By engine size.
What each class claims, what owners get, and what it costs to run.
| Engine size | Bikes | Claimed | Owners get | Running cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 - 399cc | 2 | 33.5 | 24.5 | too few |
650cc and above is left blank rather than filled with a figure we cannot stand behind.
Model by model.
Claimed mileage against what owners record. 0 models have at least 20 owners logging; the most-owned are shown.
| Model | Owners | Claimed | Owners get | Difference |

Some models beat their claim. Shown exactly as they fall — this is what owners record, not a verdict on anyone’s engineering.
How these are made.
- Mileage is measured full tank to full tank from fill-ups riders log, with the odometer reading each time.
- Claimed figures are the manufacturer’s published economy.
- Distance is recorded by GPS during a ride.
- Minimum sample. 20 owners for a mileage figure, 3 riders for a distance. Thinner than that and the row is left out.
- Outliers outside 5–120 kmpl are dropped as entry errors.
- Who logs. Riders who choose to track their spending, so read these as what engaged owners record rather than a national average.
- No personal data. Nothing here identifies a rider, a bike or a location.
- Measured 22-Sep-2026, updated as riders log more.
