So just injoy it.. And not care about fuel consumption. Just if you go for some long distantion.

 But if ride I am sure it be 6l and up.

 Because got on 370cc easy near 6L

Get a life! And the rest of you economy freaks!

What started as a half interesting topic has degenerated into a fuel consumption fest!

I've ridden motorcycles all my adult life, that's 41 years of owning and riding, and i can't ever remember having fuel consumption conversations with any of my mates about bikes we were riding. It's just not on the agenda.

You wanna fuel consumption conversation, move it to the housewive's hatchback car forum.

Jeez.

Perhaps you have been fortunate enough never having to worry about money.

I consider fuel economy one of the many great reasons to ride a motor cycle.

Your post is really quite offensive. 

 

Your negativity adds nothing to the discussion.

Your negativity adds nothing to the discussion.

Most discussions after a ride, sitting round the bikes or at a table having a beer or coffee,  generally sound like;

"hey did you see the blonde we past in the convertible near that lake?"

" wow, weren't those mountains impressive"

"what a series of bends back there"

"stunning scenery"

"Christ your bike was loud in that last tunnel"

"nearly lost it in that first bend before so and so"

etc etc etc

Not;

"gosh, I noticed I was getting an average of 49.7 mpg at a steady 63 mph on that last stretch".

As I said, get a life.

I mean, you are going to choose Z from XYZ because the fuel economy is better?

No, I have worried about money, I am certainly not wealthy, but fuel economy does not enter the equation to what motorcycle I own or will buy.

 

 

As I said, get a life, or buy a housewife's hatchback car or stick to economy scooters. I hear you can get 100mpg out of a FI 110cc Honda Wave....

 That's really really interesting....

And now back to the Benelli 500 please.
Interesting that bike, well I gonna keep my current bike but like to follow what is going on the ever evolving Thai bike market.
500cc is probably the sweet spot for Thailand for a economic, fun and yet capable bike.
Okay the super sports bike riders will not be impressed but many of us can enjoy motorcycling under 200km/h.

You don't need to exceed 200+ to enjoy bikes over 500cc

Most of the fun in my opinion is the acceleration anyway

I have made  trips in the 200-300+ range but it's really not worth the mini-heart attack when you have a close call 

650-800 I think Is about perfect for Thailand if you want to go inter provincial on the same roads cars use

The police won't even try and chase you on the road to the airport if you fly past him on 650 or bigger :)

Its not talking about money.

 As example. I am ride from Chiang Mai to Pattaya by Duke 390. So must think about fuel.. Because if real ride and enjoyed, need find Gas station near every 100km.. And not every Gas station sell 95 gasoline.

 On ducati diavel same situation. Near every 160 km need find gas station.

I could enjoy a couple of days ride from say Mukdahan on the Laos border to Chang Rai in the Golden Triangle on a Speed Triple going for it, just as happily as pootling along at 80-90 kmph all day long on a Yamaha SR400 or Enfield 500 single. You get to see the scenery more, when relaxed and going at a slower pace.

He said gasoline not gasohol.

Same with my friend on a Hyperstrada, looking for pure fuel.

Now back to the Benelli, if that's possible, 555

Want good fuel economy - get a bicycle.

Bennelli like the others, function fine on gasohol.

Just twist the throttle 2% more.

Simple.

I do own a bicycle ... and as previously mentioned fuel economy and touring range go hand in hand.

I would not consider purchasing any bike with endurance much less 300klms,  so imho the discussion

of economy and range are particularly relevant.

 

However, what concerns me most is the attempts to shut other peoples opinions down by bullying, bluster

and insults.

I did none of those things.

Where are you riding in LOS that you need 300 km range ? Every Ban has fuel for sale.

And that 'The fuel has water/dirt/dead dogs' in it ia bunk. Never had an issue in over 15 years.

How long would the seller be in business if the locals got raked over the coals with substandard fuel ?

I expressed my opinion. Nothing more.

[ledi]

Time to say "Bye bye beach".
Leoncino did well so far. 
Btw it takes 95 Gasohol - last fill 26.3 km/Lt

I sure you not owned some motorcycle a small tank and a large fuel consumption. Or not really ride them...:)

I owned a Harley sportster 48. Small tank and 1200cc's.
I could not get even 90 kms on a tank.
Useless on Phuket roads and useless for freeway as you need a gas station almost immediately.

That was my first and last Harley.
