All you trail riders out there, what's the most kilometers you've travelled on one tank in other words how many kilometers per litre do you get?
I'm thinkin about a cross country trek soon & need an idea how much fuel I'm gonna need.
cheers....

gday buzz...i don't know about your bike depending on tank capacity but you need to take into consideration how hard you ride, what mods your bike has & what type of terrain your riding on. I can get around 140kms give or take a few kms. go buy one of those 6 pack carry racks & get a jerry can to fit. should be right then or figure out other ways to carry fuel

12lt for 92km's thats not bad going as long as your still towin that caravan lol.
I went for an 80 km ride yesterday used a bit over half a tank (10lt tank) pretty mellow ride though too dusty to have a red hot go.

I went up the beach (soft sand) 35 km with the misses on the back doing about 30 kmph,
Turned around to go back, when we got back to the car the tank was empty.
10 litres 70 kms (YFZ450)
