2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250R Gas Mileage
My 2007 Ninja 250R has only been driven about 150 miles so the engine is not broken in yet.
Last time I put some gas in it, I reset the trip meter. Today, with the meter at 109 miles, I put some gas in it. It would only take 1.57 gallons. The gas cost $2.889/gal so the grand total was $4.55.
That’s 69.4 mpg!
Keep in mind that I’m a new motorcycle driver and most of my driving so far has been stop-and-go and under 45 miles per hour. If I get into sixth gear, it’s rarely for more than one or two miles before I need to downshift.
UPDATE 2/25/07: Now that I’ve been riding this for a few months, I would say the mileage averages somewhere in the high 60’s for this bike.

Riding my 88 cubic inch (thats 1430 cc) a 650 lb bike, Harley Davidson FXDCI Dyna FI . I weigh 300 lbs and add another 50 lbs for my alpine star leathers and bell helmet. That is 1000lbs…….with my new Chriscross patent pending technology heads I average 56-58 mpg. We have the same bike in a 1380 cc, 80 cubic inch configuration hitting 58-62 mpg.
The test route is semi suburban, has 31 stops, has 10 spots where you hit 55-60 mph for more than 2 miles.
We welcome independent testing from valid corporate or govermental entities.
