 miles, i was getting 38 mpg riding a mix of canyons and highway and could get 42 highway cruising. I modified the exhaust including deleting cat, and modified throttle bodies and a very light port job on intake and exhaust ports and added PC6 with a Dyno tune which combined added 14hp to the wheel. now i get 37mpg and 40-41 highway cruising.

 

I average 32 mpg US on my ‘22 RS.
