How bad is that nasty 650 Twin on fuel economy?

I am putting less gas in my p650 than my old 2000 400 Kodiak 4x4 auto.

I hate to say it but I put alot more fuel in mine than any one else. But I am the first one at the pumps... I fill up grab a sub eat it and I'm still waiting for everyone else. It's also more aggressive on fuel the more you use the throttle but if you are on the throttle and going in a pack everyone else will run out of fuel before you.
Seriously you are looking about 18 liters per 150km.

GOOD GRIEF!!!
50 miles to a tank !!
Some of you must really ride & push your P650/700s to the limits.

My riding gives me a range of 80 miles before that last bar on the fuel guage starts flashing, then I stop & try to put the 3.25 gal fuel pack into the gas tank but so far it has never drank the whole extra fuel-pack. No, I don't ride hard all the time, can't where I go riding or you will drive off a cliff or wrap yourself around a tree or two or worse slide off one of those gravel laced forest roads & end up in the ditch upside down. Overall I still have a blast but more of a mixture of speeds & terrain.

On my '03 650, with 27" mudlites, I can get 90-95 Km's, before the last bar starts flashing, then somewhere's handy to 130 Km's before she'll go dry. Which equates out to a little over 20 MPG (imperial gallons)
