99.5 mpg (US), works out to approx 2.4l/100km.  I’m impressed.

During break-in I got up to 95 mpg (US). Gentle country lane riding, 35-55 mph will return 82-83 mpg. Brisk 60-65 mph running gives around 73-75 mpg. I do check at every fill up.

Same on my Classic except it has never dipped below 80 mpg US.

That's about what I get with my Meteor. I haven't seen 95 mpg, but for gentle country lane riding or brisk riding, my fuel economy is similar to yours.

Ya know, that's interesting. Perhaps Garry of the 'Economical Rides' YT channel will shed some light on comparative fuel economy on his new Classic and Meteor 350's. I'll ask when he posts a new vid. He's usually very good at responding to commenters. BTW, enjoying your FB group :)

So, ER did post a video today and did reply to my question. He will be addressing the comparative fuel economy in an upcoming video.

What's going on with the Meteor?  If I look at reviews from India, I see fuel efficiency claims around 40 kpl or better, which is better than 90 mpg.

But, look at one of these US reviews of the machine and they will give tested numbers in the sub 70 mpg range, then still say it's "good", which it is, but?    I was able to achieve that level of economy on my 10 year old 500 UCE, in city driving and without really trying.

Are these guys professional Hoonigans, or is our gasoline just that bad?

Normally, I'd turn to Fuelly for good data on any model's fuel efficiency, but even though apparently 3 owners of Meteors have joined up and configured their machines, Fuelly is still claiming that the Meteor is an "Invalid Model".  https://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle

Is this some kind of coverup?  If I need to call Rudy Giuliani I will!

Comparable to several of these responses, hovering around 86mpg (USA). City traffic & light country back roads, 30-50mph...

I’ve averaged 105 MPG (Imperial) over my first 1000 miles on my Classic 350. That’s 2.69L/100km. I’m really pleased with that especially as petrol is now almost £9 a gallon in the UK (about 11USD).
