| 60 is about my normal. A lot depends on how I use it. Dead into a 20mph wind at 60, it tends to drop off a bit. 65 is about typical for general use. | |

Are you using ODO miles, or real miles, to figure out your MPG? If using ODO miles, chances are your MPG figures are highly optimistic. My own WR, using real not ODO reported mileage: Off road with lots of sand: 50mpg Off road with lots of fire roads: 60mpg Street: 55-65 depending on cruising around/freeway/canyon carving. Overall to date: 58mpg | |

| During break in at Big Bend NP in Feb of 2010 on a completely stock '08 R2 I saw as high as 90 mpg. Mostly 75 mpg. I was riding two track at a very consistent 35-40 mph in 5th and 6th and had altitude of 1800 to 7000' helping out. Now with the Athena Big Bore and supplied GPa with K&N and stock air box and exhaust on dual sport on off rides it's easily 60 mpg. Can't have much more fun than a 150 mile, 7 hr dual sport ride for less than three gallons of high test even when it was $4.999 per gallon in the great north woods of Wisconsin. | |

| I get about 30 or less. But I do 99% off road, hard riding, with bigger sprocket and knobbies. Mileage measured via GPS... | |

WR stock speedo and odometer are notoriously inaccurate, and to make things worse both are off by different amounts (thank you Yamaha). My speedo is off by 13% (too fast), odo by 6% (too far). My guess is your 63mpg is more like 57mpg. Right on average (http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/yamaha/wr250r) . | |
