FZ6If you’re looking for one bike to perform a multitude of missions, look no further.
Take it from Cycle World* Magazine - “For a more advanced rider looking for a bike to do it all, there is no other choice.”

Just reached 1000 miles on my 07. I cruise around 4-5k around town and really on get on it getting on the freeway. With this style i get around 150 miles to 3.8 gallons of fuel.
When in the twisty and mountain area i get slightly worse. Something like 135 miles to a tank.
EDIT: let me add that i am 310 lbs!!!!

About 180-190 miles on a tank before I slip into reserve. Mostly interstate during the week. Approximately 100 miles to work and back.
Fuel is a little worse on the weekends, maybe about 160-170 miles

225 miles before I ran out of gas last week. Said it was 41 miles into reserve when I coasted into the station. Mostly highway miles at between 35-80 mph. I think I would go 200 miles with easy riding before looking for gas. Mileage is about 20-25% less when riding 2-up. I always fill to the bottom of the screen with bike on side stand.
Keep the same kinda records on my 07 R6S and 05 Tundra...
Works out to about $0.06/mile on the FZ6, almost $0.07/mile on the R6S, and over $0.19/mile in the Tundra.
Holy shit, that is the most insane thing I have ever seen in my life.... I have absolutely no idea how much gas I use, how many MPG I get, and I really don't even pay attention to what I pay at the pump (although I do look around for better gas prices while in my cage)
Do you want to come over and balance my checkbook? lol

Hahaha...the trick to balancing your check book is to not use it. I use my credit card like a debit card, plus I get 2% back on all purchases. Just pay off the credit card every month (the 'like a debit card' part) and you never get hit with finance charges. Really, it's just one charge you have to balance instead of dozens (or in my case 100s of charges).
